6. Differentiate between the following.
(a) Latitudes and longitudes
(b) Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn
(c) Torrid Zone and Frigid Zone
(d) Axis and Equator
Answers
Explanation:
Latitude implies the geographic coordinates that determine the distance of a point, north-south of the equator. Longitude alludes to the geographic coordinate, which identifies the distance of a point, east-west of the Prime Meridian.
The Tropic of Cancer is the most northern latitude on the Earth where the sun can appear directly overhead. The Tropic of Capricorn is the most southern latitude on the Earth where the sun can appear directly overhead. The Tropic of Cancer is currently positioned at approximately 23.4 degrees north of the Equator.
It lies between the tropic of cancer in the north and tropic of Capricorn in the south. The sun rays are slanting and provide less heat to this zone. Torrid zone experience scorching heat in day time and heavy rain by evening. Frigid zone remains snow covered throughout the year.
Axis:-The axis of the earth is an imaginary line passing through the interior of the earth it connects the two poles (north pole,south pole). ... Equator:-(Latitudes:- the imaginary lines that are drawn from west to east across the globe are called latitudes. They are all not of the same length.
Explanation:
a) Latitude implies the geographic coordinates that determine the distance of a point, north-south of the equator. Longitude alludes to the geographic coordinate, which identifies the distance of a point, east-west of the Prime Meridian.
There are 180 latitude lines: There are 360 longitude lines
The length of the lines are different: The length of the lines are the same
It is known as parallels: It is known as meridians
It classifies heat zones: It classifies time zones
b) The Tropic of Cancer is the most northern latitude on the Earth where the sun can appear directly overhead. The Tropic of Capricorn is the most southern latitude on the Earth where the sun can appear directly overhead. The Tropic of Cancer is currently positioned at approximately 23.4 degrees north of the Equator.
c) the torrid zone is the part between the topic of cancer and capricon the torrid zone is the hots zone because the sun rays fall direct on it and the frigid zone are in the artic circle and the antartic circle they are the coldest places because the suns rays fall santing towardsw them because of the tilted nature of the earth. this is a fact in the frigid zone as there are two frigid zone one frigid zone will have sunlight for 7 month and the second will have no light for 7 month this is a alternative process when one will have light the other will not have for 7 month
d) 1: The axis of the Earth pierces through the body of the Earth in a straight line joining the two poles, whereas the Equator is a great circle lying totally on the surface of the Earth. 2: As the Earth rotates about its axis, no point on the axis moves, whereas every point on the Equator is in motion.
