(c) What is the latitudinal value of the Tropic of Concer?
(d) What are the three heat zones of the Earth?
(e) What are parallels of latitude and meridians of longitude?
(0 Why does the torrid zone receive maxdmum amount of heat?
lg Why is it 5.30 p.m. in India and 12.00 noon in London?​

Answer 1

Answer:

a. sphere shape.

b. A globe is a spherical model of Earth, of some other celestial body, or of the celestial sphere. Globes serve purposes similar to some maps, but unlike maps, do not distort the surface that they portray except to scale it down. A model globe of Earth is called a terrestrial globe.

c. Approximately 23°27

d. The heat zones of the Earth are: the Torrid Zone, the Temperate Zones and the Frigid Zones

e. Circles parallel to the Equator (lines running east and west) are parallels of latitude. They are used to measure degrees of latitude north or south of the Equator. ... Meridians of longitude are drawn from the North Pole to the South Pole and are at right angles to the Equator.

f. The torrid zone receives the maximum amount of heat throughout the year because the rays of the sun fall vertcally on this regon.

g. The Indian Standard Meridian is located 82½° east of the Prime Meridian. Thus the Indian Standard Time (IST) is 5 hours and 30 minutes ahead of GMT. ... That is why, when it is 12 noon in London, it is 5.30 P.M. in India. As we know the earth rotates form west to east the sun rays first fall on the eastern most longitudes.

Hope this answer helpful to you....

Answer 2

Answer: (a) oblate spheroid

               (b) A globe is a spherical model of Earth, of some other celestial body, or of the celestial sphere.

               (c)Tropic of Cancer, latitude approximately 23°27′ N of the terrestrial Equator.

               (d)The Earth is divided into three Heat Zones. The Frigid Zone, The Temperate Zone and The Torrid Zone

               (e) Circles parallel to the Equator (lines running east and west) are parallels of latitude

                   The torrid zone receives the maximum amount of heat throughout the year because the rays of the sun fall vertically on this region.

              The Indian Standard Meridian is located 82½° east of the Prime Meridian. Thus the Indian Standard Time (IST) is 5 hours and 30 minutes ahead of GMT. ... That is why, when it is 12 noon in London, it is 5.30 P.M. in India
