1..
the lines of longitude are also called meridians because the places located on the same line of longitude experience the overhead Sun at the same time .
2. the earth's axis is tilted and inclined
it is not entirely vertical and makes an angle of
23.5 degree
The tilt in the axis of the Earth is called its obliquity by scientists.
3. 23. 5 degree
4 A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic solid with a definite chemical composition and a crystalline structure formed by geological processes. A rock is an aggregate of one or more minerals whereas a rock may also include organic remains and mineraloids
5 Exfoliation is a form of mechanical weathering in which curved plates of. rock are stripped from rock below. This results in exfoliation domes or. dome-like hills and rounded boulders. Exfoliation domes occur along planes.

Explanation:
Bcoz in geographical sense meridians are great circle which are not parallel.
The tilted position of the earth axis is called Inclination of earth axis
At 66 1/2degree is inclined.
Rocks has no definite chemical composition.
2)Basalt,granite are some ex of rocks
whereas
Minerals have definite chemical composition
Iron, silicon are abundant minerals
