Answer the following questions briefly,
(a) What is the true shape of the earth?
(b) What is a globe?
(c) What is the latitudinal value of the Tropic of Cancer?
(d) What are the three heat zones of the Earth?
le) What are parallels of latitude and meridians of longitude?
Why does the torrid zone receive maximum amount of heat?
@ Why is it 5.30p.m. in India and 12.00 noon in London?
Answers
Answer:
- sphere
- A globe is a spherical model of Earth, of some other celestial body, or of the celestial sphere.
- 23.5 degrees latitude
- The Frigid Zone,The Temperate Zone ,The Temperate Zone
- PARALLELS OF LATITUDE ARE THOSE CIRCLES GOING NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE EQUATOR,THEY NEVER MEET.
Because it takes time for the sunrise (dawn) to travel round the
world, countries towards the east see dawn earlier than countries
Answer:
a-the true shape of earth is a geoid . b-globe is the true model of earth.It shows the exactly same location of places on earth.c-23.5 degree north.d-torrid zone,temperate zone and frigid zone.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.
last question - rotation of earth
the earth`s shape is geoid because it is slightly flattened at the top and bottom. The mid-day Sun is exactly overhead at least once a year on all the latitudes in this area; hence, this area receives maximum amount of heat. The torrid zone has the maximum temperature because the suns rays fall directly on the equator and the areas surrounding it.
