Answer 1

shape of the earth is oval this is the answer of one question

globe is a true model of the Earth is the answer of question 2

Tropic of Cancer (23 1\2 degree N) in the northern hemisphere

the three zones of the the earth our torrid zone temperate zone, frigid zone this is the answer of question 4

all parallel circles from the equator up to

the poles are called parallels of latitude•

answer 6 the midday sun is exactly overhead at least once a year on latitudes in between the tropic of Cancer and tropic of Capricorn. This area, therefore recives the maximum heat .

7= because they are situated at different latitudes and longitudes
