Answer:
1.The five major parallels of latitudes from north to south are called: Arctic Circle, Tropic of Cancer, Equator, Tropic of Capricorn, and the Antarctic Circle. On a maps where the orientation of the map is either due north or due south, latitude appears as horizontal lines.
2.Answer: The meridians or lines of longitude have the following characteristics: All meridians are of the same length and each one is a semi-circle. If any two opposite meridians are taken together, they form a complete circle, which is a great circle. ... All the meridians meet at the poles.
3.The equator
The equator is the circle that is equidistant from the North Pole and South Pole. It divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. Of the parallels or circles of latitude, it is the longest, and the only 'great circle' (a circle on the surface of the Earth, centered on Earth's center).
4.Answer and Explanation: Lines of latitude are also called parallels because they run horizontally to each other and the equator. They are spaced evenly apart and are always...
5. Latitude and longitude provide absolute location for a place on the globe. We can locate places on the globe by determining where lines on latitude and longitude cross. For instance, New Orleans, Louisiana is approximately 30N (latitude) and 90W (longitude). Mark X on New Orleans on your globe.
Explanation:
Plural axes (ăk′sēz′)
An imaginary line around which an object rotates. In a rotating sphere, such as the Earth and other planets, the two ends of the axis are called poles.
