Question

Fill in the blanks with appropriate words:
2.1 The circumference of the parallels of latitude gradually
from the equator to pole.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

decreased/ reduced

Explanation:

The earth is a sphere. Imagine a plane intersecting the earth parallel to the equator. Smaller sections of the earth will be cut off as you cut nearer to the pole. At the pole you will have one point touching the earth.

So the lenght of each latitude circle will be smaller as you go north or south.
