Answer 1

The east west extent appears smaller than north south extent due to the fact that latitudes are equidistant from each other but distance between longitudes decreases as one moves from equator to poles therefore, the east west extent that longitudinal appears to be smaller than the north south or latitudinal extent despite both covering a distance of 30 degrees
