Answer 1

Answer:

1

ANS. Parallel lines are the lines having the same distance continuously between them. 2)The distance between the parallel lines will be same at all points. 3)Slope of parallel lines are same. 4)The angles formed when two parallel lines are cut by another line called transversal are same

2.

ANS. We number the parallels on a globe starting with the equator,which is at 0 degrees. Lines of latitude to the north of equator are given 1 degree N to 90 degree N. Similarly to the south of equator.

3.

ANS. 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.

4.

ANS. The length of the parallel increases as we move away from the poles towards the Equator? Why. The length of the parallel increases as we move away from the poles towards the Equator because the Earth is spherical in shape and the circumference of the earth increases as we move towards the Equator.

Hope it helps you!!!
