Answers
Explanation:
b. The equator serves many purposes. One of such purposes is to divide the earth into two equal hemispheres - northern and southern
a. Latitude is the angular distance of a place north or south of the Equator.
There are 180 parallels of latitudes apart from the Equator.
Each parallel of latitude is a circle
c. Lines of longitude run north-south, but provide east-west locational reference
d. Grid is the network of lines formed by the combination of parallels of latitudes and longitudes on the globe. It is useful for locating various places exactly on the globe or map.
e. Each degree is divided into minutes and minutes into seconds. The Earth takes 24 hours to complete one rotation or to cover 360° of longitudes.
