Answers
Explanation:
1. Juan Sebastián Elcano and the remaining members of Ferdinand Magellan's crew who completed their journey in 1522.
2. The Equator, or line of 0 degrees latitude, divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern hemispheres.
3. A grid helps us to locate or find out the "exact location" of a place with detailed description of the latitudinal and the longitudinal extent of the place, on a globe or a flat map.
4. Today, the Earth's axis is tilted 23.5 degrees from the plane of its orbit around the sun.
Answer:
1) Christopher Columbus and Magellan
2) The equator divides the earth into two hemisphere that is Northern and Southern hemisphere.
3) The grids are the imaginary lines that helps us to locate the exact place on the globe or on the earth.
4) [Um sorry I didn't get the question]
long answer...
1) A globe is a three dimensional sphere used to describe the earth as a whole.
the uses of globe are it helps us to get a vision of the earth.
2) The equator is the imaginary line that runs around the earth and divides the earth into half that is the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere.
The prime meridian is the imaginary line that passes through Greenwich and divides the earth into two half .
3) A notional circle of constant latitude on the earth's surface, parallel to the equator.
4) A notional semicircle of constant longitude on the earth's surface, running from one terrestrial pole to the other.
5) By specifying the latitudes and longitudes we can determine any place on the globe.
