Answer 1

Explanation:

1) True

2) False

3) False

4)False

5)True

Answer 2

1. The equator helps us measure time. FALSE

• Time is measured by the longitudinal lines. And the Equator is parallel to the latitudinal lines. Hence the Equator does not help us measure time.

2. The meridians of longitude run parallel to each other. FALSE

• Longitudes do not run parallel to each other.
• They intersect in the north pole and south pole.
• Their distance increase as they come closer to equator and decreases towards pole

3. The parallels of latitude are circles. TRUE

• The Latitudes are in parallel. They form circles around the globe from the east to west.

4. The North Pole is located at OºN. TRUE

• The north pole is the most extreme point of the globe. If we see latitudinally the north pole is at 0 degree.

5. Parallels and meridians crisscross to form a grid.​ TRUE

• Maps are often marked with parallels and meridians, creating a grid.
• The points in the grid where latitudes and longitudes meet is called a coordinate.
