What are the special names on a globe?
Arctic Circle, Tropic of Cancer, Equator, tropic of Capricorn, Prime meridian, Antarctic Circle
Is equatorial an adjective?
Yes, it is an adjective for the noun 'equator.' It is used to describe things about the region of the globe nearest the equator, in the tropics. It can also be used for telescope mounts that move both along and perpendicular to the movement of the Earth.
How are latitudes helpful to us?
Latitudes help us determine how far north or south we are on the globe. They also help us determine things like regions, distance from the equator, and in many instances, climate.
What are the lines of latitude that are labeled south?
Any latitude markers that are printed on any map or globe and are between the equator and the south pole must be labeled as "South" latitudes.
Which imaginary line circles the earth at 23.5o S latitude?
The lines on a globe which run north and south are called meridians, or lines of longitude. They run from the North Pole to the South Pole, and only in pairs do they "circle" the Earth.They are used to calculate distance between points on the Earth's surface in an east-west direction. Beginning at the arbitrarily-defined Prime Meridian (0° longitude), they are measured in degrees east or west of that line, which is an angular measurement that can be translated into rough linear distance.Used in conjunction with the lines of latitude (measuring distance north or south of the equator), they can define any point on the surface of the Earth.
The equator divides the globe into halves called?
Hemispheres!
What is the line of latitude that separates the north and south hemisphere?
There is one line, the equator, that separates the northern from the southern hemisphere. The Greenwich Meridian and International dateline form a circle that separates the western from the eastern hemisphere. These are the standard hemisphere divisions of the globe, but every meridian circle divides the globe into 2 halves.
What is the equator an example of?
An equator is an line in the middle of the globe and the prime meridian is down the middle of the globe 🌍🌏🌍🌏🌎
When you cut through the prime meridian and divide the globe into to halves you must also cut through the?
Foreskin.
Is the prime meridian on the top or bottom of the equator?
It goes from the top of the globe to the bottom from about the Atlantic Ocean.
What is the difference between a meridian and parallel?
A meridian is a line of longitude running north-south on the Earth's surface, while a parallel is a line of latitude running east-west. Meridians converge at the poles, while parallels are equidistant from each other. Meridians help in determining time zones, while parallels help in measuring distance from the equator.
Which line of latitude divides the earth into two equal halves?
Technically, and there isn't an upper and lower half of the world, although maps seem to suggest that. However, there is a northern half and a southern half. These are separated by an imaginary line called the Equator.
What devides earth into equal halves?
The equator divides the Earth into equal halves known as the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. The equator is an imaginary line that runs horizontally around the globe and is positioned exactly halfway between the North Pole and the South Pole.
The is found at 0 longitude?
There are an infinite number of points on the earth that have zero latitude.If you draw all of them on a globe, they form the line called the "equator".The Equator.
What are the paralles of latitude?
The angular distance north or south of the earths equator, measured in degrees, along a meridian, as on the map or globe.
Which line of longitude divides the eastern and western hemisphere?
The Prime Meridian divides the globe into Eastern and Western hemispheres, just as the equator divides the globe into Northern and Southern hemispheres.
What are the 6 special names on a globe?
Arctic Circle, Tropic of Cancer, Equator, Tropic of Capricorn, Antartica Circle, Prime Meridian
