What else can I help you with?
What are also called parallels?
They are also called latitude or degrees of latitude
What are the 4 characteristics of parallels?
Parallels are lines that run east-west on the globe. Parallels are always parallel to each other and do not intersect. Parallels are measured in degrees of latitude. The equator is the most famous parallel, located at 0 degrees latitude.
What imaginary lines are numbered in degrees north and south of the equator?
Lines of latitude, also known as parallels, are numbered in degrees north and south of the equator. The equator itself is 0 degrees latitude, while the North Pole is 90 degrees north latitude and the South Pole is 90 degrees south latitude.
What is another name for latitude?
Sometimes they will be called parallels. The middle is the equator (as you know.).
How many degrees do the parallels divide the earth in?
The parallels, or lines of latitude, divide the Earth into 360 degrees. The equator represents 0 degrees latitude, while the poles are at 90 degrees north and 90 degrees south. Each degree of latitude corresponds to approximately 69 miles (111 kilometers) apart.
What are the total number of parallels at an interval of 5 degree?
-- Since you're asking for "parallels", we know that the discussion concerns latitude.-- The total extent of latitude on the Earth is 180 degrees.-- The north and south poles are degenerate "parallels", i.e. circles with zero radiusat 90 degrees north and south latitude.-- If we draw in all the rest of the parallels between the poles at intervals of5 degrees, we'll need to draw 35 of them.
Another name for the lines of latitude?
The other name that is used for lines latitude is parallels. The main latitude is the equator which is at zero degrees.
What are earth's parallels called?
Earth's parallels are called lines of latitude. They are imaginary lines that run parallel to the equator and are used to measure the distance north or south of the equator in degrees.
Parallels measure distance from the equator to this?
Parallels measure distance from the equator to the poles, specifically the North and South Poles. They are lines of latitude, with the equator at 0 degrees latitude and the poles at 90 degrees latitude. Each degree of latitude corresponds to approximately 69 miles (111 kilometers) on the Earth's surface.
How many parallels can br drawn on a globe at an interval of 10 degrees?
A globe can have parallels drawn at 10-degree intervals ranging from 0 degrees at the Equator to 90 degrees at the poles. Since there are 180 degrees of latitude (90 degrees north and 90 degrees south), this results in a total of 19 parallels in each hemisphere, plus the Equator, making 39 parallels in total.
What continent goes through three of the important parallels of latitude?
It's tough to figure out what this question is getting at, because there arean infinite number of parallels of latitude, not three.I'm going to take a wild guess: The question is referring to the three parallelsthat have names and are grouped in the middle of the globe, where they're mostnoticeable . . . the Equator, the Tropic of Cancer, and the Tropic of Capricorn.All three of those parallels cross the continent of Africa.You're welcome. And if that's not the intent of the question, then it seems to methat the question is otherwise quite meaningless.
What parallels is Antarctica between?
You can find Antarctica between 60 and 90 degrees South Latitude.
