What Determines The Three Main Types Of Climate Zone?
The Zones Are Determine By Latitude, The Distance From The Earths 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.
What is another name for earths zerodegree latitude?
The equator is defined as zero latitude.
Why is the distance on a map showing 1 degree of longitude smaller than 1 degree of latitude yet both represent the same angle?
The lines of latitude represent degrees of arc being 111 kilometers per degree on the Earths surface. (111111.111 meters). That is how the meter was defined. Lines of longutude have this size on the equator but the lines converge at the poles where the distance between them becomes zero. So on maps, you will see that the distance of lines of latitude are always the same but those of longitude are smaller as distance increases away fro the equator.
How does latitude and altitude affect climate?
The altitude affects the climate in the sense that the higher the altitude the colder and harsher the climate. For instance, on top of a mountain there are severe wind chills and extremely low temperatures. Latitude affecting the climate is dependent on the equator. The closer the latitude is to 0 degrees (the equator) the hotter the temperature and the more humidity in the atmosphere.LATITUDE the hottest ares of the earth are located close to the equator the coldest to the poles. this is due to the shape of the earth. the places closest to the equator receive the most direct rays of the sun. regions farther from the equator receive the rays that hit the earths surface on a slant, so the sun's energy is spread over ,and has to heat, a larger area of the earth

The equator is defined as zero latitude.
What is the maximum degree of latitude you can be away from earths equator?
90 ... at the north and south poles.
How are these baselines used to located points on earths surface?
The Equator
What are high-latitude climates?
Zero degree's latitude is the earths equator and is the lowest numerical latitude possible. The further away you go from the equator in both a northerly and southerly direction corresponds to an increasing latitude. So high latitude climates would exist at those points furthest from the equater
What is the distance from the earths ground level to the troposphere?
the distance of the troposphere from the Earth is about 17km from the equator and 5-6km from the poles

What is the name of the imagenary line on the earths 23.5s of the equator?
The Tropic of Capricorn is the imaginary line at approximately 23.5 degrees south latitude.
Time of year when the sun reaches its greatest distance north or south of earths equator?
Summer and winter
How does latitude effect temperature?
Your current latitude affects ambient air temperature because latitude determines your distance on Earth between the Earth's poles and the Earth's equator. The closer you are to the North or South Pole (e.g.: the higher your latitude), the cooler the ground and ambient air will be because there is less sunlight striking the Earth. Conversely, the closer you are to the Equator (e.g.: the lower your latitude), the warmer the ground and ambient air will be because there is more sunlight striking the Earth.The equator is the hottest spot. The closer the latitude is to the equator, the hotter the temperature is, and opposite; the farther the latitude is from the equator, the colder the temperature is.
