What distance in metres on the ground is the equivalent of one second of arc in longitude or latitude?

One minute of arc as measured at the centre of the Earth covers one nautical mile on the surface of the Earth at mean sea level. One nautical mile is 6080 feet or 1853.2 metres. Therefore one second of arc would be 6080 / 60 = 101.3 feet or 30.886 metres. Lines of latitude are at regular intervals parallel to the equator. The relationship between degrees of latitude and the distance spanned on the earths surface remains constant. Therefore at all latitudes 1 minute of latitude spans 1 nautical mile on the earths surface. Lines of longitude converge at the poles. Therefore the relationship between degrees of longitude and the distance spanned on the earths surface is reduced as the poles are approached. At the equator the distance spanned by 1 minute of longitude would be 1 nautical mile. At the poles it would be zero. To calculate the actual distance on the surface of the earth between two points of known latitude and longitude requires a knowledge of spherical trigonometry to calculate the great circle distance between the two points. The distances quoted are for the surface of the earth at mean sea level. Distances will be increased above sea level and reduced below it.


What shows the relationship between distances on a map and the corresponding distances on the earths surface?

The SCALE of the map indicates the relationship between lengths measured on a map and the actual distances. It can indicate the ratio of distances (e.g. 1:10000) or the equivalent actual distance for an inch or centimeter as measured on the map, often providing a measurement bar for various distances.


What is the difference between vulcanicity and volcanicity?

Vulcanicity is a process through which gaseous, liquid and solid materials are forced out of the earths crust to the earths surface. Volcanicity is the process where igneous materials reaches the earths surface from the earths crust to the earth surface
