What applies to latitudes farther from the equator?
Latitudes farther from the equator have higher numbers. The equator is 'zero' latitude, and the poles are 90 degrees north and south.
Why are latitudes concentric but longitudes meet at the poles?
Latitudes are parallel to the equator. Longitudes converge like elastics on a soccer ball.
Do the the temperates climates occur in the middle latitudes?
Temperate climates occur in the middle latitudes, the region halfway between the equator and the poles.
What latitudes tend to cause problems for sailing ships besides around the equator?
Poles, Bermuda Triangle
How many latitudes are there in total?
there are 181 latitudes.90 latitudes above equator+90 latitudes below the equator +equator.90+90+1=181
How does biodiversity change with latitude and area?
There is maximum diversity at equator and minimum at poles , areas also change with change of latitudes .
Why there are 181 parallels latitudes?
This is because there are 90 latitudes above the equator, 90 latitudes below the equator and one is the equator itself.....so when we add them up (including the equator) we get 181.
The highest degrees of latitude are closest to the equator?
No. 90 degrees latitude corresponds to the north and south poles,while the latitude of the equator is zero. So you'd have to say thatthe lowest latitudes are the ones closest to the equator.
What is an example of latitudes?
Latitude is how far north or south you are from the equator which is the line of 0 latitude.The measurement in made in degrees and the poles are 90o North or South.
How Distinguish between latitudes and longitudes?
Lines of latitude run parallel to the equator. Lines of longitude run vertically - passing through both poles.
Why the coriolis effect increase with increase latitude?
The Coriolis effect gets stronger with higher latitudes. It is strongest at the poles and nonexistent at the equator.
What is the name of the winds between the poles and the equator?
I believe it's Doldrums, Trade Winds, Horse Latitudes, and West Easterlies
