Parallel lines across the Earth
longitude tall=long
an example of longitude is that noone really cares peeps
The key lines are latitude and longitude. These are based on specific points. The equator is the latitude around the center of the earth. Longitude is measured from the Prime Meridian, which goes through the Greenwich Observatory in England.The Tropics and the Arctic/Antarctic Circle are also key.
Latitude and altitude affect the plants that grow in an area by affecting the temperatures there. The closer the latitude is to the poles, the colder the weather. The higher the altitude, the colder the weather. This means that plants that will grow in warm areas will not do well at higher latitudes or altitudes.
Their function is to succinctly and precisely identify, report, and describe the location of any point on the Earth's surface, in a system that permits the rapid, accurate calculation of the direction and length of the shortest route between any two points. The function of latitude is to tell us far north south the equator we are. The function of longitude is to tell us east and west of the prime meridian we are.
Difficult to explain without pictures, but here goes.... Imagine a circle drawn around the earth, from North to South and passing through both the North and South poles. This called a meridian, or Great Circle. A series of these circles can be drawn, each one being one degree apart, around the circle of the equator, and there would then be 360 such circles. The longitude of any place on earth is measured by how many degrees around is the meridian which passes through it. The starting point for this measurement could be anywhere on earth, but because of Britain's history as a major empire and sea power the starting point is in Greenwich, London. So, the longitude of Greenwich, London is 0 degrees.

2 lines of latitude do not touch because they are parallel to one another. Lines of longitude meet up at the poles.
Latitude and altitude affect the plants that grow in an area by affecting the temperatures there. The closer the latitude is to the poles, the colder the weather. The higher the altitude, the colder the weather. This means that plants that will grow in warm areas will not do well at higher latitudes or altitudes.
Knoxville, Tennesse is in the north and west hemispheres.The coordinates are longitude 35.972882 latitude -83.942161The link below will explain this.north hemisphere and the east hemisphere

In the question, N could be a latitude North of the Equator, and W could be a longitude to the West of the Prime Meridian. But, the actual degrees required have been omitted. This means that the question is impossible to answer. Add the missing degrees and resubmit again: an example for Liverpool, England is 53 N 2 W.
Because the perimeter is a linear measurement, and area is measured by multiplying 2 linear measurements together.
Lines of latitude encircle the earth, with the Great Circle being the Equator. Each line of latitude is parallel to each other, so will never intersect.
what do u mean by precipitation? explain by giving an example
define BCNF. Explain with appropriate example
