What is the earth's surface distance equivalent to a longitudinal or latitudinal degree?

The earth's circumference is 40,000 km almost exactly. So 90 degrees of latitude or of longitude covers a distance of 10,000 km. (The distance north-south on a meridian is slightly less than round the equator, but we will take them as the same).
So 1 degree is 10,000/90 km = 111.11 km. = 69.05 miles.

Compare and contrast 3 types of waves?
Transverse (rope),Longitudinal (spring),and Surface (Water & Air) waves
How does a wave surface form?
This occurs when transverse waves and longitudinal waves combine!
How do you calculate seconds of latitude and longitude into meters?
At the equator 1° of latitude or longitude is equal to about 111 kilometers (69 miles). This remains the same for latitude (north-south) measurements, but the longitude lines get closer together as you move poleward.
What two factors determine the distance from the free surface to the basal surface in epithelial tissue?
Speed and distance
What is the Distance from the bottom of the objective lens to the surface of the slide?
working distance
When you use the word-coordinance re maps-Please tell me how to spell it It will be used for a geographical location Thanks Rosemary?
The correct term is "coordinates," referencing the latitude and longitude of a specific geographical location. Remember to double-check the spelling whenever referencing coordinates to ensure accuracy.
Longitudinal arch is found on What is surface of foot?
plantar surface.
Is a water wave transverse or longitudinal?
Water is both a Longitudinal and Transverse Wave. They are Transverse on the surface, this is because the motion of the surface water waves go up and down,which is perpendicular from the still surface of the water. Longitudinal because the underwater goes back and forth which is parallel to the water, making it Longitudinal.

Why are the waves longitudinal in fluids?
because the surface of water is horizontal and not vertical.........................
When a raindrop hits the surface of a lake circular surface waves form What is true about these surface waves?
The surface waves cannot be classified as transverse or longitudinal waves.
How does a wave surface form?
This occurs when transverse waves and longitudinal waves combine!
In surface waves the combination of transverse and longitudinal motions produce what?
circular motion
Deadly longitudinal waves that roll the surface like flipping a carpet?
S waves
Particles in a wave move in an elliptical or circular motion?
surface waves
What are facts about waves?
There are different kinds of waves... sound, ocean, surface, longitudinal, and transverse.
what is the difference between longitudinal and surface waves?
Longitudinal wave particles move parallel to the way the wave is moving. Surface wave particles move in a circular motion.
