What is the general trend of the biodiversity in biomes as the latitude moves from the arctic region towards the equator?

Does light intensity or concentration of carbon have a greater impact on photosynthesis?

The light intensity has a little bit more effect. The amount of carbon dioxide is generally in excess of what is required for the photosynthesis. It would have to raise significantly above current levels to overtake the effect of light intensity. That is not to say carbon dioxide concentration isn't still very important. The carbon dioxide concentration also has a minor secondary effect by slightly expanding the tropical and temperate regions towards towards the poles when it is higher and shrinking them towards the equator when it drops - it has to be warm for photosynthetic plants to thrive.

What is the difference between phototropism and geotropism?

Phototropism - towards light. Think plants, flowers, leaves. They generally turn towards light.Geotropism - towards the earth. Go figure.Hydrotropism - towards water or towards moisture.

Is tropism the movement of a plant towards or away from a stimulus?

Towards. As in, phototropism. The tendency of plants to grow towards light.

What does affered mean?

to carry towards

Does direction superior means front towards the front of the body?

no that is anterior, superior is towards the top head, inferior is towards the bottom

What is the distance between London and the Equator?

1655 miles towards the equator, 41 N latitude.

How does a locations latitude determine how warm or cold it is?

The latitude can be thought of as the distance from the equator. 0 degrees latitude is the equator, which is typically warmer than locations closer than the poles. As you move away from the Equator and towards the North or South poles, the weather tends to be colder. In contrast, the region between the poles and the equator often has a greater temperature range variation.

What does 1 degrees of latitude equal?

Only at the equator. The linear distance covered by 1 degree of longitude gets progressively smaller as you progress towards the poles, but 1 degree of latitude remains constant.

What is the general rule regarding the temperature of currents moving towards and away from the equator?

Why does the distance between 1 degree longitude decrease from the equator towards the poles?

Lines of latitude are shorter as you approach the poles. Imagine a spherical loaf of bread cut into slices. For each slice, the crust is like a line of latitude.

What effect does latitude have on temperature on the ocean?

Latitude has everything to do with climate . - The tropics are between 23.5S and 23.5N latitude, - here high temperatures are the norm. Either way north or south from this, ambient temperatures get lower and climate is cooler as you move towards either pole.

Why do latitude lines run north and south of the equator?

Latitude lines run north and south of the equator because they are used to measure distance north or south of the equator. The equator serves as the reference point for measuring latitude, with lines of latitude extending from the equator towards both the North Pole and the South Pole.

List out the properties latitudes and longitude?

Latitude1. It is an angle measured in degrees with reference to Equator of the Earth towards North or South2. The Latitude runs East-West but specifies North South position of a point.3. Latitude of:- Equator = 00- North Pole = 900N or +900- South Pole = 900S or -9004. Each Latitude is parallel to other latitude, therefore, it is also called Parallel5. Only one latitude having max dia passes through the equator that's why the equator is known as the Great Circle which theoretically bisects the earth into Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere6. Latitude in measure from 00 to 900Longitude1. It is an angle measured in degrees with reference to Prime Meridian towards East or West2. It runs North-South but specifies East West Position of a Point3. Longitude of:- Prime Meridian = 00- East = 900E or +900- West = 900W or -9004. It is also known as meridian. No meridian is parallel to other rather all longitudes converge to North Pole and South Pole5. Every Line of Latitude is a Great Circle6. Longitude is measure from 00 to 1800

Why animals move towards the equator during an ice age?

because in the equator, it is warmer.

what percentage of ocean is there at forty degrees south latitude?

The percentage of ocean there is at forty degrees South latitude is unknown. However, the surface ocean currents are those same exact coordinates flow northward towards the equator. The closest ocean current to this would be the West Australian Current.

How does a latitude position affect water?

The latitude position affects water in several ways. It influences the distribution of temperature, with water closer to the equator being warmer and water closer to the poles being colder. It also affects the ocean currents, with warm currents flowing from the equator towards the poles and cold currents flowing from the poles towards the equator. Additionally, latitude impacts the amount of sunlight and precipitation that different regions receive, which in turn affects the amount of water available.
