What else can I help you with?
What lines measure the distance north and south of the equator?
Lines of latitude. Longitude is from Pole to Pole.
How does the spacing of parallels change as you move north or south?
The spacing of parallels decreases as you move towards the poles. This is because the lines of latitude converge towards the poles since the Earth's circumference decreases as you move away from the equator.
What is a line latitude?
A line of latitude, also known as a parallel, is an imaginary horizontal line on the Earth's surface that specifies the location of a point north or south of the equator. The equator is 0 degrees latitude, and as you move towards the poles, the latitude increases. Lines of latitude are used to indicate how far north or south a location is on the Earth.
What has north and south pole's?
The Earth has geographic North and South Poles, which are the points where the Earth's axis intersects its surface. Additionally, there are magnetic North and South Poles, which are not fixed and can move over time due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field.
What direction will a magnet line up in if it is free to move?
A freely moving magnet will align itself in a north-south direction, pointing towards the Earth's magnetic poles. This behavior is due to the magnet's natural attraction to the Earth's magnetic field lines.
As you move north or south from the equator the lines of longitude become what to one another?
closer
In which compass direction do you move from antarctica to south America?
Everywhere on earth is north of Antarctica.
Are the north-south globe lines always the same distance apart?
No, the north-south globe lines, known as longitude lines, are not always the same distance apart. The distance between longitude lines decreases as you move towards the poles. At the equator, longitude lines are farthest apart, while at the poles, they converge at a single point.
Hanging magnets line up in a north-south direction because what itself is a magnet?
The Earth itself is a magnet, with a north and south pole. When hanging magnets are free to move, they align themselves with the Earth's magnetic field, pointing north-south due to magnetic attraction.
Is true or false longitude lines meet at the north and south poles?
True. Longitude lines, which are also known as meridians, converge at the North and South Poles. This means that as you move towards the poles, the distance between the longitude lines decreases until they meet at a single point at each pole.
Why does air not move straight north or south because of what?
Air does not move straight north or south due to the Coriolis effect, which is a result of the Earth's rotation. This effect causes moving air masses to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, resulting in curved paths rather than straight north or south movement.
With each line of latitude you cross moving from the north pole you get nearer the?
If you are moving away from the North Pole and crossing lines of Latitude, you are heading for the Equator, and ultimately the South Pole.
