What else can I help you with?
What is latitude equivalent to?
Distance (angular) from the poles (or the equator).
What describes your position on the earth?
Longitude and Latitude are generally what are used to describe your position on the earth. Longitude describes your East-West position relative to some point, and latitude describes your North-South position relative to the Equator. These were historically measured with astronomical observations, but are now most commonly determined by Global Positioning System instruments.
What season is earth in when it east of the sun?
"East of the Sun" does not make sense. The directions North, South, East and West are relative to the Earth's prime meridian and equator, or to a specific spot on the Earth, not relative to a position with respect to the Sun. Please restate the question.
What are the coldest areas on the equator?
The coldest areas on the equator are typically found at high altitudes in mountainous regions near the equator, such as in the Andes Mountains in South America and the Rwenzori Mountains in East Africa. These areas experience colder temperatures due to their elevation despite their proximity to the equator.
Why is earth magnetic field stronger near the equator?
The Earth's magnetic field is stronger near the equator because the magnetic field lines are more compressed at lower latitudes due to the shape of the field. Additionally, the core of the Earth, where the magnetic field originates, is tilted relative to the axis of rotation, causing the field to bulge towards the equator. This results in a stronger magnetic field near the equator.
How has the position of of North America relative to the equator changed over the last 200 million years?
It has moved North of it
How is the position of north America relative the equator?
North of it.
How has the position of North America relative to the equator change over the last 200 years?
It has moved North of it
What terms tells how far north or south of the Equator a place lies?
Latitude - indicates the position north or south relative to the equator. Longitude indicates the position east or west relative to the Greenwich meridian.
Relative location describes where a place or region is compared to the position of?
the equator
Which city has the same relative position north of the equator that santiago has to the north?
The city that has the same relative position north of the equator as Santiago has to the south is Manila in the Philippines. Both cities are located at approximately 14 degrees latitude from the equator.
What is latitude equivalent to?
Distance (angular) from the poles (or the equator).
Is most of South America north or south of the equater?
Most of South America is south of the equator.South of the equator
What does a relative location look like?
A relative location can look like anything. It is a way of describing how to indicate a position or find a place. For instance you could say the hill 4 miles north of Bangkok. The position is given relative to Bangkok. You could also give it coordinates according to the latitude/longitude system. The position is given relative to the prime meridian and the equator.
Why there are 180 paralles of latitude?
-- Latitude is the angle of any location relative to the equator.-- If you travel from the north pole to the south pole, you travel half-way aroundthe Earth (180 degrees), and you cover every possible position on Earth relative tothe equator.
How many hemispheres of?
Earth are there? There are two hemispheres of Earth: the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere, which are divided by the equator. Each hemisphere experiences different seasons and weather patterns based on their position relative to the equator.
How was the position of North America relative to the equator changed over the last 200 million years?
Over the last 200 million years, North America has undergone significant tectonic shifts due to plate tectonics. Initially, it was located closer to the equator during the Mesozoic Era, but it gradually drifted northward, moving away from the equatorial region. This movement is a result of the North American Plate's interactions with other tectonic plates, leading to changes in climate, geography, and biodiversity over millions of years. As a result, North America's climate has shifted from tropical to temperate zones.
