The mid-latitude zone is also known as?
The zone is also known as temperate.
What is known as the vegetation on a higher latitude treeless plain?
TUNDRA!
Isotherms are lines that connect points of equal?
Isogone is also known as isogonal line. It is the imaginary line on a map that connects all points of equal magnetic declination.
What is geopotential altitude?
It is a correction/adjustment to Geometric Altitude using variation of gravity with latitude and elevation and hence it is also known as ‘Gravity Adjusted Height’.
Why does horizontal scale of a mercator projection increase with latitude?
The vertical (or latitude) scale increases with latitude, keeping the hoizontal (longitude) constant. This is in order to make the lines of longitude parallel on the chart, instead of, in reality, converging toward the poles. This allows courses to be plotted and drawn on the chart, as straight lines crossing the lines of longitude at the same angle. Known as 'plane sailing'. ie. it is on a plane (flat surface) not a globe.
Line of latitude at 0?
That imaginary line is known as the "equator".
What imaginary line divides the northern and southern hemipheres?
It is the line of latitude known as the Equator (latitude zero).
Which imaginary line creates the northern and Southern Hemispheres?
It is the zero line of latitude known as the Equator.
What imaginary lines are numbered in degrees north and south of the equator?
lines of latitude, also known as parallels
Lines running parallel to the equator are called?
You have answered the question for yourself ; They are 'Latitudes''. Longitudes (Meridians) are lines that run North to South from the North Pole to the South Pole. Longitudes come to a point at the poles, but spread out to a maximum at the Equator.
What degree is the equatre?
The equator is the imaginary line running around the centre of the earth. It is the major line of latitude from which all other lines of latitude (also known as parallels) are measured in degrees north or south of the equator. The equator is thus at 0° .
What is Another word for equator?
The equator is an imaginary line around the centre of the earth, from East to West. It is, by definition 0 degrees of latitude and is named because all places on the line have equal latitude. In nautical history it is known as "The Line" - a sailor who passed over the equator was said to "cross the line" and this was a rite of passage in that sailor's experience.
What imaginary line is halfway between the north and south poles?
The Equator is the imaginary line halfway between the North and South Poles and is at zero degrees latitude. It divides the Earth into North and South Hemispheres and is equidistant from the North Pole and South Pole. The Sun appears directly above the Equator at the Autumn and Spring equinox.The equator.the equator.
What are known numbers?
non-imaginary numbers
Public places where you can wirelessly connect to the internet are known as?
WiFi is available for free in many locations. These are generally known as hotspots. It is important that care is taken when connecting to an open network for personal security reasons.
Is another name for a line of latitude?
Linesof latitude are also known as circles of latitude or parallels.
What imaginary parallel lines run around the globe?
Yes. Horizontal lines of latitude that run across the globe are known as parallels or latitude.
