The prime meridian runs through three continents. These continents include Europe, Antarctica, and Africa. The prime meridian is also referred to as the Greenwich meridian.
No. Not all plate boundaries are at the edges of continents, nor do all edges of continents correspond with plate boundaries. Many plate boundaries are found in the middle of oceans, while the continent of Africa is being torn apart by a developing plate boundary. Some edges of continents, such as the west coast of South America are near plate boundaries. These are called active continental margins. Others, such as the east coast of North America, are nowhere near plate boundaries. These are called passive continental margins.
The lines that measure east and west on the globe are called longitude lines or meridians. The prime meridian, located at 0 degrees, divides the Earth into Eastern and Western Hemispheres. Longitude lines run vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole.
The lines on a globe refer to latitude and longitude lines that help locate points on Earth's surface. Latitude lines run east-west and measure a point's distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run north-south and measure a point's distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. These lines intersect at specific points to create a grid system used for navigation and mapping.
This is a run-on sentence because two independent clauses ("By the 1970s scientists have accepted the idea of moving continents" and "Today geologists refer to this movement as plate tectonics") are connected without proper punctuation or conjunction. To correct it, you could separate the clauses into two sentences or use a semicolon to connect them.
No, the Earth will not run out of oxygen in the future. Oxygen is constantly being produced by plants through photosynthesis, ensuring a continuous supply for living organisms.
The prime meridian runs through Europe, Africa and Antarctica.
The Prime Meridian actually passes through three continents: Europe, Africa, and Antarctica.
No, the Prime Meridian does not run through Tokyo. The Prime Meridian passes through Greenwich, London, and serves as the starting point for measuring longitude.
The continents that the Prime Meridian passes through are Europe, Africa, and Antarctica.
