Does the temperature increase or decrease when you get to the south?
If you are North of the equator.....If you travel north, latitude increases,If you travel south, latitude decreases.If you are South of the equator.....If you travel north, latitude decreases,If you travel south, latitude increases.
Does the location of the global surface wind and pressure systems change over the year?
Yes, they move north or south following the vertical noontime sun.
At the north pole do surface winds move north or south?
north
Two places on earth that you can't travel east or west?
north and south pole. at the north pole the only direction you can move is south, at the south pole the only direction you can move is north... however this falls apart as soon as you leave the pole (even one step) then you can turn right or left and move east or west. (though not far)
How does latitude determine the amount of solar energy recieved on earth?
Hold the torch square on to the globe at the equator and note the area of light, now move the torch north or south vertically and notice how the contact area increases with latitude angle reducing the energy per unit area. Also it has further to travel through the atmosphere, dissapating more energy.
What wind systems move air about 60 north or south latitude to the poles?
polar eaterlies
When Line of latitude run in a north south direction but are measured in what degrees?
No line of latitude is a north/south line. A move to the north or south is a change of latitude.
What lines move north and south of the earth?
Latitude
Does the temperature increase or decrease when you get to the south?
If you are North of the equator.....If you travel north, latitude increases,If you travel south, latitude decreases.If you are South of the equator.....If you travel north, latitude decreases,If you travel south, latitude increases.
Will a shadow be longer if you move north on the longitude line or smaller?
That completely depends on where you start from. -- If you're in the southern Hemisphere, at latitude more south than 23.5 degrees, then the shadow gets shorter as you move north. -- If you're in the northern Hemisphere, at latitude more north than 23.5 degrees, then the shadow gets longer as you move north. -- If you're anywhere between 23.5 south latitude and 23.5 north latitude, then the behavior of the shadow as you move north depends on the time of the year.
What directions do you move as you travel from one line of latitude to another?
A change of latitude may or may not include an east or west move,but it always involves a north or south move.
What wind system move air from about 60 north or south latitude to the poles?

Are the lengths of lines latitude equal to each other?
No, as you move north (or south) form the equator, they form smaller and smaller circles. -- The length of the zero latitude line (the equator) is about 24,900 miles. -- The length of the 30-degrees latitude line (either north or south) is about 21,500 miles. -- The length of the 60-degrees latitude line (either north or south) is about 12,400 miles. -- The length of the 90-degrees latitude line (north or south pole) is zero.
What is the latitude and longitude for 46 degree north latitude from the prime meridian if you move to 21 degree south 35 degree west 20 degree south 45 degree west and 20 degree north?

Do colder air masses move from north to south?
Not necessarily. While cold air masses in the northern hemisphere often originate farther north than the areas they move into, they most often move westward, as they are usually brought in by westward-moving systems that rotate counterclockwise. In the southern hemisphere the air masses originate in the south and are associated with clockwise-rotating systems.
Above the equator the higher the number of latitude the farther you are?

What is the name of the grid line at 90 degrees north?
There is no line at 90º - whether north or south - latitude. It is a point. The poles are located at these points.The Equator is 0º and the lines of latitude run parallel to that increasing in number as they move away from it, until they get to the 'major' lines - northwards: the Tropic of Cancer at about 23º 26'; then the Arctic Circle at 66º; and then comes the North Pole at 90º. Southwards the Tropic of Capricorn at about 23º 26'; then the Antarctic Circle at 66º and the South Pole at 90º.
