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.
What is the altitude ofthe noon sun on December 21?
That completely depends on your latitude ... where you are on earth north or south relative to the equator. -- If your latitude is 23.5° south ... on the Tropic of Capricorn ... the noon sun is directly overhead on December 21. -- If you are more than 23.5° south of the equator, then the noon sun is (113.5° - your south latitude) above the northern horizon. -- If you are between the equator and 23.5° south latitude, the noon sun is (66.5° + your south latitude) above the southern horizon. -- If you are north of the equator, the noon sun is (66.5° - your north latitude) above the southern horizon. Notice that this means that anywhere north of 66.5° north latitude ... the Arctic Circle ... the sun doesn't rise at all on that day, even at noon.
At the north pole do surface winds move north or south?
Surface winds at the North Pole generally move from the south towards the north, forming the Polar Easterlies. These winds are a result of the temperature difference between the cold polar regions and the warmer mid-latitudes.
In which direction will the low pressure system most likely move?
Low pressure systems typically move in a counterclockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. The movement can be influenced by surrounding weather patterns, such as high pressure systems, jet streams, and the Earth's rotation.
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)
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
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 lines measure the distance north and south of the equator?
Lines of latitude. Longitude is from Pole to Pole.
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?
polar eaterlies
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.
Is 20 degrees Southe closer to the equator or is 10 degrees north?
The "north" and "south" latitude references begin at the equator. So "20 degrees" north or south are both 20 degrees from the equator, and "10 degrees" north or south are both 10 degrees from the equator. 10 is closer to the equator than 20.
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.
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.
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?
The latitude and longitude for 46 degrees North latitude from the Prime Meridian are approximately 46 degrees North latitude, 0 degrees longitude. Moving to 21 degrees South, 35 degrees West would take you to approximately 21 degrees South latitude, 35 degrees West longitude. Continuing to 20 degrees South, 45 degrees West would position you at approximately 20 degrees South latitude, 45 degrees West longitude. Finally, moving to 20 degrees North would bring you around 20 degrees North latitude, along the same longitude as the previous location (45 degrees West).
