What is each degree of latitude divided into?
Each degree of latitude is divided into 60 minutes, and each minute is further divided into 60 seconds.
Which states are on or above the 60 degree N line of latitude?
Most but not all of Alaska is north of 60° N. No other state in the US has any territory at those latitudes.
What is the geographic definition of minutes?
Minutes refer to units of geographical measurement used in latitude and longitude coordinates. One degree of latitude is divided into 60 minutes, with each minute representing 1/60th of a degree. Minutes are further divided into seconds for more precise geographical location determination.
What continent is at 60 degree north and 120 degree west?
North America is at 60 degrees north and 120 degrees west.
What latitude zone is taiga found in?
The taiga is located between 50 and 60 degree north latitude.
What degree of latitude consists of 60 equal parts?
One degree of latitude is divided into 60 minutes. Each minute is further divided into 60 seconds.
Each degree is divided into how many parts in the earth?
Each degree of latitude and longitude on Earth is divided into 60 minutes, and each minute is further divided into 60 seconds. This means that there are a total of 3600 seconds in one degree.

How many me equal 1degree?
One degree is equal to 60 minutes. In terms of angles, this means that each degree can be divided into 60 equal parts, where each part is called a minute of arc. If you are referring to temperature, then 1 degree Celsius is equivalent to 1 degree on the Celsius scale, and 1 degree Fahrenheit is equivalent to 1 degree on the Fahrenheit scale.
Each degree of latitude or longitude is divided into 60 smaller units called?
Minutes & seconds
How does 1 degree equals to how many minutes and seconds?
A degree is traditionally divided into 60 parts called "minutes", each minute is divided into 60 parts called "seconds". To distinguish from the time units, which are of course unrelated, you can also call those divisions arc-minutes, and arc-seconds. It is, however, also quite common to just specificy fractions of a degree in decimals, as in, the Earth's axis is tilted about 23.5 degrees. And we can also say this in Mathematical terms that: 1 degree=60 minutes We also know that : 1 minute=60 seconds it means: 1 degree = (60*60)=3600 seconds It means that minutes are the smaller unit for measurements of angle in "D.M.S system" than the degree and seconds are definitely even smaller than minutes. D.M.S system = Degree, minutes and seconds system
What is each degree of latitude divided into?
Each degree of latitude is divided into 60 minutes, and each minute is further divided into 60 seconds.
How many seconds in 1degree?
Just like an hour, a degree is also divided into 60 minutes, each of which is divided into 60 seconds - so, one degree has 3600 seconds. Often called "arc-seconds", to avoid confusion.
Is each degree of latitude divided into 360 minutes?
A "line" of latitude is a circle that goes all the way around the earth, parallel to the equator. The "line" is made up of all the points on Earth that have the same latitude, and any latitude you name makes a different "line". The"line" is not divided up into any parts. Latitude is an angle. Latitudes are described in units of angles, usually degrees and parts of a degree. There are 60 minutes in one degree of angle, and 60 seconds in one minute of angle.
