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 was the latitude of Pangaea?
The latitude of Pangea was hard to pinpoint because it was a supercontinent. All of the continents were together before they separated into 7 continents.
How does latitude afect climate?
Latitude affects climate because of the shape and tilt of the earth. for most of the year the tropical latitudes receive the most sunlight, and their for have a warmer over all climate. the further north or south you get of the equator the less sunlight the region receives depending on the time of year (in summer your hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, whilst in winter your hemisphere is tiled away from the sun). Because there is less sunlight in the extreme north and south of the planet the overall climate is colder the closer you get to the poles. it is easier to eplain in person so if this doesn't make sense try finding someone who does know and ask them to explain. there are some websites that give good visuals but it has been years since I learned that stuff.
Can you use the word equator in a sentence?
The equator is an imaginary line dividing the earth into northern and southern hemispheres. Here are some sentences.When you cross the equator for the first time, sailors have a special celebration for you.Countries that are near the equator are usually hot.Can you find the equator on this globe?
What is the tattoo symbol for crossing the equator?
The tattoo symbol for crossing the equator is typically a nautical star or a turtle. These tattoos are often earned by sailors or individuals who have crossed the equator on a ship for the first time.
What do lines of latitude on a map measure?
No, it measures degrees. Longitude can measure time, but not from the equator but from the prime meridian
What is latitude closely related to?
Latitude is closely related to the Earth's position north or south of the equator. It is used to measure distances in degrees between a particular location and the equator.
When it is noon at prime meridian on the equator what is the time at 55 degrees north latitude on this same meridian?
At noon at the prime meridian on the equator, the time at 55 degrees north latitude on the same meridian would be 5:40 AM. This is because every 15 degrees of longitude represents one hour of time difference, so 55 degrees north of the equator is 3 hours and 40 minutes behind the prime meridian.
What are lines of latitude and what do they measure?
The lines of latitude are the North and South lines on the globe. They measure the time changes there are in areas.
How do you convert miles to seconds?
The first thought would be that the question cannot be answered sensibly. A mile is a measure of distance, with dimensions [L]. A second is a measure of time, with dimensions [T]. The two measure different things and elementary dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information. However, in the world there are numerous measurements of distance. One measurement uses degrees of latitude and longitude, which divided up the surface of the Earth. A degree is divided up into minutes and seconds, 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in a degree. A degree of latitude is constant everywhere on the globe, being approximately 69 miles, and a minute of latitude is approximately 1.15 miles. That means that a second of latitude is approximately 0.02 miles, or just over 100 feet. A degree of longitude however varies in size approximately 69 miles at the equator. Because a degree of longitude varies as it moves away from the equator the minutes and seconds of longitude will decrease in size towards the poles.
What is the latitude of the tangent rays in the Northern Hemisphere on March 29?
On March 29, the tangent rays in the Northern Hemisphere typically reach the latitude of the equator (0° latitude). Since the equinox occurs around March 20, during this period, the Sun is directly overhead at the equator, meaning that the rays are tangent to the surface at this latitude. As you move north of the equator, the Sun's angle increases, but the tangent rays still primarily correspond to the equatorial latitude around this time.
Where can we find the equator and the prime meridian?
they are
What is latitude closely related to the greenwich climate time or the poles?
Latitude is closely related to the poles, as latitude lines are imaginary lines that measure the distance north or south of the Equator. The poles are located at latitudes 90 degrees north (North Pole) and 90 degrees south (South Pole). Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is a time system used as a reference point for time zones, which is related to the Prime Meridian but not directly to latitude.
Can be measured in second or minutes?
Time or a small angle.A:Positions on a chart - in Latitude and Longitude - degrees, minutes and seconds -hehe
How can you measure your latitude in the northen hemisphere?
I was never any good with geography, but by comparing the current time to the time of your home city, you could probably find a pretty close guess. Let's say it's ten P.M. in your home city, New York. but the place you're in says it's 3 P.M. Every time you go one longitude further east, you go back in time by one hour. so your around the tip of China
Which factor is most important in determening climate?
Determining climate is based on a lot of things, but the most important is latitude. As you increase in latitude, the colder the climate typically gets. For example, the equator (lowest latitude) is hot, while the upper regions of Earth are colder.
What place is at 0 degrees latitude?
The Prime Meridian is found at 0 degrees longitude. Additionally, this is the longitude line that goes through Greenwich, England which marks the base time zone GMT or UTC that other time zones are relative to.
