Why do you think geographers divide the earth into hemispheres?
There has been a tremendous historical significance to the hemispheres. The eastern hemisphere is the Old World from whence came the European colonists to the western hemisphere or New World (even the aboriginal people also came to the western hemisphere from the eastern hemisphere, they just did it some 30,000 years earlier than the Europeans). The vast Altantic and Pacific oceans make a natural geographic division of the world into east and west hemispheres, since north and south America are set apart by the oceans. The other hemispheric division of the world into north and south hemispheres also serves a purpose, since seasons are experienced differently depending upon whether you are in the north or the south hemisphere. Winter in the north hemisphere is summer in the south hemisphere, and summer in the north is winter in the south, so this is a meaningful distinction.
Why is el Salvador in the southern hemisphere?
El Salvador is in the southern hemisphere because it is south of the equator. That is how the northern and southern hemispheres are set. Any place north of the equator is in the northern hemisphere. Any place south of the equator is in the southern hemisphere.
What is one of the main reasons you divide the world into the Eastern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere rather than into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere?
Both differentiations are often made, but the world is sometimes arbitrarily divided between the Eastern and Western hemispheres as a mark between the "New World" (the Americas, perceived as a vast new land to colonize and expand into by European and a few Asian kingdoms) and the "Old World." This is also where we get the geographic regional names "Middle East" and "Far East." The dividing line is the Prime Meridian, or zero degrees longitude, which runs through Greenich, England; most (but not all) of Europe and Africa lies to the east of this line. The "far boundary" is at 180 degrees longitude, roughly where the International Date Line is. Extreme eastern Russia does cross 180 degrees longitude and is technically in the Western Hemisphere, though the International Date Line was drawn in the Bering Straight between Asia and North America (and Russia and the United States) to keep it on the same day with the majority of Asia. Crossing the International Date Line boundary, going eastward, one must set one's calendar back by a day.
What is the imaginary line around which the earth spins?
There are many imaginary lines circling the Earth. The Equator is one of them that circles the Earth round the middle, the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn are further north and south and the Arctic and Antarctic circles further north and south again.yea
What is an escarpment and what plain is set apart of the western region?
An escarpment is a steep slope or long cliff that separates two level surfaces of differing elevations. The Great Plains are part of the western region that is set apart by the Rocky Mountains escarpment, which marks the transition from the Rocky Mountains to the flat plains.
Is Miami and Paris in the same hemisphere?
That depends on which set of hemispheres you are talking about. Both Paris, France, and Miami, Florida are north of the Equator, putting both in the Northern Hemisphere. However, a much more artificial set of hemispheres is "East" and "West" defined by the Prime Meridian. As this is a throwback to British Imperialism that line is drawn to make England the center of the world, with the New World to the west, and most of France, including Paris, to the east. So, long story short, both are in the Northern Hemisphere, however Miami is in the Western Hemisphere while Paris is in the East Hemisphere.
What is the name given to a set of coordinates?
The name given to a set of coordinates is "coordinate system".
How many degrees of longitude are there in one hemisphere?
The northern and southern Hemispheres each comprise 90 degrees of latitude. On your map or globe, you're free to draw as few or as many lines as you'd like to see in that range. There is no standard set of 'lines'.
What is latitude 40 degrees north and longitude 143 degrees west?
It's a set of geographic coordinates. These coordinates describe a point in the Pacific Ocean, almost exactly 1,000 miles due west of Shelter Cove, on the northern coast of California.
A set of ordered pairs?
Coordinates
What two parts should be included in every set of coordinates?
the X and Y coordinates
The set of all x-coordinates of a relation is called?
The set of all the x-coordinate is called The Range. * * * * * Though more often, the x-coordinates are called the DOMAIN (and the y-coordinates are the RANGE).
What is the relation of a set of y-coordinates?
the range
How do you set the coordinates to the hyperium in aqw?
525,275
What is meant by Piecewise linear interpolation?
Interpolation in general is a way to determine intermediate values from a set of coordinates. Linear interpolation would be to fit a single linear function to the entire set of coordinates. Piecewise linear interpolation would then be to determine intermediate values from the set of coordinates by fitting linear functions between each set of coordinates. Connect-the-dots so to speak.
Which set of polar coordinates describes the same location as the rectangular coordinates (1,-1)?
(sqrt2, 315)
Which set of rectangular coordinates describes the same location as the polar coordinates (3sqrt2,5pi/4)?
(-3,-3)
