Pre-Columbian North and South America were home to diverse and advanced civilizations, each with distinct cultures, languages, and social structures. In North America, Indigenous peoples developed complex societies, such as the Mississippian culture and the Iroquois Confederacy, while in South America, the Incas and their extensive road systems and agricultural innovations were prominent. Both regions had rich traditions in art, spirituality, and trade networks, underscoring the sophistication of their societies long before European contact. Despite their differences, both regions shared a deep connection to the land and a reliance on Natural Resources.
True. Latitude measures the distance north or south of the Equator, expressed in degrees. The Equator is designated as 0 degrees latitude, with lines of latitude extending north to 90 degrees N and south to 90 degrees S.
It doesn't.But let's start with a little background. 'True North' and 'True South' are fixed locations that coincide with the earth's axis of rotation. The earth's magnetic field exists between 'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South', so-called to distinguish these locations from 'True North' and 'True South'. The locations of 'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' are always moving relative to the positions of 'True North' and 'True South'.It's important to understand that 'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' are locations, and not the magnetic polarities of these locations!The ends of a compass needle are named after the directions in which they point. Originally, they were called the 'north-seeking pole' and the 'south-seeking pole' respectively, because those are the directions in which they roughly pointed. Actually, they point to Magnetic North and Magnetic South, not True North or True South. By convention, these names (these days, shortened to 'north' and 'south') also define the magnetic polarities of the compass needle.Because 'opposite poles attract', the magnetic polarity of Magnetic North must be a south pole in order to attract the north pole of a compass needle. And, of course, the magnetic polarity of Magnetic South must be a north pole in order to attract the south pole of a compass needle.
True
The Pacific Ocean is on the north and south of the equator. This is true of the Atlantic Ocean as well.
They had complex societies.
True North and True South are located at opposite ends of the earth's axis of rotation.
A compass indicates magnetic north and magnetic south, not true north and true south. Magnetic north is the direction a compass needle points, aligning with the Earth's magnetic field, which is influenced by various geological and environmental factors. True north, on the other hand, refers to the direction along the Earth's surface towards the North Pole. To find true north, adjustments must be made to account for magnetic declination, the angle difference between magnetic north and true north.
True
True. Latitude measures the distance north or south of the Equator, expressed in degrees. The Equator is designated as 0 degrees latitude, with lines of latitude extending north to 90 degrees N and south to 90 degrees S.
There are three... The Andes - South America The Rockies - North America The Remarkables - New Zealand (South Island)

False; the North had far more soldiers than the South.
true
True
False. A northerly wind comes from the north and moves towards the south.
no, there were more in the north than the south
The Pacific Ocean is on the north and south of the equator. This is true of the Atlantic Ocean as well.
