What terms tells how far north or south of the Equator a place lies?
Latitude - indicates the position north or south relative to the equator. Longitude indicates the position east or west relative to the Greenwich meridian.
How has the position of of North America relative to the equator changed over the last 200 million years?
It has moved North of it
Why there are 180 paralles of latitude?
-- Latitude is the angle of any location relative to the equator.-- If you travel from the north pole to the south pole, you travel half-way aroundthe Earth (180 degrees), and you cover every possible position on Earth relative tothe equator.
What directions does lines of latitude show?
Lines of latitude show the east-west position of a point on Earth relative to the equator. They run parallel to the equator and indicate the angular distance north or south of the equator in degrees, with 0 degrees being the equator and a maximum of 90 degrees at the poles.
What is an location on earth relative to the equator?
The angle from the equator north or south to any point on Earthis the 'latitude' of that point.

How has the position of north America relative to the equator changed over the last 200 million years?
Over the last 200 million years, the position of North America relative to the equator has changed due to the movement of tectonic plates. North America has shifted from being closer to the equator to its current position further north. This movement is part of the ongoing process of plate tectonics shaping the Earth's geography over long periods of time.
Where is the tropic of cancer located relative to the equator?
north of it about 23 degree north of the equator.
What is latitude equivalent to?
Distance (angular) from the poles (or the equator).

What does a relative location look like?
A relative location can look like anything. It is a way of describing how to indicate a position or find a place. For instance you could say the hill 4 miles north of Bangkok. The position is given relative to Bangkok. You could also give it coordinates according to the latitude/longitude system. The position is given relative to the prime meridian and the equator.
What directions does lines of latitude show?
Lines of latitude show the east-west position of a point on Earth relative to the equator. They run parallel to the equator and indicate the angular distance north or south of the equator in degrees, with 0 degrees being the equator and a maximum of 90 degrees at the poles.
Lines of latitude describe what position?
north or south of the equator
What is an location on earth relative to the equator?
The angle from the equator north or south to any point on Earthis the 'latitude' of that point.
