On the wall of your bedroom, measure 4-ft up from the floor and mark a tiny dot
there. Then do it again in a different place on the wall. Then do it again in a
different place on the wall. Then do it again in a different place on the wall. Then
do it again in a different place on the wall. Then do it again in a different place on
the wall. Then do it again in a different place on the wall.
After a while, when you've marked enough tiny dots at places that are all 4-ft up
from the floor, the dots will all start to blend together, and it'll start to look as if
you have a line there. The line goes left and right, but it shows all the places
that are 4-ft up from the floor.
Latitude is a measurement up or down (north or south) from the equator. If you
pick one latitude, and mark tiny dots at all the places on Earth that are located
at that same latitude north or south of the equator, you'll have a line on the globe
that runs east and west.
What else can I help you with?
How do you know the difference between longtuide and latilted?
Lines of longitude run North to South, and are called meridians. They measure degrees East or West of the Prime Meridian. Lines of latitude run East to West, and are called latitudes. They measure degrees North or South of the Equator.
Why do you think that saliors sail at different latitudes when they travel east or west?
Sailors sail at different latitudes when traveling east or west to take advantage of prevailing wind patterns and ocean currents. This can help them optimize their route for speed and efficiency, as well as avoid adverse weather conditions. Additionally, sailing at different latitudes allows sailors to navigate around obstacles such as islands or dangerous coastlines.
What is the longitude and latitude of Malawi?
latitude is the indivisible lines that run from east to west
Where does wind generally blow from east to what?
Wind generally blows from east to west in the tropics and mid-latitudes due to the Earth's rotation and the Coriolis effect. This pattern is particularly evident in the trade winds, which flow from the east in the tropics, and the westerlies, which occur in the mid-latitudes. In contrast, polar winds can blow from east to west as well. Overall, the predominant movement is from east to west in these regions.
Do Africa longitude and latitude go north and east?
There are places in Africa with north latitudes and other places with south latitudes. Similarly, there are places in Africa with east longitudes and places with west longitudes. That's because both the equator and the Prime Meridian cross Africa.
What are lines that run east-west but show location north or south?
Latitudes. Longitudes run north to south and measure east-west distance or location.
Does rain always move west to east?
No. In the mid latitudes it usually travels from west to east.
How do you know the difference between longtuide and latilted?
Lines of longitude run North to South, and are called meridians. They measure degrees East or West of the Prime Meridian. Lines of latitude run East to West, and are called latitudes. They measure degrees North or South of the Equator.
How do the lines of latitudes appear on a map?
from west to east and not from north to south
Why do most storms move from the west coast of America to the east?
The prevailing winds blow from west to east at these latitudes
What 4 latitudes experience high pressure?
the four latitudes that experience high pressure north, south, east, west\
What are the prevailing winds of the latitudes called?
The prevailing winds are different in different latitudes. In the mid-latitudes of the northern hemisphere, the prevailing winds are west to east. In the mid-latitudes of the southern hemisphere, the prevailing winds are from east to west.
Weather in the middle latitudes tends to move in what general direction?
Weather in the middle latitudes tends to move from west to east due to the westerly winds that dominate this region. This is known as the prevailing westerlies, which are responsible for the movement of weather systems across the middle latitudes.
What winds move west to east?
The prevailing westerlies are global wind belts that move from west to east between the latitudes of 30 and 60 degrees in both the northern and southern hemispheres. These winds are responsible for much of the weather patterns in the mid-latitudes.
Does latitude run east to west?
no it go west to east
Can current run east west when the flow is from west east?
no
