How many miles is it from the equator to Tulsa?
The I-44 overpass at S. Peoria Ave., about 1/2 mile east of the river, is 2,494 miles north of the equator.
What direction is in the equator from Mazatlan Mexico?
The equator is due south from Mazatlan. Conversely, Mazatlan is almost 2600 kilometers (1600 miles) north of the equator.
You left an important piece of information out of the question, so the location
can only be narrowed down to one of two points:
-- If it's 30 degrees north of the equator, then the point is in the Atlantic Ocean almost 1,300 miles east of Jacksonville FL, and there's no country there.
-- If it's 30 degrees south of the equator, then the point is roughly 120 miles
north-northeast of the city of Santa Fe, in the province of the same name, in
Argentina.
Which two ocean currents are both warm currents that primarily flow away from the equator?
The Gulf Stream and the Kuroshio Current are both warm ocean currents that primarily flow away from the equator. The Gulf Stream flows from the Gulf of Mexico across the North Atlantic Ocean, while the Kuroshio Current flows along the eastern coast of Japan.
What is the distance of longitude at the equator and the poles?
The equator is a line made of points at zero latitude and every longitude, and
every longitude converges (comes together) at the poles..
Why do tropical areas located near the equator have the warmest climates?
Tropical areas near the equator have the warmest climate because the sun's rays are pointed at the middle of the Earth on its axis, called the equator. The directness of the sun's rays obviously causes heat which is why the places around the Earth's equator are warm. :-)
help to distribute this energy by warming other regions of the globe.
What is one thing in common between a meridian and the equator?
They are both imaginary lines on the Earth's surface.
To say that they are both circles... an answer you might have been expecting ... would be a wholly inappropriate statement, because a meridian of longitude is only a semicircle.
Why are temperature's near the equator always the same?
cuz the people who liv close to the equator dey is hot
What do areas near the equator have?
A higher intensity of sunlight per unit area than other parts of the Earth.
If you took a trip near the equator what type of winds would you expect to find?
If you took a trip near the equator, you would expect to find the trade winds. These are steady winds that blow from the east towards the west, between the equator and 30 degrees latitude in both hemispheres. Trade winds are characterized by their consistency and are commonly experienced in tropical regions.
Is the equator 0 degrees in latitude?
Yes cause the equator and prime meridian meet at every angle there because the earth is a sphere but that doesn't mean it is 0 degrees every were in the world
Where is the pakaraima mountains north or south of the equator?
The mountains are in South America, and is north of the Equator.
What is the suns altitude at noon at the equator on june21?
It's about 66.5 degrees above the northern horizon.
What two oceans does the equator not pass through?
The equator does not pass through the Arctic Ocean and the Southern Ocean. These oceans are located at extreme latitudes where the equator does not intersect.
On a globe of the Earth, some rainy afternoon, find every point you can that's
exactly mid-way between the north and south poles, and mark each one with
a tiny pencil-dot.
When you've made enough dots, you'll begin to realize that they all line up
around the 'middle' of the Earth, crossing Africa, the Indian Ocean, the Atlantic
and Pacific Oceans, and the upper part of South America.
If you made millions and millions of these dots, each one exactly mid-way between
the poles, they'd blend together into a solid line, and that line is the Equator.
