The answer is (3). There is a small area of South America that is north of the Equator, the major part is south of the Equator.
3. Both North and South of the equator
Water
Which lake does the equator pass through Lake Victoria Lake Malawi or Lake Chad?
The lake That the Equator passes through is Lake Victoria
What is the imaginary horizontal lines that go the same way as the equator?
The set of imaginary lines that are all parallel to the equator are the parallels of
latitude. Whether they're horizontal or not depends on how you hold your map.
The Southern Hemisphere
What caused the global convection current between the equator and the poles?
Surface currents are caused by wind, and affected by the rotation of the Earth and the gravity of the moon (tides). When the oceans are deep, convection within the layers can also affect the flow of currents.
* While wind currents are greatly affected by uneven heating of the Earth's surface, there is no corresponding heating of the ocean bottom by the Sun. So currents do not form spontaneously at depth.
Why do places in tropical latitudes close to the equator have hot weather year-round?
They get the most direct rays from the sun.
When Line of latitude run in a north south direction but are measured in what degrees?
No line of latitude is a north/south line. A move
to the north or south is a change of latitude.
Why do we have rainforests at the equator and deserts at 30 degree N. and S. Latitude?
I think the answer is because the rain forest is at the equator and not so hot is because the earth is tilled and the tall trees are being poured down because the convection current.
Why are there two periods of maximum solar radiation at the equator?
Because over a long period of time, the sun appears to wiggle back and forth, north and south, between the Tropic of Cancer (23 degrees north latitude) and the Tropic of Capricorn (23 degrees south latitude), making a complete wiggle in one year. In the course of that process, it crosses the equator twice, and when it does, the equator experiences maximum solar radiation. Actually, when you think about it, EVERY spot on Earth that's anywhere between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn receives two peaks of solar radiation during a year.
What parallel line divides the earth into two equal parts?
A line drawn anywhere around earth creates a hemisphere. There are 4 hemispheres.
Where is the meteorological equator located?
The meteorological equator is located slightly north of the geographic equator, typically around 5 degrees north. This region is characterized by consistent warm temperatures and abundant rainfall, influencing global weather patterns and the formation of tropical weather systems like hurricanes and typhoons.
How much more direct sunlight does the polar region receive than the equator?
The polar regions never receive any direct sunlight.
Does the equator run through north America south America or central America?
Yes. It crosses South America.
The equater is real. It is the set of points on the earth, making up a circle, that represet the 0th line of latitude, i.e. that is 90 degrees away from the north and south poles.
How are the prime meridian and the equator different?
The Equator runs east-west and the prime meridian runs north-south.
How many degrees above the equator is England?
Just like the equator, England is right down on the Earth's surface.
It's north latitude ranges from roughly 49.97° to 55.81°. It could
appear either above or below the equator, depending on how you
hold your map, and where the map was printed.
