Distances and Travel Times

Latitude lines run horizontally east and west at different distances from the equator and are called parallels, probably because they circle the earth at a constant distance from each other. We sometimes refer to certain areas by latitude as parallels. For example, A military boundary between North Korea and South Korea was set at the 38th parallel. Most of the boundary between the United States and (British) Canada was set at the 49th parallel.

longitude lines run north-south and are furthest from each other at the equator and come togegther at the poles.

ANSWER: "Preloaded GPS" often refers to the memory of a GPS device (either built in flash memory or a removable memory card) having maps for a given country or region. For example a North American preloaded GPS device likely has maps for Canada, USA and Mexico. It is up to the company creating the GPS device ultimately, and do a bit of research for a GPS device's choice of maps before deciding on a unit. A GPS web forum or the manufacturer's website would be excellent resources to help ensure you get what you are looking for out of your GPS purchase.

The earth is divided into 360 degrees longitude.

48 x 5 = 240, 48 x 2.5 = 120 so 360 miles.

You can find it on a legend. The legend might be found somewhere on the map or outside of it.

The duration of the journey to Venezuela can vary depending on the starting location and mode of transport. For example, a flight from Miami to Caracas typically takes around 4-5 hours. However, travel times can be longer if traveling from other regions or using alternative transportation methods.

35 degrees north latitude, 85 degrees west latitude

The Atlantic Ocean is on the east coast of the United States.

The coastline of the Northern Territory has a mainland length of 5437 km, and an additional island coastline length of 5516 km. The total is 10 953 km.

The Nusantao Theory suggests that a maritime-based culture connected populations across the ancient Austronesian world. It highlights the importance of trade, seafaring, and cultural exchange in shaping this region's history. While it's a compelling theory, there's ongoing debate among scholars about its validity and scope.

The distance between Toronto and the North Pole is approximately 3,700 kilometers in a straight line. This distance can vary depending on the route taken and mode of transportation used to travel between the two points.

The train journey from Florence to Venice takes approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes.

One way is to calculate the geometric center of the locations by finding the average latitude and longitude. Another option is to use a tool or software that specializes in finding the optimal central location based on factors like distance, time, and transportation options from each location. You can also consider factors such as accessibility, amenities, and convenience for all participants when determining the most central meeting location.

The time difference of PST from UTC varies between -7 hours in the summer and, during Daylight Saving Time in the winter, -8 hours.

The circumference of the earth is very nearly equal to 40,000 km. In the meridional direction ie north-south it is almost exact, so the distance from equator to pole (north or south) is 10,000 km. In fact that is the definition that was adopted for the meter originally, though now we have a standard meter which is very slightly different to 1/10000 of the equator to pole distance.

For your purpose take it as 10,000 km. Then in terms of latitude, this is divided into 90 degrees each degree having 60 minutes, each minute having 60 seconds. So the total number of seconds of latitude is 90 x 60 x60 = 324,000. so 1 second of latitude will be 10,000/324,000 km, or 10/324 km. Putting this into meters we get 10,000/324 meters,

which comes to 30.86 meters.

So 1 second of latitude = 30.86 meters, or in feet = 101.2 ft.

American adventure Steve Fossett set off from Kennedy Space Center on Febuary 8, 2006, onboard the virgin Atlantic Global Flyer. He Flew 26,389.3 miles and landed 76 hr. 45 min. Steve Fossett flew 26,389.3 miles and landed 76 hr. 45 min later.

At present (2013), the latitude of the Tropic of Cancer is 23 degrees 26 minutes north.

The distance between Honolulu, Hawaii and Guam is approximately 3,800 miles (6,115 kilometers) when measured in a straight line. However, the actual flying distance can vary slightly depending on the specific flight path taken.

The distance from Melbourne, Australia to New Zealand is approximately 2,167 kilometers (1,346 miles) across the Tasman Sea. This distance can vary depending on the specific locations in both countries. Traveling by air is the most common and fastest way to get between the two destinations.

Lines of longitude meet at the poles, both North and South. At the North Pole, all lines of longitude converge and meet at a single point. The same holds true for the South Pole, where lines of longitude also converge and meet at a single point.

change in elevation: Distance

So if the highest is 300m and the lowest is 100m then the change will be 200m. Pretend the distance between the two places is 1km but you have to make the units the same and kilometer does not equal meters so you have to convert km to m. Since 1000m=1km then 1km is 1000m and that will be the distance so 200m:1000m is 1:5

remember that there is no units for gradient. So the the answer is 1:5 or 0.2 or 20%

Hope that helped!

The North Pole - because whatever direction you walk in away from it you will always be heading south. The North Magnetic Pole that is.

Geographic North Pole is the correct answer. The magnetic pole is actually not in alignment with the geographic one.

No, a tundra is a biome or ecosystem. It is generally defined by low temperatures and a short growing season which hinders tree growth. Most tall mountains have a "tree line" which separates the alpine forest biome below it from the alpine tundra biome above it; the mountain is the landform. Plains are the characteristic landforms of Arctic tundra, just as mountains are the landforms of the alpine tundras.
