Which country is closer to the Equator- Tanzania or Zambia?

Tanzania is closer to the Equator compared to Zambia. The equator passes through the northern part of Tanzania, while it does not pass through Zambia.

Where do hurricanes occur on the equator?

Hurricanes do not typically occur on the equator because they require the Coriolis effect to form, which is stronger away from the equator. Hurricanes usually occur in regions at least 5 to 20 degrees away from the equator, in both the northern and southern hemispheres.

Why most tropical rain forests are located near the equator?

Tropical rainforests are mainly located near the equator. The reason is because it is hottest at the equator. It rains alot in these areas, causing more trees to go. Then, eventually, it grows into a tropical rainforest! I hope that I helped you answer you question!

The parallel of latitude that is north of the equator?

There are 2 major lines of latitude located north of the equator. The Tropic of Cancer is located at 23.5 degrees north latitude while the Arctic Circle is located at 66.5 degrees north latitude.

Is the Arctic Circle or the South Pole closer to the Equator?

what is the distance north and south of the equator:

Latitude.

If a plane flew from austrillia to Mexico would it go over the equator?


Yes. Australia is completely south of the Equator, and Mexico is completely
north of it. No matter what route you choose to travel between them, the
route must cross the Equator somewhere.

Is Bangkok north or south of the equator?

both

both

Asia is north of the equator.

Eurasia (which includes both Europe and Asia) is north of the equator, in fact it is mostly north of the Tropic Of Cancer (http://www.answers.com/Tropic+of+Cancer).

Asia stretches from the Eastern Bloc of countries, many of which recently joined the European Union, including Poland, and the Ural Mountains (to the West of Asia) across to the Pacific Ocean.

Asia includes such countries as India, China, Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, Iran, Saudia Arabia, Pakistan, Mongolia, Malaysia and The Phillippeans

Are all places along the equator very warm inculding Minnesota Iowa Illinois Michigan?

No, not all places along the equator are very warm. Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, and Michigan are located far from the equator and experience four distinct seasons with cold winters due to their northern latitudes. These states have a continental climate influenced by their distance from the equator, not warmth associated with the equator.

Below the equator the parallels are in which direction?

15 degrees north, 30 degrees north, 45 degrees north, 60 degrees north, 75 degrees north, 90 degrees north. ( The last person had put here 180 degrees north. If you look at many other info online, you will find it's actually 90 degrees north, not 180. Also, if you relate beginner geometry and the shape of angles....the equator, horizontal line, straight up to the north pole, is a 90 degree angle. hence the 90 degrees north parallel.)

What are the imaginary lines perpenticular to the equator?

The imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator are lines of longitude, also known as meridians. These lines run from the North Pole to the South Pole and help determine a location's east-west position on the Earth's surface. The prime meridian, located at 0 degrees longitude, is the starting point for measuring longitude.

The equator divides the earth?

Yes, the equator is an imaginary line that runs around the Earth halfway between the North and South Poles. It divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.

Is equator longer than longitudes?

Remember it this way....horizontal is latitude and vertical is longitude. To answer your question, latitude is the equator.

The equator is a line made up of all the points on Earth that have zero latitude.

What is the name of the imaginary line of latitude 23 and a half degrees south of the equator?

The Tropic of Cancer is at approximately 23.5° N, marking the farthest northern locations that can have the Sun directly overhead at some time of the year. Farther north, the noonday Sun will always be to the south.

The equator passes over three large oceans?

The equator passes over three large oceans: the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Indian Ocean. It is the imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.

Why is air warmer and less dense than surrounding air at the equator?

The air at the equator is warmer because it receives direct sunlight year-round, which heats it up. Warmer air is less dense than cooler air, so the warm air at the equator rises, creating a low-pressure system. This rising warm air leads to the formation of thunderstorms and rain near the equator.

What is the imaginary line halfway between the maximum and minimum points the wave reaches vertically?

The imaginary line halfway between the maximum and minimum points that a wave reaches vertically is called the equilibrium position or the rest position. It represents the average position of the wave when it is not oscillating.

Is Mesopotamia north or south of the equator?

both (mesopotamia in Iraq is north of equator, while mesopotamia in Argentina is south of equator)...

Which two continents are divided by the Equator?

South America and Africa are divided by the Equator.

What is direction of weather in the continental US?

Weather patterns in the continental US generally move from west to east due to the prevailing westerly winds. However, weather systems can also move in other directions depending on various factors such as high and low pressure systems, jet streams, and local geographic features.

What is the total number of degress north and south of the Equator?

There is 180 degrees of separation, from 90 degrees north (North Pole) to 90 degrees south (South Pole). The North and South Pole are points (the geographic ends of the Earth's axis) and are on all planes perpendicular to the equatorial plane.

Is Buenos Aires north or south of the equator?

It's about 35 degrees south of the equator.

Is hong kong china south of the equator?

No part of HongKong is less than about 1,530 miles north of the equator.
