Equator
The equator is a major line of latitude located at 0 degrees latitude. It divides Earth into the Northern and Southern hemispheres.
2,635 Questions
Why do places near the equator have a warmer climate?
Something to do with the sun and the earth's rotation. S'all I know.
add No, you do know of Deserts and Rainforests and Oceans. Primarily, these geographies are driven by the evaporation of water from the oceans and the presence of mountains
Above the equator the higher the number of latitude the farther you are?
Yes, that's correct. The latitude lines are measured in degrees, with the equator being at 0 degrees latitude. As you move north of the equator, the latitude values increase, indicating that you are moving farther away from the equator towards the North Pole.
What are the 3 continents that are located mainly between the equator and North Pole?
The three continents located mainly between the equator and North Pole are Europe, Asia, and North America. These continents span a wide range of latitudes and form a significant part of the Northern Hemisphere.
Name the continents that are entirely above the equator?
That would depend on which way your map is printed, and which way you hold it.
-- North America and Europe are completely north of the equator.
-- Australia and Antarctica are completely south of the equator.
-- The equator crosses each of the others.
Does the Equator pass through Norway?
No, the Equator does not pass through Norway. The Equator is an imaginary line around the middle of the Earth, dividing it into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. Norway is located in the Northern Hemisphere.
What landform is on the equator?
The equator is an imaginary line, I do not think that the equator is a landform. The equator is an imaginary line. Answer I think you mean "What landforms does the equator lie on?" The equator passes through South America and Africa.
Which is closer to the equator Sahara or Colombia?
Colombia.
Colombia lies across the equator in northern South America, from about 12° N down to 4° S latitude. Almost all of the Sahara is north of the Tropic of Cancer, from 23.5° N up to 33° N latitude in Africa.
Both the prime meridian and the equator cross which continent?
South Atlantic Ocean - close to Bight of Benin
Why is it hotter at the equator than anywhere else in the world?
Because the earth is a sphere, the light hits the equator more directly than it does other parts of the world. The light is most indirect when hitting the poles so it is coldest there. This is because on the angle the sun's rays hit the earth at the poles, the solar radiation has to go through about double the thickness of the atmosphere than it would when hitting the equator
It is not because it is closer to the sun.
Is it possible to run a 240V heater and two 120V outlets from one line of 3 wire 12 gauge romex?
It's possible. It's not right though. Run a separate wire for your 110v circuit. <><><> To follow NEC (National Electrical Code) guidelines you need two separate branch circuits: 240V and 120V.
Each circuit should have its own breakers of the correct size. Wire sizes will depend on the length and ampacity of each cable.
The outlet types required for each circuit will depend on the appliances to be served and, according to their locations, GFCIs may be necessary too. <><><>
As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

What two continents are south of the equator?
Antarctica and Australia are the only two continents entirely south of the equator.
What ocean does the equator pass through?
The equator passes through The Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans.

Is Belem and Brazil close to the equator?
Yes, Belém is a city located in Brazil and it is very close to the equator, which runs through the northern part of the country. This proximity to the equator gives the city a hot and humid tropical climate throughout the year.
Africa. The Equator, Prime Meridian, Tropic of Capricorn, and Tropic of Cancer all pass through Africa.
What point on earth is the only place from which all directions face south?
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.
Which is the only ocean through which the equater does not pass?
what is the only ocean through which the equator does not pass
Why does superior oblique tendon pass through the trochlea?
The superior oblique muscle passes through the trochlea to change the direction of its pull, allowing it to have a more efficient and effective action on the eye. This unique anatomical arrangement helps the eye move smoothly and coordinate its movements for binocular vision.
Are the greatest fish catches primarily in high northern latitudes or along the Equator?
The greatest fish catches are typically found in high northern latitudes where nutrient-rich cold waters support abundant marine life. However, some equatorial regions with strong upwelling currents can also support high levels of fish biodiversity and catches.
Do scientists use lines of latitude to describe the distance north or south of the equator?
Yes, and not only scientists. Cartographers and anyone who needs to know about locating things on the globe, or who needs to know location for navigation, communications systems, etc uses latitude and longitude.
What is the only ocean through which the equator does not pass through?
The only ocean the equator does not pass through is the Arctic Ocean.
What is the only ocean which the equator does not pass through?
The only ocean that the equator does not pass through is the Southern Ocean. The equator runs through the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, but does not cross into the Southern Ocean, which is located around Antarctica.
What are different types of map projections?
Mercator Projection : longitude and latitude as straight, parallel lines
Conic Projection : a circular map made from a flattened cone, centered on a pole or other point
Gall-Peters Projection : relocates standard parallels, narrows longitudinal spacing
Robinson Projection : approximates a true spherical view of the Earth, except the poles
Winkel Tripel Projection : an azimuth approximation of the world view, similar to Robinson
The most widely used is the Mercator projection, the major disadvantage being its area expansions (areas closer to the poles appear larger and lack their true shapes). The Gall-Peters Projection provides a closer approximation of the relative areas. All flat representations of a spherical surface will create variances in "true" size or shape.
