Equator

• The numbering system used to indicate the location of meridians drawn on a globe and measuring distance east and west of the prime-meridian (0 degrees).

• An imaginary line drawn around the earth equally distant from both poles, dividing the earth into northern and southern hemispheres and constituting the parallel of latitude 0 (degrees)

• A geographic approach that emphasises human-environment relationships

• The numbering system used to indicate the location of parallels drawn on a globe and measuring distance north and south of the equator (0 degrees)
