east to south
west to east
west to north
east to west

It is very difficult to locate a place on the Earth without the help of longitudes and latitudes. An imaginary axis divides the Earth into Eastern and Western Hemispheres. Which other imaginary line divides the Earth into Northern and Southern hemisphere?
1 correct answer.
equator
prime meridian
tropic of cancer
0 degree longitude
The Earth is tilted at 23½°.
We see a needle fixed with the model globes with tilt which is an imaginary line which represents the Earth's tilt. What is this imaginary line known as?
prime meridian
equator
astronomy needle
axis
The lines of latitudes and longitudes are man made, we can't see them as they aren't drawn anywhere on the Earth. These were invented for our convenience to locate places and to keep up with uniform time zones. Who, was the first person to observe the longitudinal changes and invented the grid system?
John Harrison
Quirico Filopanti
Charles F. Dowd
Cloudesley Shovell
Latitude is measured in degrees from north to south. Equator is considered as 0 degree latitude. Equator is an important imaginary circular line. What are circular parallel lines that run from equator till the poles know as?
parallels of latitudes
parallels of longitude
meridians of latitude
parallels of equator
An imaginary line running on the globe divides it into two equal parts(northern and southern). The northern half of the Earth is known as the Northern Hemisphere and the southern half is known as the Southern Hemisphere. What is this imaginary line known as?
equator
rotation
axis
prime meridian
quator is an imaginary line which divides globe into two halves. All parallel circles from the Equator till the poles are called parallels of latitudes. Latitudes are measured in degrees. Which of the following is 0° latitude?
prime meridian
north pole
equator
south pole
