True or False: Latitude lines run parallel to each other.
True
False
Features of Latitude: These lines (a) to each other. They are located at an (b) from each other. They are also called Parallels. All Parallels form (c) . North Pole and South Pole are however shown as (d) . Equator is the (e) . The circles gradually become shorter as we move away from the equator towards the poles.
Features of Latitude: These lines run parallel to each other. They are located at an equal distance from each other. They are also called Parallels. All Parallels form a complete circle around the globe. North Pole and South Pole are however shown as points. Equator is the biggest circle. The (a) gradually become (b) as we move (c) from the (d) towards the (e) .
Numbering of the Parallels : The numbering of the parallels (a) the (b) which is (c) . Parallels are marked from (d) . Parallels are drawn at the (e) . There are 90 parallels in the Northern Hemisphere, and 90 in the Southern Hemisphere. Thus there are 181 parallels in all including the Equator convert into a quiz
Numbering of the Parallels : The numbering of the parallels starts from the (a) . Parallels are marked from 0˚ to 90˚ degrees. Parallels are drawn at the interval of 1˚. There are 90 parallels in the Northern Hemisphere, and (b) in the (c) Hemisphere. Thus there are (d) in all including the (e) convert
Where does the numbering of parallels start?
North Pole
South Pole
Tropic of Cancer
Equator

If you see a parallel marked with 'N,' in which hemisphere is it located?
Northern Hemisphere
Southern Hemisphere
Equator

What is the significance of the 'S' marking on a parallel?
It indicates the parallel is located at the South Pole.
It indicates the parallel is located in the Southern Hemisphere.
It signifies the equator.
It denotes the prime meridian.
How can you distinguish between a parallel in the Northern Hemisphere and a parallel in the Southern Hemisphere on a map?
By their color
By the thickness of the line
By the presence of a letter 'N' or 'S'
By their distance from the equator
At what interval are parallels drawn?

Latitudes tell us how far north or south from the
equator a place is.
True
False
Longitudes The (a) running from (b) on a globe or map are called (c) or meridians. (d) is the most important line of longitude. It is located at (e) (0˚). The Prime Meridian runs through Greenwich, a place near London. It is the starting point for numbering meridians.
Longitudes The semicircles running from North to South on a globe or map are called Lines of Longitudes or meridians. The Prime Meridian is the most important line of longitude. It is located at (a) (0˚). The Prime Meridian runs through (b) , a place near (c) . It is the starting point for (d) .
