What is the starting point for measuring latitude?
Equator
Prime Meridian
Tropic of Cancer
North Pole
Which latitude line divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres?
Tropic of Capricorn
Arctic Circle
Equator
Prime Meridian
What is the significance of the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn?
They define the tropical zone with the most sunlight.
They are the only latitudes that can be seen from space.
They mark the boundaries of the temperate zones.
They indicate the start of the polar zones.
How are longitudes different from latitudes?
Longitudes divide the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
Longitudes measure distances in the East-West direction.
Longitudes are measured from the North Pole to the South Pole.
Longitudes are parallel to the Equator.
What is the Prime Meridian?
The longest longitude line
The line that divides the Earth into Eastern and Western Hemispheres
A line that runs parallel to the Equator
The only longitude line without numerical value
How does longitude affect time zones?
Every 15 degrees of longitude equates to a one-hour difference in time.
Each degree of longitude corresponds to a four-minute difference in time.
Longitude lines are used to calculate the date change.
Each degree of longitude represents a change of one hour.
If it's 12:00 noon at Greenwich, what time is it at 15 degrees East longitude?
12:60 PM
1:00 PM
12:00 AM
12:15 PM
How do you find a place using its latitude and longitude coordinates?
By using the coordinates to calculate the time difference from Greenwich
By calculating the difference between the coordinates and the Equator
By locating the intersection point of the two coordinates on a map
By measuring the distance from the Equator and Prime Meridian
