Changes in Latitudes

Geography is the study of the earth’s physical features, like mountains, soils and waters. 2. Human Geography is the study of the way people have had an impact on the Earth’s physical features, like constructing dams or buildings. 3. Absolute location is a location on the earth that can be found by using mathematical coordinates. 4. Latitude is one of the measures used for absolute location. It is a measurement that goes from north to south. It uses degrees, minutes, and seconds to show how far a place is from the equator. 5. Longitude is the other measure used for absolute location. It measures from east to west. It uses a vertical plane running through the polar axis and begins with…

Differential heating occurs when the earth leans and rotates around the sun that heats the globe year long. Because of so many changes of solar radiation, lower latitudes have more energy than the higher latitudes from the sun. Some locations on the same line of latitude will have different weather depending on how close or far they are to the oceans. Also lakes and rivers reduce the heat temperature because of the large amount of water they hold. When the atmosphere heats up it creates…

Effect which prevents air from traveling directly to the poles and could not explain the westerly winds in the mid-latitudes (The Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica, 2007). In the 1850’s research provides greater insight to the westerlies and polar easterlies,…

The most important thing on our planet to keep all things running is the sun. It gives off rays that help the plants and trees grow which give us oxygen. Within the twenty-four hour rang we have in a day the sun splits it into two halves; Night and day. However the path of they sun is always changing and is never the same. Just like any other star it rises in the east and sets in the west. As time goes by you begin noticing the sun changes its exact paths. The sun’s path through the sky is…

only glide, but scientist say over time evolutionary traits have been passed down to the birds that can fly. The Caihong Juji Had lived in northeastern china, 160 million years ago in the late Jurassic period. Which there were also many dinosaurs that lived in this period. The Caihong Juji had lived in the rainforest. It would glided across tree with it’s feathers and look for food. It was a carnivore (meat eater) that had hunted for small mammals, and reptiles. It would also show off it’s…

1. Identify a city or area of a country within your new region: Seattle, Washington 2. Location: Describe the absolute and relative location of your city or area within your new region. Support your description with current examples in 2 to 3 sentences. Include citations for your resources using APA style guidelines as needed. Seattle is located at latitude 47.60’N, longitude 122.33’W (Worldatlas, 2015). Seattle is located on Puget Sound which connects to the Pacific Ocean (Worldatlas, 2015).…

To see the similarities and differences between wind patterns in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres alongside with explaining the major wind belts. Material: • Map of North America with longitude and latitude • Drawing compass Procedure: 1. View the map from the lab given. The map represents the barometric pressures at 5000 feet in North America on a precise day in February. 2. Use the Web to get another map of North America that covers the same approximate area shown in the map given in the…

Discussion The aim of this study was to investigate if age and gender are associated with children’s understanding of the earth’s structure. It was hypothesised that: older children will have a better scientific understanding of the structure of the earth compared to younger children, boys will have a better scientific understanding of the structure of the earth compared to girls, and younger children will construct different mental models of the earth compared to older children. The results of…

The graph above compares the optimal depth for latitudes 21.4S 32.4E, 21.4S 55.3E, and 21.4S 65.3E on the given dates. Latitude 21.4S 32.4E is located in Africa between Zimbabwe and Mozambique, Latitude 21.4S 55.3E is located on Reunion island, and Latitude 21.4S 65.3E is located in the Indian Ocean. Biomass burnings alter the optical depth in Africa, whereas volcanic activity is responsible for the variations in optical depth on Reunion Island. According to the graph, biomass burnings create a…
