Which of the following latitudes is a great circle?

A
Equator

B
$$66^o$$N

C
$$20^o$$S

D
$$23^o$$S

Solution

The correct answer is A.
Question 4

If the locations of two places on the map are 60$$^o$$N 90$$^o$$E and 40$$^o$$S 90$$^o$$E, what is the direct distance in kilometers between these places?

A
11100

B
10000

C
11000

D
11200

A
$$0^0-23^0N$$

B
$$0^0-23^0S$$

C
$$0^0-90^0N$$

D
$$0^0-90^0S$$

Solution

Lines of latitude start at 0 degrees at the Equator and ends at 90 degrees at the North and South Poles. Everything north of the Equator is known as the Northern Hemisphere and can be denoted as $$0^{\circ} - 90^{\circ} N$$.

The correct option is C.
Question 8
1 / -0

A
$${23}^o$$

B
$${32\frac{1}{2}}^o$$

C
$${23\frac{1}{2}}^o$$
