Question 2 1 pts Which one of the following statements about parallels is NOT true? O Parallels are lines that connect all points of the same latitude. O Parallels all have the same length. O Parallels are lines of latitude. O Parallels run east and west. O Parallels measure distance north and south of the equator.

Answer 1

Option (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The parallels are the lines of longitude that starts from 0° at the equator to 90° North and South on both the hemisphere i.e. up to the poles. It extends from the eastern to the western direction. This lines includes all the places on earth that falls on the same latitude.

This lines of latitude are not equal at all the places. At the equator, it is the longest and at the poles it is shortest. It is because the earth bulges at the equator and flattened at the poles.

Hence, the correct answer is option (2).
