Question

Which of the following is false?

a) -88 Degree longitude line is located to the west of PM
b) 1 Degree meridian is about 69 miles at the equator
c) Tropic of Capricorn goes approx. along 23.5 degree S latitude
d) Lines of latitude converge at North and South poles

Answer 1

The false statement is option a) -88 Degree longitude line is located to the west of PM.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lines of longitude are called meridians and run from pole to pole on the globe. The prime meridian, located in Greenwich, England, is the line of 0 degrees longitude. To the west of the prime meridian, the lines of longitude are numbered from 1 to 180 degrees west (W), and to the east, they are numbered from 1 to 180 degrees east (E). So, option a) is false.
