Question

The distance between meridians is greatest A. at the poles. B. at the arctic/Antarctic circles. C. at the Tropics of Cancer/Capricorn. D. at the Equator. O E. everywhere, because they are parallel to each other. QUESTION 4 Earth's axial tilt is 23.5° measured from OA. the Plane of the Ecliptic B. a line that is perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic C. the North Pole to the Equator D. the North Pole to the South Pole E. the North Pole to the Moon QUESTION 5 Which of the following possesses all of Earth's properties of area, shape, direction, proximity, and distance, correctly? OA. Mercator projection B. Alber's equal-area conic projection OC. Robinson projection D.A world globe E. Conformal projection

Answer 1

The correct answers are:

4. B. a line that is perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic. Earth's axial tilt is measured from a line that is perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic. This tilt is responsible for the changing seasons on Earth.

5. D. A world globe. A world globe is the only representation that accurately preserves all of Earth's properties of area, shape, direction, proximity, and distance. Other map projections may distort one or more of these properties to some extent.
