ANSWERs:
ANS. 1
A. ARCTIC CIRCLE 66.5 DEGREE NORTH
B.EQUATOR
C.CAPRICORN 23.5 DEGREE SOUTH
D.PRIME MERIDIAN
E.TROPIC OF CANCER 23.5 DEGREE NORTH
F.ANTARCTIC CIRCLE 66.5 DEGREE SOUTH
ANS. 2
1) This statement is true
Explanation: The shape of the Earth is like a sphere, but it is not a perfect sphere, as it is slightly flattened at the poles and has a bulge at the Equator.
2) This statement is true
Explanation: The equator is the largest circle that can be drawn on the globe. This is because the equatorial diameter of the Earth is the largest.
3) This statement is false
Explanation: The Prime Meridian is not the longest meridian on the globe. All meridians are of the same length.
ANS. 3
1. Prime Meridian b. Greenwich
2. Equator d. Great circle
3. Torrid Zone a. Hottest zone
4. Axis c. Poles
2.
A. ARCTIC CIRCLE 66.5 DEGREE NORTH
