1. Latitudes and longitudes form a network of _______ lines which allow us to locate any place on the earth's surface.
Answer: imaginary
The network of imaginary lines formed by the latitudes and longitudes (that are perpendicular or orthogonal to each other) is called a grid.
2. The equator divides the earth into two equal halves called the northern and southern _______.
Answer:
3. The earth's _______ is an imaginary line that connects the north and south poles and passes through the center of the earth.
Answer:
4. The _______ is at a latitude of 0o.
Answer:
5. There are 180 parallels of latitude and _______ meridians of longitude.
Answer: 360
Longitudes are measured in degrees from 0o to 180o, east or west of the Prime Meridian. The two important lines of longitude are the Prime Meridian (0o) and the International Date Line (180o.
6. Latitudes are imaginary circles _______ to the equator in each hemisphere of the earth.
Answer:
7. The Tropic of _______ is at a latitude of 23 degrees 28 minutes north of the equator.
Answer:
8. The Tropic of _______ is at a latitude of 23 degrees 27 minutes south of the equator.
Answer:
9. The special latitude at 66 1/2o N is called the _______ Circle.
Answer:
10. The special latitude at 66 1/2o S is called the _______ Circle.
Answer:
11. Longitudes are imaginary semi-circles that meet at the two _______.
Answer:
12. Latitudes are _______ of different sizes, whereas longitudes are semi-circles of equal size.
Answer:
13. _______ is an inhabited continent that is entirely south of the equator.
Answer:

Answer:
15. Each degree of longitude corresponds to a time difference of _______ minutes.
Answer:
16. The longitude of 0o is called the _______ Meridian.
Parallels of latitude are imaginary lines that run east-west and are measured in degrees from 0o to 90o, north or south of the equator. Meridians of longitude are imaginary lines that run north-south between the two poles and are measured in degrees from 0o to 180o, east or west of the Prime Meridian.

2. The equator divides the earth into two equal halves called the northern and southern _______.
Answer: hemispheres
The seasons are opposite in the two hemispheres. Thus, when the northern hemisphere has winter, the southern hemisphere experiences summer and vice versa.
3. The earth's _______ is an imaginary line that connects the north and south poles and passes through the center of the earth.
Answer: axis
The earth's axis is at an inclination of 23 1/2o to the vertical.
