1. Right ascension and also declination is just like longitude and latitude because they are all used for specific location purposes. As people on the ground use longitude and latitude to find things on earth‚ scientists and astronomers use right ascension and declination to find things in the sky. 2. The North Pole is north 90 degrees latitude and the South Pole is south 90 degrees latitude. There is no longitude for either the south or North Pole because neither one can be given a value.

Humans have tried to predict the weather for millions of years. Our ancestors monitored changes in their environment along with the behaviour of animals to help them predict the weather. Through development of our understanding‚ of the atmospheric patterns and the relationship to weather dynamics‚ today it is much easier to forecast a more accurate weather prediction. To better understand the mechanisms which control our weather and climate‚ we have to look at the Earth’s atmosphere. In particular

The Americas and Oceania both had settlements that were south of the equator or very close to the equator. By the equator‚ the climate was very hot‚ the air was wet and heavy‚ and it liked to rain a lot‚ which was hard for many crops to grow. These settlements relied mainly on hunting and gathering to keep their communities fed. Once the food source

They love in both warm and cold climates‚ but only in waters south of the equator. Penguins spend most of their lives in the oceans. They live on the land only when laying their eggs and raising their young. Penguins are sociable animals and live and play together. They nest in colonies called rookeries. Some of these rookeries

Parallels are the lines that connect this points running east and west and divide up the earth into equal parts. These lines help show the different climate regions of the earth. The further away from the equator you get‚ north and south‚ the colder the climate. Longitude is the angular distance of a point on the earth that is east or west

Ecuador is a beautiful‚ breath taking country. In Spanish Ecuador means equator because it lays right on the equator. Its landscape is quite amazing‚ and layout is unique. They combine provinces and parishes to keep things organize. Each province has its own capital with the humming of many people.

On the equator winds may blow either counter clockwise or clockwise due to the weak Coriolis Effect in this region. The Coriolis Effect is at its maximum at the poles and zero at the equator. 3.)
