All the parallel circles from the equator to the poles are called parallels of latitudes.
Meridians of Longitudes:
All the semi-circles which join north pole to south pole are termed as meridians of longitudes.
(f) Torrid Zone receives the maximum amount of heat because of the following reasons:

• The Sun shines perpendicular between Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn throughout the year.
• Perpendicular sun rays give more heat than slanting sun rays.

### Globe Latitudes and Longitudes Class 6 Geography Chapter 2 Very Short Answer Type Questions

1. What is the globe?
Answer: Globe is a true model of the earth. It shows the earth in a small form.

2. What are the advantages of the globe? [V. Imp.]
Answer: The globe is small in shape, is convenient to carry and use, and depicts all features of the earth.

3. What are the two types of lines needed to locate any point on the earth’s surface? [V. Imp.]
Answer: Latitudes and longitudes are required to locate any point on the earth’s surface.

4. Define latitude.
Answer: One of the imaginary circles parallel to the Equator is called latitude.

5. Define longitude.
Answer: One of the imaginary circles parallel to the Prime Meridian is called longitude.

6. Which place is used as a standard for a time all over the world?

Answer: The equator lies in the Torrid Zone.

### Class 6 Geography Chapter 2 NCERT Solutions Short Answer Type Questions

1. A cricket match begins at 10.30 am on January 10 in New Zealand (time zone of +12). TeU. the time in Greenwich when it is shown live on TV there.
Answer: New Zealand lies in time zone +12, Le. it is 12 hours ahead of Greenwich, or Greenwich is 12 hours behind New Zealand. So when it is 10.30 am on January 10 in New Zealand, it is 10.30 pm on January 9. So the cricket match will be telecast from 10.30 pm on Jan 9 in Greenwich.

2. Why do we have the concept of time zone? [V. Imp.]
Answer:The sun does not shine with the same intensity over all parts of the world at a particular time. If it is overhead at one place (midday), then it does not shine at all (midnight) at the place directly opposite to that place on the earth. So if we have the same time, then 12 noon will mean midday at one place, and midnight at another. To avoid such an awkward system, we have the system of time zones, so that everywhere a particular time means the same stage of the day.

3. Write a short note on Heat Zones. [Imp.]
Answer: Heat zones are the different zones of the earth, where the sun’s rays fall differently, thus causing different climate patterns. These zones are called the Torrid Zone, the two Temperate Zones, and the two Frigid Zones. The Torrid Zone is very hot since the sun shines overhead here. The Temperate Zones maintain a moderate climate, and the Frigid Zones are extremely cold.

5.How do latitudes and longitudes help in locating a point? Why is only one of theminsufficient in doing this?[V. Imp.]
Answer: Latitudes and longitudes form a grid. Two different points may lie on the same latitude or the same longitude. But there exists only one point where latitude and longitude intersect. So a point can be identified with the help of the latitude and longitude on which it lies.

Null Island is the point on the Earth's surface at zero degrees latitude and zero degrees longitude ( 0°N 0°E), i.e., where the prime meridian and the equator intersect. Null Island is located in international waters in the Atlantic Ocean, roughly 600 km off the coast of West Africa, in the Gulf of Guinea.

### Is the equator 0 longitude? ›

What is this? If you look at the intersection of 0 degrees latitude (known as the Equator) and 0 degrees longitude (known as the Prime Meridian) on a map, you will see that the confluence falls in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, in the Gulf of Guinea off the coast of western Africa.

Longitude measures the distance between the west to earth from the prime meridian. Both longitude and latitude help us measure both the location and time using a single standard. The lines of longitude and latitude help us in measuring the distance from the Earth's Equator.

### How does longitude calculate time? ›

The time difference between each longitude (each degree) is 4 minutes. So if it is 12 noon at Greenwich (0 degree), it would be 12:04 pm at 1 degree meridian and so on. In India, the standard meridian is 82-and-half degree.

Latitude is the measurement of distance north or south of the Equator. It is measured with 180 imaginary lines that form circles around Earth east-west, parallel to the Equator. These lines are known as parallels. A circle of latitude is an imaginary ring linking all points sharing a parallel.

### Is the equator 0 longitude? ›

What is this? If you look at the intersection of 0 degrees latitude (known as the Equator) and 0 degrees longitude (known as the Prime Meridian) on a map, you will see that the confluence falls in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, in the Gulf of Guinea off the coast of western Africa.

### What are the lines of latitude called? ›

Lines of latitude, also called parallels, are imaginary lines that divide the Earth. They run east to west, but measure your distance north or south. The equator is the most well known parallel. At 0 degrees latitude, it equally divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern hemispheres.

### What is longitude with diagram? ›

A longitude is an angle from the prime merdian, measured to the east (longitudes to the west are negative). Latitudes measure an angle up from the equator (latitudes to the south are negative). Figure 1. With an angle of longitude and an angle of latitude, we can locate any point on the surface of the earth.

### Where is angle 6 latitudes formed? ›

A geographic coordinate that describes the north-south position of a place on the Earth's surface is known as latitude. The term "latitude" refers to an angle that spans from 0° at the Equator to 90° (North or South) at the poles.

### Why latitude is called the angular distance? ›

The latitude denotes a geographical coordinate of a place located on the surface of the earth and is the angular distance of that point (north or south of the equator) measured with respect to the Centre of the Earth. Its value is zero at equator and 90 degrees at poles. Was this answer helpful?

### Which parallel are not a circle? ›

The North and South Poles are not circles; they are points.

### Where is 180 degrees longitude? ›

The international date line, established in 1884, passes through the mid-Pacific Ocean and roughly follows a 180 degrees longitude north-south line on the Earth. It is located halfway around the world from the prime meridian — the 0 degrees longitude line in Greenwich, England.

### Why do we have 360 longitude and only 180 latitude? ›

The South Pole and the North Pole have separated by 180° apart, The longitude lines cross from the North Pole to the South Pole. While persisting on the North Pole, you can ideally recognize the whole circle of the globe. This is why it begins at zero and finishes at 360 longitudes.

### Why there are 181 latitudes and 360 longitudes? ›

The longitude lines passes from North Pole to South Pole. While standing on the North Pole, you can perfectly see the complete circle of the earth. This is why it starts from zero and ends at 360 longitude. Latitude lines are the distance of particular place from the equator.

• Tropic of Cancer (Latitude 23.5oN)
• Tropic of Capricorn (Latitude 23.5oS)
• Arctic Circle (Latitude 66.5oN).
• Antarctic Circle (Latitude 66.5oS).

### What is important longitude? ›

The two main longitudes are the Prime Meridian and the 180° meridian. The two longitudes divide the earth into two equal halves, the Eastern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere. Therefore, the longitude of a place is followed by the letter E for the east and W for the west.
