Quiz 1.2 Mapping

What is a time zone?

• A geographic region where the same standard time is used

• A place where time changes every hour

• A location where the sun never sets

• A country with multiple time standards

What are maps considered to be?

• Three-dimensional models of flat objects

• Flat models of three-dimensional objects

• Two-dimensional models of two-dimensional objects

• Three-dimensional models of three-dimensional objects

What is the imaginary line located at 0 degrees latitude that circles the Earth and separates it into two equal halves?

• Prime Meridian

• Tropic of Cancer

• Equator

• Arctic Circle

What does latitude measure?

• Distance in degrees north or south of the equator

• Distance in degrees east or west of the prime meridian

• Height above sea level

• Depth below sea level

How are lines of latitude oriented in relation to the equator?

• Parallel to the equator

• Perpendicular to the equator

• Diagonal to the equator

• Circular around the poles

What is the value in degrees of each line of latitude determined by?

• The distance from the equator to the poles

• The imaginary angle between the equator, Earth's center, and the line of latitude

• The height above sea level

• The distance from the Earth's center to the surface

What is the latitude at the equator?

• 90° N

• 0°

• 90° S

• 45°

Which of the following is true about latitudes north and south of 0°?

• They are both measured from the poles

• They are both measured from the equator

• They are both measured from the prime meridian

• They are both measured from the Earth's center

How do lines of longitude extend on the globe?

• Horizontally from east to west

• Vertically from pole to pole

• Diagonally across the globe

• In a circular pattern around the equator

What is the degree value of each line of longitude determined by?

• Measuring the imaginary angle between the prime meridian, the center of Earth, and the line of longitude.

• Measuring the distance from the equator to the line of longitude.

• Measuring the angle between the equator and the line of longitude.

• Measuring the distance from the prime meridian to the equator.
