Step-by-step solution for: Daily Geography Practice 5 Workbook - Kolbe Academy Bookstore
Let's solve each question step by step based on general geographical knowledge. Since the image shows a worksheet titled "A Robinson Projection Map," we are to use world map knowledge and understanding of latitude/longitude.

1. Is Central America on the same latitude as Africa, Australia, or South America?
- Answer: Central America is on the same latitude as South America.
- Explanation: Central America lies roughly between 10°N and 20°N latitude. South America extends from about 12°N to 56°S, so it includes similar latitudes in its northern part (e.g., countries like Ecuador, Colombia). Africa spans from about 35°N to 35°S, so parts of northern Africa are at similar latitudes. However, the closest match in terms of geographic alignment and proximity in latitude is South America, especially the northern regions.
But note: *Central America is not on the same latitude as most of Africa or Australia*, which are much farther south. So the best answer is South America.
✔ Final Answer: South America

2. Which continent includes the coordinates of 30°S latitude, 135°E longitude?
- Step-by-step analysis:
- Latitude: 30°S → Southern Hemisphere, about halfway between the equator and the South Pole.
- Longitude: 135°E → Eastern Hemisphere, near the eastern coast of Australia.
- Looking at a world map:
- At 30°S and 135°E, you're located in Australia.
- This point is in the central-western part of Australia (near the state of Western Australia).
✔ Final Answer: Australia

1. Which U.S. state has an address of 70°N latitude, 150°W longitude?
- Analysis:
- 70°N is very far north — well above the Arctic Circle.
- The northernmost U.S. state is Alaska.
- Alaska extends up to about 71°N in some areas (e.g., Point Barrow).
- 150°W is within Alaska’s longitudinal range (Alaska spans roughly 141°W to 172°W).
- Therefore, this coordinate (70°N, 150°W) falls within Alaska.
✔ Final Answer: Alaska

2. Which of the five oceans is closest to 90°N latitude, and which one is closest to 90°S latitude?
- 90°N = North Pole
- The ocean surrounding the North Pole is the Arctic Ocean.
- 90°S = South Pole
- The ocean surrounding the South Pole is the Southern Ocean.
- Note: The Southern Ocean is defined as the waters surrounding Antarctica, from 60°S to the South Pole.
✔ Final Answer:
- Closest to 90°N: Arctic Ocean
- Closest to 90°S: Southern Ocean

On the bottom of the map, write a sentence telling why a globe is more accurate than a flat projection map.
- Answer:
> A globe is more accurate than a flat projection map because it maintains the true shape, size, distance, and direction of landmasses and bodies of water since it represents Earth as a three-dimensional sphere, unlike flat maps that must distort these features when projecting onto a two-dimensional surface.
✔ Example Sentence (to write on the map):
> A globe is more accurate than a flat map because it shows the Earth's true shape and distances without distortion.

Thursday
1. South America
2. Australia
Friday
1. Alaska
2. Arctic Ocean (90°N), Southern Ocean (90°S)
Challenge
> A globe is more accurate than a flat projection map because it preserves the true shapes and sizes of continents and oceans, while flat maps distort them due to the challenge of representing a spherical Earth on a flat surface.
