I'll solve this problem by analyzing the image and answering the three true/false questions based on the information provided.
First, let me look closely at the image to understand what it's showing:
The image is an educational worksheet about latitude and longitude. It shows a globe with lines of latitude (horizontal lines) and longitude (vertical lines). The Equator is labeled as a red horizontal line around the middle of the Earth, and the Prime Meridian is labeled as a yellow vertical line running from north to south. The text explains that "Lines of latitude and longitude are imaginary lines that go around the Earth. Lines of latitude go from north to south. Lines of longitude go from east to west."
Wait, I need to be careful here. The text actually says "Lines of latitude go from north to south" which is incorrect - latitude lines run east-west, while longitude lines run north-south. Let me verify this with my knowledge.
Actually, I should correct myself. The text in the image contains an error. Lines of latitude run east-west (horizontally), while lines of longitude run north-south (vertically). This is fundamental geography.
Let me answer each question:
1. "The Equator is a line of latitude." - TRUE. The Equator is the 0° latitude line that divides the Earth into Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
2. "The Prime Meridian is a line of longitude." - TRUE. The Prime Meridian is the 0° longitude line that divides the Earth into Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
3. "Lines of latitude go from north to south." - FALSE. Lines of latitude actually run east to west (horizontally), while lines of longitude run north to south (vertically).
So the correct answers are:
1. True
2. True
3. False
This matches with the visual representation in the image where the Equator is shown as a horizontal line (latitude) and the Prime Meridian as a vertical line (longitude).
