The task involves identifying and labeling the important lines of latitude on a globe. Here is the solution with explanations:
Important Lines of Latitude:
1.
90° N: This is the
North Pole.
2.
Arctic Circle: The Arctic Circle is located at
66.5° N.
3.
23.5° N: This is the
Tropic of Cancer.
4.
Tropic of Capricorn: The Tropic of Capricorn is located at
23.5° S.
5.
66.5° S: This is the
Antarctic Circle.
6.
South Pole: This is located at
90° S.
Filling in the Blanks:
-
Above the Arctic Circle (66.5° N):
North Pole (90° N)
-
Below the Antarctic Circle (66.5° S):
South Pole (90° S)
-
Between the Arctic Circle and the Equator:
Tropic of Cancer (23.5° N)
-
Between the Antarctic Circle and the Equator:
Tropic of Capricorn (23.5° S)
Final Answer:
```
IMPORTANT LINES OF LATITUDE
- 90° N: North Pole
- Arctic Circle: 66.5° N
- 23.5° N: Tropic of Cancer
- Tropic of Capricorn: 23.5° S
- 66.5° S: Antarctic Circle
- South Pole: 90° S
```
Explanation:
-
North Pole (90° N): The northernmost point on Earth.
-
Arctic Circle (66.5° N): Marks the boundary where the sun does not set during the summer solstice and does not rise during the winter solstice.
-
Tropic of Cancer (23.5° N): The northernmost latitude where the sun can be directly overhead (at the summer solstice).
-
Tropic of Capricorn (23.5° S): The southernmost latitude where the sun can be directly overhead (at the winter solstice).
-
Antarctic Circle (66.5° S): Similar to the Arctic Circle but in the Southern Hemisphere.
-
South Pole (90° S): The southernmost point on Earth.
This completes the labeling of the important lines of latitude.
