Here are the correct answers to fill in the blanks for your Geography classwork:
1) The end points of the globe are called
poles.
2) Parallels are also called as
latitudes.
3) The
Prime Meridian passes through Greenwich.
4) Parallels neither
meet nor
intersect one another.
5) Parallels are drawn at an interval of
1 degree (or 1°).
6) There are
360 meridians on the globe.
7) There are
90 parallels in the northern hemisphere and
90 in the southern.
8) To locate a place on the globe we must know its
latitude &
longitude.
9) Meridians are also known as
longitudes.
10) The portion of the earth lying above the equator is called
Northern Hemisphere.
11) The imaginary line running from east to west around the earth is called
equator (or parallel).
12) The network of parallels & meridians on the globe is called
graticule (or grid).
13) The maximum distance between two meridians is at the
equator.
14) As we move away from the equator towards the poles the length of the parallels keeps
decreasing.
