<h2>ANSWER </h2>

<h2>Latitude</h2>

Lines of latitude circle the Earth in an east-west direction. They are parallel.

They are different lengths, eg:

the equator is 40,075 km long
the Antarctic circle is 17,662 km long
the South Pole is 0 km long

<h3>Important lines of latitude:</h3>

the equator (0°)
the Tropic of Cancer (23.5° north)
the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5° south)
the Arctic circle (66.5° north)
the Antarctic circle (66.5° south)
the North Pole (90° north)
the South Pole (90° south)

Latitude and longitude make up the grid system that helps us identify absolute, or exact, locations on the Earth's surface. You can use latitude and longitude to identify specific locations. Latitude and longitude are also helpful in identifying landmarks.

________________________________

Latitude plays an important role in determining the climate of a region. The Earth is spherical in shape, and the curvature increases with the latitude. The amount of solar energy and heat received from the Sun decreases as we go to higher latitudes or as we go away from the Equator toward the poles.

<h3>What is opportunity cost?</h3>

The opportunity cost of a specific activity option in microeconomic theory is the loss of value or benefit that would be experienced by engaging in that activity, as opposed to engaging in an alternative activity that offers a higher return in value or benefit.

The value of the next best alternative or option is referred to as the opportunity cost. This value may or may not be monetary. Value can also be measured using other criteria such as time or satisfaction. One formula for calculating opportunity costs may be the ratio of what you give up to what you receive.

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options provided, we can answer the following.

Kelly spent four days at a training program centered on the use of improved hygiene procedures to reduce infections in long-term care facilities. When she returned to work after the training, Kelly wanted to implement the new practices in her work unit. However, she was unable to do so because of resistance from the nursing staff and the lack of interest of the medical director. As a result, Kelly was not able to use her learning on the job. This scenario exemplifies the HR term called encapsulated development.

This Human Resources term means that an employee has the chance to get some training or continuing education program to improve its knowledge, or maybe visits another company to learn what this company does best, and when the employee returns to its own company he/she cannot apply what he learned because employees and management are so used to do what has been done in the past. They do not like to innovate and change. They live in their comfort zones.
