Polar easterlies, westerlies, horse latitudes, trade winds, and the doldrums
Answer:
Lines of latitude measure north-south position between the poles. Lines of latitude are all parallel to each other, thus they are often referred to as parallels.
Lines of longitude, or meridians, run between the North and South Poles. They measure east-west position. The prime meridian is assigned the value of 0 degrees, and runs through Greenwich, England. Meridians to the west of the prime meridian are measured in degrees west and likewise those to the east of the prime meridian are measured to by their number of degrees east.
Answer:
Afghanistan's mountains have kept the country from ever being invaded.
Explanation:
Afghanistan is a country in terrible conditions, and this is not the case just nowadays but it has been like that for a very long time. Despite all of the internal troubles of the country and it seems to be very weak in pretty much every sector, it has never been invaded in the past few centuries, and very rarely in the more distant history and always it has been short-lasting.
The main reason for this has been the mountains and the general geography of the country. Very high and rugged mountains are separating the country from potential invaders. Even if an invading force manages to go through the mountains, it will suffer great losses just by doing so, and what comes next is desert and more rugged terrain, which will further damage them, so by the time they engage in battle, they will be too weak to conquer Afghanistan.
The two factors, Temperature and Pressure, have the greatest influence on the state of each of Earth's layers.
