<u>Answer:</u>
The units used to measure distances between parallels and between meridians are degrees, minutes, and seconds.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- The distance between two far-away latitudes or two far-away longitudes can be broadly measured in degrees.
- In order to pinpoint any two locations lying across two different latitudes or longitudes, the distance can be tracked down to minutes and seconds.
- The distance between two closest latitudes or two closest longitudes can only be measured in minutes and seconds because they would be placed only 59 minutes and 59 seconds apart.
Both of them are the most important cities in their countries. They are capitals and cultural, demographic and industrial centres.

Answer:

1. aquifers
underground water sources

2. delta
a broad, triangular-shaped land area at the mouth of a river
That's common especially in larger rivers that meet their destination point (usually the ocean).
3. oasis
a small fertile area in the desert, usually a place where water is close to the surface (plural - oases)
We all heard about oases in the desert, where human and animals alike gather to drink.
4. rain shadow
an area that receives less precipitation because of its location on the leeward side of a mountain
That's common in high mountains region where the mountains are so high they block the passage of clouds to the other side.
