1 answer:

8 0

Answer:
Latitude are the lines parallel with the equator, both above and below.
Longitude are the lines vertical from pole to pole, measured from the Prime meridian.

They are measuring lines used for locating places on the surface of the Earth. They are angular measurements, measured as degrees of a circle. A circle contains 360°. Each degree can be divided into 60 minutes, and each minute is divided into 60 seconds.

One degree of latitude equals 364,000 feet , one minute equals 6,068 feet, and one-second equals 101 feet.
One-degree of longitude equals 288,200 feet, one minute equals 4,800 feet, and one second equals 80 feet.

ycow [4]

There are some aspects; both of the areas known as Hawaii and California get earthquakes, and they are both in the Ring of Fire. Hawaii is on a volcanic island chain, which has volcanoes, yet the eruptions are subtle. California, on the other hand, doesn't have volcanoes, yet is prone to more earthquakes than Hawaii. If it was my choice, I would move to Hawaii. Nice weather and people beats out the earthquakes and volcanoes.
