The answer is B. The lines of Latitude are about 69 miles apart. Each line of latitude is 1 degree of the angle of circumference of the earth, with parallel latitude lines lined up going East-West. Since the lines are stacked up north to south, your latitude describes your North/South position on the earth. Since these lines are parallel, their distance in generally constant.
Unitary: no local decisions.
Federal: some local decision.
Confederation: a lot of local decisions.
Answer:
The five main latitude regions of Earth's surface comprise geographical zones[1], divided by the major circles of latitude. The differences between them relate to climate. They are as follows:
The North Frigid Zone, between the North Pole at 90° N and the Arctic Circle at 66° 33' N, covers 4.12% of Earth's surface.
The North Temperate Zone, between the Arctic Circle at 66° 33' N and the Tropic of Cancer at 23° 27' N, covers 25.99% of Earth's surface.
The Torrid Zone, between the Tropic of Cancer at 23° 27' N and the Tropic of Capricorn at 23° 27' S, covers 39.78% of Earth's surface.
The South Temperate Zone, between the Tropic of Capricorn at 23° 27' S and the Antarctic Circle at 66° 33' S, covers 25.99% of Earth's surface.
The South Frigid Zone, from the Antarctic Circle at 66° 33' S and the South Pole at 90° S, covers 4.12% of Earth's surface.
