Hi! I'm going to share a website quote that speaks about this, full disclaimer: the website is quoted and cited.

"Lines of latitude (parallels) run east-west around the globe and are used to measure distances NORTH and SOUTH of the equator. Since the equator is 0 , the latitude of the north pole, 1/4 of the way around the globe going in a northerly direction, would be 90 N. This is the highest latitude possible."

The correct answer is C. 180°W or 180°E

Explanation

Planet Earth with its spherical shape has been divided by imaginary lines to establish geographical locations, climatic zones and time zones. These imaginary lines are the Meridians and Parallels. The meridians are imaginary lines that go from the north pole to the south pole and divide the earth by 360 ° in length; of which 180 ° in length are towards the west and 180 ° in length are towards the east taking as reference point 0 ° the Greenwich Meridian, dividing the earth in eastern and western hemisphere.

On the other hand, the parallels are imaginary lines that divide the earth horizontally taking as reference the line of the equator or 0 °, this pattern divides the earth in the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere each with 90 ° latitude. So, the correct answer is C. 180°W or 180°E.

Most of the land in Algeria, Libya, and Egypt is in the Sahara desert. Which best
julsineya [31]

Answer:

Correct answer is 4. Under 2.5 people per sq. mi. (VERY low density)

Explanation:

Option four is the correct because areas such as Sahara have a low density and are not populated. The conditions of living are not allowing people in these type of areas to create some larger permanent settlements. The similar case is for example in Australia where 3/4 is covered with desert, which is practically uninhabited. Or we can also created a parallel with Greenland which also has a low density due to climate factor.

What types of orbital overlap occur in cumulene? check all that apply. hints check all that apply. p/p overlap s/sp2 overlap s/s
topjm [15]
<span>Answer: The carbons on the closures are sp² hybridized, with a p-orbital for the 'second' bond in the twofold bond with their neighboring carbons. They have those sp² orbitals covering with the s from the hydrogen, and they have a p covering in the pi bond with the neighboring carbon. They likewise have a sigma bond with the neighboring carbon I'll get to. The center carbons each have two pi bonds with their neighbors, leaving sp hybridiaztion for the rest. So they have sp/sp² with the end carbons, and sp/sp with each other. (What's more, they likewise have p/p in the pi bonds). So the total list is: s/sp² p/p sp/sp² sp/sp</span>
