Developed countries have better medical facilities because they have more money and are able to afford equipment which is often very expensive. Due to having more money, their medical facilities can be equipped more expensively. While this doesn't always mean it is a better facility, it often is the case.
So in a nutshell, because developed countries have more money, they are also able to provide better healthcare and better medical care in their medical facilities.
The position of a place north or south of the equator is described
in terms of its latitude. Since we're talking about the surface of
a sphere, latitude is an angle, and its value is given in angle
measure.
Any unit of angle is fine ... degrees, radians, grads, etc., and if
you're given an angle in one unit, you can always easily change
it to a unit that you like better ... but 'degrees' has been the unit
used most often for latitude, and longitude too, practically since
the whole system was invented a few hundred years ago.
For parts of an angle smaller than a whole degree, 1/60 of a
degree (minutes) and 1/3600 of a degree (seconds) were used
traditionally for the first couple hundred years. But that ponderous,
inconvenient system is rapidly giving way now to plain old decimal
degrees, probably because those are easier for the computer to handle.
Answer:
Scientists used major changes in life forms in the fossil record to form the geologic time scale.
A geographic coordinate system<span> or a GCS uses a three-dimensional spherical surface to define certain locations on earth. Also, a GCS is often mistakenly called a datum, but a datum is just one part of a GCS.
Finally, a GCS includes a prime meridian, </span><span>an angular unit of measure, </span>and a datum :)
