Antarctica is the only continent with no permanent human habitation. There are, however, permanent human settlements, where scientists and support staff live for part of the year on a rotating basis. The continent of Antarctica makes up most of the Antarctic region.
Explanation:
<span>The equator is 0 degree latitude. This imaginary line, which runs through parts of South America, Africa, and Asia, is officially the halfway point between the North Pole and the South Pole.</span>
<span>The prime meridian is 0 degrees longitude. This imaginary line runs through the United Kingdom, France, Spain, western Africa, and Antarctica.</span>
By using the equator and prime meridian, we can divide the world into four hemispheres, north, south, east, and west. For instance, the United States is in the Western Hemisphere (because it is west of the prime meridian) and also in the Northern Hemisphere (because it is north of the equator).
<span>These lines are merely for the identification of where things are on a map or a globe.</span>
Answer:
United States customary units form a system of measurement units commonly used in the United States and U.S. territories since being standardized and adopted in 1832. The United States customary system developed from English units which were in use in the British Empire before the U.S. became an independent country.
Explanation
<em>The US customary system includes units for measuring length, weight, capacity, area, volume, and temperature.</em>
GDP (Gross market value) measures the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time.
GNP (Gross National Product) measures the market value of all final goods and services produced by a country's citizens or residents. The difference is subtle but important.
GNP excludes economic activity that occurs for example in the U.S. but is owned by foreigners and includes American economic activity that occurs in other countries.
GDP is place based whereas GNP is ownership based. Thus if a foreigner starts a company in Silicon valley, this will count as GDP, but not GNP. If General Electric opens a new plant in India, this investment will be included in GNP but not GDP.
