Answer:

Distance

Explanation:

Longitudes are the lines that move from the extreme north pole to the south pole and are perpendicular to the latitudes. The distance between these lines is maximum at the equator and minimum at the poles as the earth is flattened at the poles.

At the equator (0°), 1° of longitude corresponds to approximately 69 miles and as it reaches the poles, these value reduces to less than 30 miles.

Thus, the lines of longitude converge at both the poles, and so the distance between these lines is the least.

Answer:

Mountain, Canyon, Delta

Explanation:

The uppermost box would be mountain.

The box below that one would be canyon.

And the farthermost box to the right would be delta.

If you thought about it, changing those circles to make them 3D is like stacking layers on top as they get smaller, this would form something that looks like a mountain.

Water typically runs through a canyon and the lines appear to be separating for the water.

Deltas are wetlands that form from rivers emptying their water into another body of water. If you were to look up an image of a delta that would make it easier to understand, it also looks like what the image provided is trying to demonstrate.
