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.

Arisa [49]
The relative humidity will increase and water will condense. The boundaries between warm, moist air and cold, dry air is where storms frequently occur. As air rises, it expands because there is less atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes. As air expands, it cools.

Cutting the consumption of nonrenewable resources is a good idea because blank.
galben [10]
Non-renewable sources, like coal, oil and natural gas, have been made available to us through years of energy accumulation in the deep rocks of the earth's surface. In order to prevent depletion, we must not depend too much on it. Instead, we must use renewable sources, like the wind, solar, hydro and geothermal energy.
