How would you describe the lines of longitude on a map

1 answer:

3 0

Longitude on a map is like vertical mapping lines on Earth which are well known as "meridians". One way to visualize this would be to think of splitting hula-hoops in half, then vertically, up and down, assembling them, with one positioned at the North Pole and one the South. Longitude lines show a numerical way to measure or show how far a location is east or west of the vertical line known as the Prime Meridian. The Prime Meridian runs vertically, north and south, over the British Royal Observatory, located in Greenwich England, from the North Pole to the South Pole.

• Which boundary is mineral rich (gold, silver)?

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Convergent plate boundary is rich in gold and silver.

Explanation:

There are three types of plate boundary such as Convergence, Divergence and Transform plate boundary. Most metallic minerals found in convergence plate boundary. Gold and silver are deposited in both convergent and divergent margins but rich in Convergent plate margin. Precious metals such as plutonium, gold, silver, etc. are mostly found in convergence of two plates. Convergence occurred in three ways such as Continent–Continent, Ocean–Ocean, Continent–Ocean.
