Answer;

-Latitude

Explanation;

-The distance, measured in degrees, north and south of the equator is referred to as latitude.

-Latitude is the measurement of distance north or south of the Equator. It is measured with 180 imaginary lines that form circles around the Earth east-west, parallel to the Equator. These lines are known as parallels. A circle of latitude is an imaginary ring linking all points sharing a parallel.

-The Equator is the line of 0 degrees latitude. Each parallel measures one degree north or south of the Equator, with 90 degrees north of the Equator and 90 degrees south of the Equator.

LATITUDE is the distance, measured in degrees, north and south of the equator. They are parallel lines to the equator.

<h3>FURTHER EXPLANATION</h3>
  • The equator is the imaginary line that divides the earth into two hemispheres - north and south. It is assigned as the reference point, hence, 0 degrees latitude. The point 90 degrees north of the equator is called the north pole and 90 degrees south of the equator is the south pole.
  • Longitude lines (also called meridians) are lines perpendicular to latitude lines and extend from the north pole to the south pole. They are measured in degrees based on the angle they make from the reference point which is the prime meridian.
  • The Prime Meridian is the imaginary line that is assigned 0 degrees longitude. It is the arbitrary line that serves as the reference point in determining the the western and eastern hemispheres. It passes through Greenwich, England.
  • The Arctic Circle has a latitude of 66.5 degrees North. It is the boundary of the Arctic Region. It passes through several countries including Canada, Finland, Greenland, Norway, Russia, Sweden, and United States of America.

Explain one way that HYDROGEN GAS is commercially produced
Westkost [7]

Explanation:

There are a number of ways to produce hydrogen: Natural Gas Reforming/Gasification: Synthesis gas, a mixture of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and a small amount of carbon dioxide, is created by reacting natural gas with high-temperature steam. The carbon monoxide is reacted with water to produce additional hydrogen.

As of 2020, the majority of hydrogen (∼95%) is produced from fossil fuels by steam reforming of natural gas, partial oxidation of methane, and coal gasification. Other methods of hydrogen production include biomass gasification and electrolysis of water.
