When you look at a map of the world, it probably has lines on it. The ones that go up and down is latitude, like a ladder. The other ones are long and are called longitude.

'Latitude' is an angle.

The latitude of a point on the Earth's surface is
the angle between the equator and that point.

Since the equator is located around the Earth's "middle",
latitude can be an angle either going north or going south
from the equator.

Latitude is never more than 90 degrees:

-- 90 degrees north from the equator is the north pole,
and you can't get any norther than that.

-- 90 degrees south from the equator is the south pole,
and you can't get any souther than that.

The correct answer is B. Extrusive Igneous

Explanation

The image shows an image of an Obsidian rock and at the top a text fragment that says "The photo below shows a sample of Obsidian forms when lava from a volcanic eruption cools very quickly aboveground"

Igneous rocks are a group of rocks that includes all those that have been formed by the solidification of magma or lava expelled from the earth's lithosphere through a process called crystallization. In general, when the solidification of magma occurs within the lithosphere, the resulting rock is called intrusive. On the other hand, if the cooling occurs (at least in part) at the surface or a shallow depth, the resulting rock is called extrusive.

Taking into account the text that complements the image of the question and the previous information, it is possible to affirm that the correct answer is B. Extrusive Igneous because the rock is the result of the solidification of lava above the ground.

How are the troposphere and the stratosphere different

Likurg_2 [28]

Differences between the Troposphere and the Stratosphere:

The troposphere is the lowest level of the atmosphere, so it is in contact with the Earth’s surface. In contrast, the stratosphere is located above the troposphere, so it is not in contact with the Earth’s surface. Humans live in the troposphere, not the stratosphere. People only spend time in the stratosphere is when they are traveling through it on an airplane, or flying through it while riding in a rocket. The air density and air pressure are much lower in the stratosphere. In fact, stratospheric air is too thin for people to be able to survive without pressurized air to breathe.
