Answer:

The relative location of the 'Tropic of Capricorn' in relation to the equator is 23.5° to the south of the equator.

Explanation:

A relative location is one that needs to be specified on the basis of a location of some other known landmark.

Here in this example, the equator acts as the landmark on the basis of which, the relative location of the 'Tropic of Capricorn' can be easily specified.

To depict a relative location there has to be a point of reference which can be used to define the location of the other given point.

List 3 countries with petroleum and 3 countries with gold

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

3 Countries with Petroleum

1. Iran

2. Iraq

3. Kuwait

3 Countries with Gold

1. China

2. Russia

3. Australia

Explanation:

1. Iraq's petroleum industry is very important for its economy. Before its international embargo, it became a major exporter of crude oil.

2. Iran has one of the largest petroleum reserves in the world. Just like Iraq, it also became a major exporter of crude oil. However, due to wars and sanctions, export revenue declined.

3. Kuwait is a tiny country that is rich in oil. It's largest industry is "petroleum industry," and it is owned by the government.

4. China is considered to be the largest gold-producer in the world. Although it only has a few gold reserves, many people are into gold-mining.

5. Next to China is Russia. It is second when it comes to the accumulation of gold, yet it is only in 6th position when it comes to gold reserve.

6. Australia is perceived to overtake China's position in the coming years as the largest producer of gold in the world. This is because of Australia's cost-effective mining and plans for major expansion.
