The Tropic of Capricorn (or the Southern Tropic) is the circle of latitude that contains the subsolar point on the December (or southern) solstice. It is thus the southernmost latitude where the Sun can be directly overhead. Its northern equivalent is the Tropic of Cancer.

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.

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

The largest amount of carbon is involved in natural fire biological processes in the oceans.

Explanation:

The exchange of carbon between the biosphere , hydrosphere , geosphere and atmosphere on the Earth , is called the Carbon Cycle.

The ocean contains a large active pool of carbon on the surface of the Earth , but in the deep ocean does not exchange with the atmosphere.

The amount of carbon from the biological process in the oceans is 50 % greater than any other.

You are at 35 N and 175 W; you move to a new location which is 40 south and 60 west of your present position. What are the coord

evablogger [386]

Answer:

The new coordinates are 5S and 125E

Explanation:

Addition of latitudes:

If they are in the same direction, you just have to add the values.

For example, 5N + 10N = 15N.

You have to be careful that we don't have any latitude higher than 90. So, if the result of your sum is higher than 90, we subtract 180 by the result, and the position is in the other hemisphere.

For example

60N + 40N = 100N

100N is larger than 90, so not possible

Subtracting and changing hemisphere

180 - 100N = 80S

When they are in opposite directions, you can just say that one hemisphere is the positive one, and the other is the negative.

In this problem, i am going to say that the North hemisphere is the positive one and the South the negative.

So, currently at 35N moving 40S. The new position is

$P = 35 - 40 = -5$

Since the result is negative, this just means that we are in the Southern Hemisphere, so 5S

Adittion of Longitudes:

They work just like the latitudes, the difference is that we don't have any longitude higher than 180. So, if we have a result higher than 180, we subtract 360 by this value and change the hemisphere.

In this problem.

175W + 60W = 235, higher than 180, so:

360 - 235 = 125E
