Question

Which is the correct explanation for 30°S latitude?   A. All positions along a circle that runs parallel to the equator and 30° north of it.   B. All positions along a circle that runs parallel to the equator and 30° south of it.   C. All positions along a circle that runs perpendicular to the equator and 30° south of it.   D. All positions along a circle that runs perpendicular to the equator and 30° north of it.

Answer 1

B. All positions along a circle that run parallel to the equator and 30 degrees south of it. You know this because latitude is horizontal, remember it by thinking latitude/flatitude. Since it is 30 degrees south, it means it will be 30 degrees below the equator.
