Answer:
69 miles/111 kilometers
Explanation:
The parallel lines, are lines that are parallel, as the name suggests. They at positioned north and south from the Equator, and they make east to west concentric circles around the planet.
These lines are imaginary, thus creating by humans, and the main purpose for it has been the measuring of latitude and measuring of exact location (in combination with the meridians).
These lines are approximately 69 miles, or 111 kilometers apart. Now this is a rough average, as there are slight differences because of the elliptical shape of Earth, but the differences are very small. The distance tends to be slightly less than the average on the lower latitudes, and slightly more on the high latitudes.
Could you please put a picture of the text? But i’m pretty sure they had a big hurricane and because the city is basically bowl- shaped, the water couldn’t really get out. There was so much water coming in that the levees broke and that’s why there was so much flooding.
The Earth is round so that we have day and night. If the Earth was not round, it would not rotate and half of the world would be dead because it would never get any sunlight, and the other half would probably die because of how hot it is. Additionally, if the Earth wasn’t round we wouldn’t have balanced gravity and the Earth would be unable to revolve properly around the sun.
Hope this helps!
