Answer:

latitude: 45 S

longitude: 90 W

Explanation:

Our planet has been divided with imaginary lines created by the humans, lines called longitude lines and latitude lines. The purpose of them both is better navigation, counting the time, determining absolute locations etc. The longitude lines are vertical, running from north to south, with Greenwich being the starting point for measuring east and west. The latitude lines are horizontal, running from east to west, with the Equator being the starting point for measuring north and south.

  • In this case, we are locking for a point that is halfway from the Equator to the South Pole, and one quarter of the way around the Earth to the west.
  • There are 180 degrees of latitude, 90 south and 90 north, so halfway toward the South Pole would be 45 degrees south. There are 360 degrees of longitude, so one quarter of it will be 90 degrees west.
  • This location will be west of the southern part of South America, and slightly south from the Easter Islands, in the Pacific Ocean.

Answer:

<em>45 degrees South and 90 degrees West is the respective latitude and longitude. </em>

Explanation:

The inclination towards the Equator value is 0 degrees. South pole will be 90 degrees to the equator. So, halfway between the equator and the South pole will be 90/2 = 45 degrees South.

The angle around the Earth will be 360 degrees. One-quarter of the way around the Earth will be 360/4 = 90 degrees, as it is to the West of the Prime Meridian, the longitude will be 90 degrees West of the Prime Meridian.

Thinking about the lack of actions, what can we do as a community to bring long term social change and raise social awareness?
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

One main thing we can do to make social awareness happen as a community is start by pushing the message .  If we have a weak system of actions then we will need  a strong backbone to do whats right like knowing when there is danger and knowing how to get out of the situation. If you don't leave the situation your likely to die. Its not hard to be aware of danger you see it and run or you can others around you get to safety  be a leader and that will save lives with people motivated they will follow you making the awareness known and strong .
