Why do longitude lines converge while latitude lines do not?

Social Studies

Katyanochek1 [597]3 years ago

Answer:

The reason as to why longitude lines converge while latitude lines do not is;

Explanation:

  • That latitude lines are parallel to the equator, which means they cannot meet with the equator. They measure the distance from the equator to the north and south, they therefore do not converge.
  • On the other hand, longitudes measure distance from the equator to the east and west, they meet at the north and south pole thereby converging.

The longitudes usually divert at the poles, which are the actual distance between two different meridians which is parallel. While moving closer to the poles the range that corresponds to one of latitude degree becomes more excellent than that corresponding to the longitude

Therefore it is not easy to calculate the lengths of the latitudes using through the use of graticule because the lines are concentric and they become small as you move closer to the poles. They form to construct a single point where the meridian starts.

In what ways are the love songs of the Middle Ages different from today’s love songs, and in what ways are they similar?
belka [17]

Answer: Although modern Western ideas about romantic love owe a certain amount to the classical Greek and Roman past, they were filtered through the very different culture of the European Middle Ages. One can trace the concepts which dominated Western thinking until recently to the mid-12th Century. Before that time, European literature rarely mentions love, and women seldom figure prominently. After that time, within a decade or two, all has changed. Passionate love stories replace epic combat tales and women are exalted to almost god-like status. Simultaneously, the Virgin Mary becomes much more prominent in Catholic devotions, and emotionalism is rampant in religion.

The pioneers of this shift in sensibility seem to have been the troubadours, the poets of Provence (now Southern France). Provençal is a language related to French, Italian and Spanish, and seems to have facilitated the flow of ideas across the often ill-defined borders of 12th-Century Europe. It has often been speculated that Arabic poetry may have influenced their work by way of Moorish Spain. Although this seems likely, it is difficult to confirm.

Explanation: Once the basic themes are laid down by the troubadours, they are imitated by the French trouvères, the German Minnesingers (love poets) and others. Thus, even though the disastrous 13th-Century Albigensian crusade put an end of the golden age of the troubadours, many of their ideas and themes persisted in European literature for centuries afterward.

When babies are born, their biological needs are all they know. When they are hungry, they want food, and when something hurts,
bekas [8.4K]

According to Freud, the part of the baby's brain fueling this behavior is the<u> "id".</u>


As indicated by Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory of personality, the id is the personality segment made up of oblivious clairvoyant vitality that attempts to fulfill fundamental urges, needs, and wants. The id works in view of the joy rule, which requests quick satisfaction of requirements. The id is one of the three noteworthy segments of identity proposed by Freud, the id, ego, and superego.
