Answer:

Lines of latitude measure north-south position between the poles. Lines of latitude are all parallel to each other, thus they are often referred to as parallels.

Lines of longitude, or meridians, run between the North and South Poles. They measure east-west position. The prime meridian is assigned the value of 0 degrees, and runs through Greenwich, England. Meridians to the west of the prime meridian are measured in degrees west and likewise those to the east of the prime meridian are measured to by their number of degrees east.

What question did Yali ask Diamond that sparked Diamond’s research? What did Yali’s question mean?
skad [1K]

Answer:

Yali´s question: "Why you white man have so much cargo and we New Guineans have so little?"

Explanation:

This question from Yali, a Papua New Guinean political leader, led Diamond to develop his research published as Guns, Germs, and Steel (1997).

The question refers to the word cargo as New Guineans use it, meaning the goods brought by Westerners, which were considered as proof of the white man’s strength.

Yali’s question is actually about the roots of inequality.
