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.

How does Glaciation affects the soil? (Both in a good way and a bad way) Thanks!
vodomira [7]
Glaciers carry soil from one place to another. This means that a lot of the fertile soil used mainly for that one area could have been taken away and effected negatively because the fertile soil on the bottom isn't as good as the one on the top, which has been dragged away by glaciers. However, it can take soil to environments where soil is needed, helping it.
(So sorry but the same questions get the same answers lol)

What type of climate is created by the Norwegian Current? (A) marine (B) subarctic
balu736 [363]

The Norwegian Current creates marine climate type.

Explanation:

There are several ocean currents in the Atlantic Ocean. Some of them are warm ocean currents (surface currents), while some are cold (deep currents). The warm ones develop around the Equator and move toward the higher latitudes, while the cold ones develop in the higher latitudes and move toward the Equator.

The Norwegian Current is part of the warm ocean currents in the Atlantic. This ocean current is an extension of the North Atlantic Drift, which is an extension of the Gulf Stream, which is an extension of the Florida Current, which is an extension of the Antilles Current, which is an extension of the North Atlantic Current, thus creating a curved, interconnected extensions of one another. This ocean current brings in warm and humid weather conditions. It makes the western coast of the Scandinavian Peninsula much warmer that it should be according to its latitude, and brings in solid amounts of precipitation.

Some other ocean currents in the Atlantic Ocean are:

  • Counter Equatorial Current
  • Labrador Current
  • East Greenland Current

WILL CHOOSE BRAINLIEST!!! About 40% of the world's population lives within 100 kilometers of the coastal area. A student is aske
Daniel [21]

Answer: I believe the answer must be D.

Explanation: Because wind is a renewable energy source as it can appear and disappear in general and it happens a lot within coastal areas! It's definitely needed! Solar panels cannot really float and it would be unusual for that to happen if I am being honest. Fossil fuels are not renewable and they take a lot of years for them to decompose and they cause lots of pollution. I'm not sure about C, but I don't find the answer to be correct because I feel it best for nuclear energy to be most appropriate in places with nuclear equipment like labs or factories. This is my best guess and I hope you get this right!!

I hope this helped you, but please double-check with your teacher on this question! Good Luck!! :)
