Debora [2.8K]3 years ago
3 0

Answe:

Os paralelos possuem medidas específicas, chamadas de latitudes, que constituem a distância, em graus, de um dado paralelo em relação à Linha do Equador. Essa, por sua vez, possui latitude 0º.

Os meridianos são as linhas imaginárias dispostas verticalmente sobre o globo terrestre, formando semicírculos, ou seja, curvas que representam a metade de um círculo. Como todos os meridianos possuem o mesmo tamanho, não há diferenças técnicas entre um e outro, o que fez com que o meridiano principal fosse escolhido por meio de uma convenção realizada em Washington D.C. no final do século XIX. Nessa convenção, escolheu-se que a linha imaginária que atravessa a cidade de Londres, capital da Inglaterra e centro econômico da época, seria o meridiano principal, chamado de Meridiano de Greenwich, que é também o marco zero na medição dos fusos horários.

<span>It's 10 o'clock at night and you're out on a boat. if you head back into the coast where a land breeze is blowing, the temperature would get cooler. During the night, the land becomes cooler at a faster rate than the sea. The cold air from the land moves towards the sea to form the land breeze. The hot air from the sea rises and that gets filled up by the colder land breeze.</span>
