The correct answer is - Greenhouse effect.

The Greenhouse effect is a process in which certain type of gasses in the lower atmosphere manage to trap the heat that is radiated from the surface of the planet.

The gases that are considered to be greenhouse gases are able to perform such a thing, despite being relatively low in amount compared to other gases, because they have much more complex molecular structure.

The molecular structure of this gases enables them to trap the heat, or rather to not allow to leave the atmosphere and return it back toward the surface, thus having huge effect on the climate.

Greenhouse gases are the carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, nitrous oxide.

Which statement best describes 0 latitude?
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

C. An imaginary line that splits Earth in half between the North Pole and the South Pole

Explanation:

The 0-degree latitude line is the equator. It is the only line of latitude that is a great circle. The equator divides the earth equally between the North Pole and the South pole.

Places above the equator are the northern hemisphere whereas, those below fall into the southern hemisphere.

  • The equator is the only known great circle.
  • All other lines of latitudes are small circles.
  • Most places along the equator usually have the sun overhead and receive direct insolation.

Other choices are wrong;

  • The northernmost point on earth is the north pole
  • An imaginary line that runs through Greenwich in London is the Prime meridian
  • The southernmost point of Earth is the south pole.
