Define in sentence form relative location longitude and time zone

Social Studies
1 answer:
Brut [27]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

En geografía, un huso horario es cada una de las 24 áreas en que se divide la Tierra, por un meridiano y en las que rige por convención el mismo horario.1​ Se llaman así porque el área demarcada tiene la forma de un huso de hilar, centrado en el meridiano de una longitud que es un múltiplo de 15°. Anteriormente, se usaba el meridiano tiempo solar verdadero, con lo que la diferencia entre una ciudad y otra era de unas pocas horas, en el caso de que las ciudades comparadas no se encontraran sobre un mismo meridiano. El empleo de los husos horarios corrigió el problema parcialmente, cuando los relojes de una región suenan al mismo tiempo solar medio.

Todos los husos horarios se definen en relación con el denominado tiempo universal coordinado (UTC), huso horario centrado sobre el meridiano de Greenwich (también conocido como meridiano cero), que recibe ese nombre por pasar por el Real Observatorio de Greenwich, en el Gran Londres.[cita requerida]

Puesto que la Tierra gira de oeste a este, al pasar de un huso horario a otro en dirección este, hay que sumar una hora. Por el contrario, al pasar de este a oeste hay que restar una hora. El meridiano de 180°, conocido como línea internacional de cambio de fecha, marca el cambio de día

Which type of child abuse is most prevalent in the United States?
777dan777 [17]

The correct answer is B. Neglect

Explanation:

The term "child abuse" refers to any action or behavior that leads to child maltreatment in any way including psychological, psychical, sexual abuse and neglect. Additionally, child abuse is commonly linked to the context as in some cases there are cultural elements that promote it or prevent it as well as laws that act against child abuse and that also determine the type of child abuse that prevails more in a country. In the case of the United States, the type of child abuse that prevails is neglect as research indicate around a 78% percent of the children that suffer from child abuse experience neglect rather than physical, psychological or sexual abuse that are only part of lower percentages which means programs and laws to stop child abuse should be addressed to neglect. Therefore, the type of child abuse that is most prevalent in the United States is Neglect.

. Which of the following statements best describes literacy rates in North Africa? A. Literacy rates are decreasing in the regio
ycow [4]

The answer is  B. Literacy rates are increasing in the region, and the gap between men and women is decreasing. Annual regional-level literacy estimates based on national data and the Unesco  Institute  for Statistics projections from 1990 to 2016  tell us that Eastern and South-Eastern Asia, Southern Asia, and Northern Africa and Western Asia have made the greatest progress in improving adult literacy over the past 26 years .

According to the Fact Sheet No. 45 dated  September 2017 of the Unesco  Institute  for Statistics, Northern Africa and Western Asia literacy rate went from 64% to 81. The youth literacy rate increased in Northern Africa and Western Asia from 80% to 90% and sub-Saharan Africa  from 65% to 75%. Female literacy rates-lower than male literacy rates at the start of the period - generally grew faster than male literacy rates between 1990 and 2016.Thus, the gap between men and women has decreased  in all regions over the past 26 years.
