Question

5. Calculating

Answer 1

Answer:

The convergent boundary moves 0.00901° or 32.4" in terms of latitude change for a 1 km northward distance change.

Explanation:

With the question 4 and the answer to question 4 missing from this question, the solution will be provided with just the information provided in this question.

A change in latitude of 1 degree corresponds to an approximate 111 km distance along a north-south line.

1° latitude change = 111 km distance along north-south line

The convergent boundary moves 1 km northward. We can calculate how much of a change that is on the latitude.

111 km = 1°

1 km = (1×1/111) = 0.00901°

Converting to seconds, the convergent boundary moves (0.00901 × 3600)" = 32.4" in terms of latitude change.

Hope this Helps!!!
