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.
Answer is Retrograde motion
Most of the time planet moves in expected path near the ecliptic which is east to west. Some times each planet turns around and moves to the east for a period of time, then it turns around to head in west direction again making a loop or zig-zag against the star background. This is called retrograde motion. Thus retrograde motion is the change of direction of the planets in loop.
Answer:
Both developed and developing countries have had significant negative impacts on the environment.
Explanation:
The environment has been very badly affected by human activity. The negative effect has been present for a very long time, progressively becoming more and more serious, but since the start of the Industrial Revolution it has exponentially increased and the effects have been horrific. While there are differences between the impact of developed and developing countries, the fact is that both have had significant negative impacts.
The now developed countries were actually the first ones to start with massive impact on the environment, which was a result of the usage of fossil fuels, rapid economic growth, and constantly growing demand for natural resources. The developing countries have started off later with their massive impact, but it has had the same results. While the developed countries are turning a page and try to be as environmentally friendly as possible, that is not the case with the developing countries that try to become developed. To put it simply, The forests that were destroyed in the UK several hundred years ago are not getting back, and the forests that were recently destroyed and still are getting destroyed in Indonesia will not just come back, at least not with the current trends.
