<u>From the given options which may suitably apply to the description of grid-lines of the map are
</u>
- They are measured in degrees
- They set up a reference system
- They divide Earth into four equal parts
Answers: Options A, B and E
<u>Explanation:
</u>
Option A describes that the grid-lines of the map are measure in degrees, which are very true as the grid are lined with angular measurement which thus be done in unit of angles and is in degrees only.
Option B says it develops the reference system which specifies about the area being plotted are grid depending upon the size which sets up the referential system of enumeration.
Option E is true as the world or the Earth has been divided into 4 equal parts through the Prime Meridian as the longitudinal line and Equator as the latitudinal line.
Answer:
9:00 am
Explanation:
Lines of longitude are imaginary lines running from the north pole to the south pole of earth. These lines are used to calculate the time in places. Also when combined with lines of latitude, they are used to give the exact location of a place.
Given the place is at 45°W longitude and the time at GMT is 12:00 noon.
Degree difference = 0° (GMT) - 45° = -45°
1° = 4 min
time difference = -45° * 4 min per degree = -180 minutes = -3 hours
Therefore the local time at a place 45°W longitude = 12:00 noon - 3 hours = 9:00 am
