1. A globe can provide more realistic depictions of areas, distances, and directions.

2. Maps provide additional detail and make it easier to pinpoint specific locations. Despite the fact that the maps distort the Earth's spherical shape, geographers find useful applications for flat map projections.

3. Latitude and longitude are a set of lines that are used to describe the position of any point on Earth. Latitude lines travel from east to west around the globe. Longitude lines are drawn in a north-south direction. Lines travelling north to south are referred to as "Meridians" or "lines of longitude," whereas lines running east to west are referred to as "Parallels" or "lines of latitude."

4. Latitude is defined as the distance north or south of the Equator. It is calculated by drawing 180 imaginary lines that make circles around the Earth east-west, parallel to the Equator. Each parallel is one degree north or south of the Equator, with 90 degrees north and 90 degrees south of the Equator. Longitude is defined as the distance east or west of the prime meridian. These lines are referred to as meridians. Each meridian corresponds to one arcdegree of longitude. The circumference of the Earth is 360 degrees.

5. The absolute location of a place, such as its address or latitude and longitude, does not change. The relative location will vary based on who is describing the location. When providing the absolute position of a location, you only need to offer the coordinates or the address.

1. A globe can be more accurate on depicted areas, distances, and direction

2. Maps have more detail and its easier to pinpoint specific areas

3. Longitude lines run north-south and mark the position east-west of a point. Therefore, latitude is the angular distance east or west of the Prime Meridian

4. A longitude is an angle from the prime merdian, measured to the east (longitudes to the west are negative). Latitudes measure an angle up from the equator (latitudes to the south are negative).

5. The absolute location of a place doesn't change such as the address of a place or the latitude and longitude of a place. Relative location will change depending on the person describing the location.

I hope this helps UwU

How does ocean currents affect the climate of a continent?
Aleks [24]
The world’s ocean is crucial to heating the planet. While land areas and the atmosphere absorb some sunlight, the majority of the sun’s radiation is absorbed by the ocean. Particularly in the tropical waters around the equator, the ocean acts a as massive, heat-retaining solar panel. Earth’s atmosphere also plays a part in this process, helping to retain heat that would otherwise quickly radiate into space after sunset.
The ocean doesn't just store solar radiation; it also helps to distribute heat around the globe. When water molecules are heated, they exchange freely with the air in a process called evaporation. Ocean water is constantly evaporating, increasing the temperature and humidity of the surrounding air to form rain and storms that are then carried by trade winds, often vast distances. In fact, almost all rain that falls on land starts off in the ocean. The tropics are particularly rainy because heat absorption, and thus ocean evaporation, is highest in this area. Outside of Earth’s equatorial areas, weather patterns are driven largely by ocean currents. Currents are movements of ocean water in a continuous flow, created largely by surface winds but also partly by temperature and salinity gradients, Earth’s rotation, and tides (the gravitational effects of the sun and moon). Major current systems typically flow clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere, in circular patterns that often trace the coastlines. Ocean currents act much like a conveyer belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Thus, currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth’s surface. Without currents, regional temperatures would be more extreme—super hot at the equator and frigid toward the poles—and much less of Earth’s land would be habitable.
