Answer:

Explanation:

All the meridians on Earth are great circles. Meridians, including the prime meridian, are the north-south lines we use to help describe exactly where we are on the Earth. All these lines of longitude meet at the poles, cutting the Earth neatly in half.

Here is the graph help me with this​
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

A - Galeota point   B - Gulf of Paria   C - Mayaro Bay   E - Columbus Canal   F - Montserrat Hills   G - Cocos Bay    I - Trinity Hills

Explanation:

On this map, we have the island of Trinidad, the one that makes up most of the territory of the nation of Trinidad and Tobago. Despite not being a large island, it has multiple different landforms that give it an interesting landscape, but also a landscape that is very useful for the development of the nation.

There are a couple of very good bays in the country, both being located in the eastern part, those two being the Mayaro Bay and Cocos Bay, excellent for seaports. The western side is dominated by the Gulf of Paria, while the southern one has the Columbus Canal that separates the island from mainland South America. There are several points on the island, with the one on its southeastern side being the Galeota Point. Despite being a small island, the relief is varied. The set of hills on the southern part are the Trinity hills, while the ones that stick out in the central part of the island are the Montserrat Hills.

WHAT ADVANTAGES  DOES A GLOBE HAVE OVER A MAP OR SATELLITE IMAGE
polet [3.4K]
A globe is smaller than a wall map (generally), so the pictures would be smaller and have less bias. The bias I am talking about in regards to the map would be like this: say a geographer creates a map, and he/she makes enlarges a certain country or makes a country smaller than it actually geographically is. For example, last year, in our class, we had this map that made the continent of Africa, for instance, look ridiculously huge compared to the other countries. Africa may or may not actually be that big, so it is likely that the creator of the map used a bit of bias to determine which countries/continents should be bigger, etc. With a globe, you do not have that bias (or less of it), because the countries and continents need to be smaller to fit on the globe. It can be said that this way, the representation of the countries and continents is a bit more accurate than the maps that are not drawn to scale. I would say that satellite images can be less accurate than globes as well because although it is a more accurate diagram than a map would be, it may still have parts enlarged to it/bias depending from which angle or location the image was taken from. The globe is, in my mind, more geographically accurate than a map or satellite image, and also, with a globe, you can spin it around, which can show the earth spinning on its axis and it is more tactile than maps or images, so you can use it in more different ways than you could a map or image.
