In the professor Latilong activity, Longtitude and Latitude information were given to help you find each artifact.
Latitude and Longitude, coordinate system by means of which the position or location of any place on earth's surface can be determined and described. Latitude is a nonexistent line on a globe or map running from north or south of the equator. Whereas, Longitude is a measurement of location running east or west of the prime meridian at Greenwich.
Longitude is the amount of arc created by drawing a line from Earth's center to the intersection of the equator and the prime meridian and then another line from Earth's center to any point elsewhere on the equator. In Geographic latitude the arc subtended by the equatorial plane and the normal line can be drawn at a given point on earth's surface.

Equatorial regions are the regions located on or near the equator. Equatorial regions have hot and wet climate. The Amazon Basin (South America), the Congo Basin (Africa) and some regions of Asia are located in equatorial regions.
Answer:
If all the polar ice and glaciers melted, there would be a notorious rise in sea level, leaving thousands of cities located in lowlands, such as Miami or New Orleans, totally submerged under water.
Due to the melting of land ice, more water ends up in the oceans; for example, all the ice in Greenland spread across the oceans would account for seven meters of water; and a theoretical situation where all the ice in Antarctica would melt would result in an elevation of 61 meters.
The answer is - Mercalli intensity scale.
The Mercalli intensity scale represents a seismic intensity scale which is used for the measuring of the intensity if an earthquake. It is a scale that measures the effects of an earthquake. This scale is not based on first physical principles, but is, instead, empirically based on observed effects.
Answer:
Different parts of Earth's surface receive different amounts of sunlight. The sun's rays strike Earth's surface most directly at the equator. ... Because of the Earth's tilt the sun's rays strike the surface at a slant at the poles; they are less focused. This spreads the rays over a wide area.
