How is the equator similar to the prime meridian? A. both the prime meridian and equator are lines that divide earth into norther and southern hemispheres B. both the prime meridian and equator are imaginary base lines from which locations of earth can be measured D. both the prime meridian and equator are symbols used in maps E. both the prime meridian and equator show the actual size and shape of continents

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: ( B ) is the correct choice, but the description should say " ... locations on Earth ... ",
not " ... locations of Earth ... ".

Answer 2

Answer:

The equator is similar to the prime meridian in a way that both the prime meridian and equator are imaginary base lines from which locations of earth can be measured. The correct option is B.

The equator is a hypothetical line hypothetically drawn on the globe that divides it into the northern and southern hemispheres and marks the latitude 0° parallel. It is situated equidistant from the poles.

Prime meridian in a geographic reference system, a prime meridian is any line of longitude when longitude is defined to be 0°.

The Northern and Southern Hemispheres are divided by the Equator. At 0° latitude, the Equator is located. The Prime Meridian travels through Greenwich, England, at latitude 0°.

Thus, the correct option is B.

List three reasons that rain predictions made by meteorologists are sometimes incorrect

Answers

there are several reasons that rain predictions made by meteorologists are sometimes incorrect, such as :
- Too many factors that could cause the rain
- Some of those factors could easily change in a short period of time
- We still hasn't developed a 100% solid method to make the prediction

hope this helps

The three reasons could be the following:

1) Relying on computers and not going to the field. Sometimes a technical or software fault could lead to a wrong prediction. it could be a new forecaster who does not know the weather patterns and so follows the computer model instead of stepping outside and actually feeling the weather

2) The atmosphere always changes with natural disasters occurring such as pollutants in the air that make forecasting difficult.

3) Most of the times meteorologists base their forecasts on probability. Because of differences in the climate, those temperatures are not the same, so errors occur.

Tectonic plates definition

Answers

Tectonic plates are parts (pieces) of the outermost layer of Earth: the Crust. (the outermost part of the mantle is also often included in the plates). This means that the land in the middle of the plates is relatively stable while the borders of the plates can be in movement - after all this is where two pieces meet. Plate borders are where the vocanoes and Earthquakes often take place.

A ________ stream has an interwoven network of small channels separated by much loose debris.

Answers

The answer is - trunk.
In trunk streams the top end of the stream, where the flow begins, is its source, while its mouth is the bottom end. In between the stream flows through its main course or trunk. This type of streams gain their water through runoff, the combined input of water from the surface and subsurface.
