longitude equals four minutes of time all around the world.But in measuring distance,one degree shrinks from about one hundred and nine kilometers at the equator to nothing at the north and south poles.16.What's the main purpose of drawing lines on the map that are NOT on the Earth's...
Most maps of the world show lines that are not on the Earth's surface.One line is the equator(赤道).It is an imaginary line around the widest part of the Earth.There are similar lines both north and south of the equator.These circles become smaller and smaller toward the north pole ...

Galapagos is a small but unique group of 127 islands of which 19 are larger and straddling the equator in the Pacific Ocean some 1,000 km in the west of the American continent. The Galapagos islands and their surrounding waters form the Galapagos Province of Ecuador. People find the island ...
much as half the year in certain places near either of the planet's two poles, but it's uncommon to see them in areas that are closer to the equator, which is whythe spectacles over North America, Europe and other places on similar latitutdes were such a treat in the last few days....
Understanding the effects of cash crop expansion on natural forest is of fundamental importance. However, for most crops there are no remotely sensed global maps1, and global deforestation impacts are estimated using models and extrapolations. Natural ru
One pixel from a GEOS satellite positioned over 22 thousand miles above the earth is about a thousand metres square on the equator.For more distant points on the earth (like the poles), the minimum size will double, thus corresponding to half-resolution. Both north and south, the camera ...

Near the Equator and in the Southern Hemisphere GCMs still manage to reproduce the general shape of the distribution albeit with more variability in the position and intensity of the maximum. Overall, it can be concluded that GCMs are generally able to reproduce the averaged persistence of ...
In the North Africa map, you can better see Cameroon (Kamerun) shown over spilling its then-current boundaries. It’s showing the largest extent of the German colonies borders during World War I, exaggerating their presence in the area (or the fact that there’s a presence at all). ...
