Tropic of Virgo
Explanation
The given latitude indicates Tropic of Cancer. The Tropic of Cancer is the most northern latitude on the Earth where the sun can appear directly overhead. The Tropic of Cancer is currently positioned at approximately $$23^{\circ} 27'$$.

A globe is a ____________ object.
Report Question
0%
two dimensional
0%
three dimensional
0%
four dimensional
0%
flat
Explanation
A globe is a three-dimensional object.
A globe is a spherical model of Earth, of some other celestial body, or of the celestial sphere. Globes serve similar purposes to maps, but unlike maps, do not distort the surface that they portray except to scale it down.
Which of the following statement is true in respect of longitude?
Report Question
0%
The longitudes are semicircles that meet at the two poles
0%
The longitudes are farthest apart at the equator and gradually the gap decreases towards the pole.
0%
All the lines of longitude are of the same length as they extend from North Pole to South Pole
0%
All of the above
Explanation
The vertical lines running north-south, join the two poles. They
are called the meridians of longitude. They are spaced farthest apart
at the equator and converge at a point at each pole.
Unlike the parallels of latitude which are circles, the
meridians of longitude are semi-circles that converge
at the poles. If opposite meridians are taken together,
they complete a circle, but, they are valued separately
as two meridians.
The meridians intersect the equator at right angles.
Unlike the parallels of latitude, they are all equal in
length. For convenience of numbering, the meridian
of longitude passing through the Greenwich
observatory (near London) has been adopted as the
Prime Meridian by an international agreement and has
been given the value of 0°.

Same line of 180W and 180E which is opposite Prime Meridian is also known as ________.
Report Question
0%
International date line
0%
Arctic date line
0%
Antarctic date line
0%
Polar date line
Explanation
The 180th degree meridian opposite Prime Meridian is also known as the anti meridian. It is used to define International Date Line. As the Earth is spherical, travelling 180 degrees in either direction from the prime meridian will lead to 180 degrees longitude or the opposite meridian.
The correct option is A.
Which of the following heat zone receive maximum Insolation?

All of these
Explanation
The torrid zone is the area of the earth between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. It is also known as the tropical zone. The temperature in this zone is warm, humid and moist throughout the year. The sun is directly overhead at least once in a year in the tropic zone. So this torrid zone receive maximum insolation.

Report Question
0%
Torrid Zone
0%
Temperate Zone
0%
Frigid Zone
0%
All of the above
Explanation
On the basis of the distribution of temperature earth is divided into the following heat zones,
Torrid zone: It extends on both side of the equator and is bounded by the Tropic of Cancer and Capricorn. That is between 23 degrees half minute North and 23 degree half minute South latitudes.
Temperate zone: It extends in one each of the two hemispheres. They lie between the Tropic of Cancer and Arctic Circle in the northern and between Tropic of Capricorn and Arctic Circle in the southern hemisphere. That is between 23 degrees half minute North to 66 degrees half minute North and 23 degrees half minute South and 66 degrees half minute South latitudes.
Frigid zone: It extends in two hemispheres. The fried zone in Northern hemisphere lies between Arctic Circle and the North Pole and in the southern hemisphere between Antarctic circle and South pole.
Distribution of temperature is uniform on the earth's surface.
Report Question
0%
True
0%
False
Explanation
The temperature is not uniformly distributed on the earth's surface. Temperature varies at different altitudes of the atmosphere at different places over the surface of the earth and even at different times during a day or during a month or during a year. There are several factors that control temperature variations on the earth's surface.

Tempearate Zone
0%
Frigid Zone
0%
None of these
Explanation
The regions of the earth to the north of the Arctic Circle and to the south of the Antarctic Circle are collectively called as the Frigid Zone or the Polar Region. The sun does not come vertically above these regions at any time in a year. Throughout the year Frigid Zone receives slanting sun rays and hence experience a very cold climate. Most of the land there is covered with permanent ice.

A globe is used to study the earth as a whole.
Report Question
0%
True
0%
False
Explanation
True,
Although Earth is spherical, it is very large. So the areas we work in general can be studied or worked up on easier on a flat map than a spherical globe.
When the problem or issue at hand is between very far locations and the curvature of Earth is important, then spherical coordinate system is used and globe shape is used.
Also it is convenient to make maps which can be handled and stored easily than spherically shaped globes.
A globe is used to know the ________________.

A radio broadcast from Tokyo on Saturday at 12 noon should be heard at Vancouver______.
Report Question
0%
The same morning
0%
The same evening
0%
On Friday
0%
On Sunday
Explanation
Time increases east of the Prime Meridian and decreases to its west. Hence, for a person moving
east of the Prime Meridian, the time would be 12 hours less than the time
at 0° longitude. For another person moving westward, the time would be
12 hours more than the Prime Meridian.
Since, Tokyo is in east of the
Prime meridian
and Vancouver is in west of the
Prime meridian, so
A radio broadcast from Tokyo on Saturday at 12 noon should be heard at Vancouver on Friday.
