Locating the Place on the Earth
Key words
Schedule: - It is a plan for carrying out a process or procedure.
Subtended: - Form an angle at a particular point.
Variation: - IT is a slight difference in condition or amount in certain.
Land marks - the features which help us to locate places are called land marks.
Southern hemisphere -The south part of the earth is called southern hemisphere.
Northern hemisphere - The north part of the earth is known as northern hemisphere.
Lines of latitudes -Horizontal lines drawn on a globe or a map are called lines of latitudes.
Grid = A network of the lines of latitude and longitude intersecting each other is called a grid.
A. Tick the Correct Option
1.The equator does not pass through which one of the following continents? - Europe
2.The heat zone lying between 23*1/28 N and 66*1/2 N is: - Temperate Zone.
3.The longest circle drawn between two poles is: - Prime Meridian
4. When the time at 12 noon at 0* longitude, the time at 75* E longitude will be: - 5 p.m
5.Which one of the following is a correct statement about longitudes? - All of them have equal lengths.
B. Fill in the blank
1.The earth rotates from west to east.
2.All the places on the same meridian will have the same local time.
3.The distance between two lines of latitudes is always 1* or Same
4.The Meridians are the imaginary lines that connect the north and south pole.
5.Each degree of longitude corresponds to a time difference of four minutes.
C.Match the followings
1.Two equal division of earth hemispheres.
2.Latitudes are measured in Degrees.
3.Tropic of cancer 23*1/2’ N.
4.British royal observatory Greenwich.
5.The place through which standard Meridian of India passes Mirzapur.
D.Answer the following questions in brief.
1. Which two basic points on the earth serve as the reference points?
Ans north pole and south pole.
2.Why the torrid zone has the maximum temperature?
Ans Because it is situated between tropic of cancer and tropic of Capricorn, so it receives direct sunlight from sun
3.Which heat zone is most suitable for us to live and why?
Ans Temperate zone is most suitable for us to live because,where it lies that part receives moderate amount of sun light.
E.Answer the following questions.
1.State the main characteristics of parallel of latitudes.
Ans three main characteristics of parallel of latitudes are:
a.Lines of latitudes are also called parallel of latitudes.
b.Each degree of latitude is divided in 60 minutes.
c.Equator lies on 0* degree.
2.Why do we use standard time? explain with an example from India.
Ans Some countries lie on more than one longitude, so it would be difficult to time, so to avoid these problems standard meridian was adopted by all countries.
Do you know?
1. In Latin a.m. means ante meridian and p.m. means post meridian.
2. Some countries have a vast longitudinal extent. that is why countries like Russia has nine and USA has four time zones.
Facts
Although, about 30 longitudes pass through India.
Russia has nine time zones.
The tropic of cancer is located at 23*1/2* north.
The tropic of’ cancer and “The tropic of Capricorn” marks the limits of Torrid zone.
A great circle divides the earth in two halves, which is known as equator.
Indian standard meridian” is also known as “IST”.
