102 Geography Questions And Answers
62⟩ What is the imaginary line that runs through South America called?
There are infinite numbers of imaginary lines that are used to divide and identify the entire surface of the earth. Some are called lines of latitude, or parallels as these lines run parallel to each other and the equator in an East and West direction. The others are called lines of longitude, or meridians, and they run north and south, converging at the poles. The two "primary" lines (or starting points, if you will) are called the Prime Meridian and the Equator. The Prime Meridian bisects the earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. It runs north and south through Greenwich, England at zero degrees of longitude and through the Pacific Ocean at 180 degrees of longitude. The Equator at zero degrees latitude bisects the earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere and runs around the middle of the earth. The Equator runs through South America and passes about 15 miles from the center of Quito, Ecuador.
63⟩ How does building hotels affect the planet?
Building hotels abroad encourages tourism meaning more aircraft is needed to transport people on holidays, therefore increasing carbon emissions
64⟩ During which season are the days shortest?
The shortest day of the year occurs at the end of fall/beginning of winter. Therefore, fall and winter are tied for the shortest average length of day.
65⟩ What are the three main bodies of water that surround Ireland?
The island that is Ireland is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean except to the east, between itself and Great Britain. That body of water, though contiguous with the Atlantic at both the north and south of it, is known as the Irish Sea in the north and the Celtic Sea in the south. Use the link below to see a map, and click on Ireland to zoom in so you can see the annotations.
66⟩ What is an upland forest?
Xeric upland forest occurs mainly in the Shawnee Hills in southern Illinois on sites where the soils are even thinner than those of barrens do. The trees have a stunted, gnarly growth form on these nutrient poor, droughty soils.
Dry upland forests grow on steep ridges, along rocky cliffs, and on bedrock outcrops along the Mississippi River and in the Shawnee Hills. Many of these sites were barrens in the past when natural fires were not extinguished by humans. The soils are thin and excessively drained, but the trees are not as stunted as those of the xeric upland forest are, which have even thinner soils.
1. Barrens means describes a variety of open-canopied forests with under stories of grasses and prairie plants. They are a unique combination of forest (oak) opening and prairie surrounded by dry or mesic upland forests with greater canopy cover. Both barrens and savannas have widely spaced trees and under stories of grasses, but whereas savannas occur on a range of soils from nutrient poor to nutrient rich, barrens are restricted to poor, thin, excessively drained soils.
67⟩ Where is the lowest place in the United States above ground?
In terms of altitude, the lowest elevation in the Western Hemisphere is in Death Valley. The elevation in the lowest point is 86 meters below sea level.
If we include places under water, the lowest place is the bottom of Lake Champlain, between Vermont and New York. Because it is elevation above, see level is just 95 feet, and the deepest part of this lake is 399 feet, this makes that point lower than even Death Valley, which is 282 feet below sea level.
68⟩ Who is the father of modern geography?
ERASTOSTHENES is often called the 'Father of Modern Geography'
69⟩ What is the latitude and longitude of Ontario?
Ontario, California: 34N05, 117W62
Ontario, Oregon: 44N02, 117W02
Ontario, Canada: irregular in shape, but extending from roughly
55N59'38" at its northernmost point (Fort Severn)
42N16 at its southernmost (Windsor)
74W43'02.64" at its easternmost point (Cornwall)
94W27'56.16" at its westernmost (Kenora)
70⟩ What is the river that flows on the border between Devon and Cornwall?
It is the River Tamar.
71⟩ What crops do they grow in Madagascar?
The main crop is rice. Other important food crops are cassava, sweet potatoes, potatoes, maize, beans, bananas, and peanuts. Leading crops for export are vanilla, coffee, cloves, sugarcane, cotton, sisal, and tropical fruits.
72⟩ Why the two ways Polar Regions and deserts are alike?
Two ways Polar Regions and deserts are alike is that they both have drought and very little or no life.
73⟩ What is the relevance of zoo geographical region in relation to taxonomy?
The location of a zoo that an animal is kept in will have nothing at all to do with its taxonomy. Taxonomy is the technical word for its classification, and that stays the same no matter where the animal is moved. Sometimes classification will have to do with its location, but the animal's species does not change because it has been moved.
74⟩ What is the average time zone?
The average time zone is 1 hour.
75⟩ What is the distance of the equator?
It is roughly over 24000 miles. It is the circumference of the earth.
76⟩ What is bauxite?
Bauxite is a rock with minerals in it.
77⟩ What is an executive capital city?
South Africa has three capital cities.
1) The legislative capital, Cape Town, is where the parliament is, and is where laws are drawn up.
2) The judicial capital, Bloemfontein, is where the Supreme Court of Appeal sits, and it is where the laws are interpreted.
3) The executive capital, Pretoria, is where the state officials have their headquarters, and it is from Pretoria that the country is run.
This rather unusual arrangement of three capitals is due to the arrangements made when South Africa was put together from four separate and independent countries. The three that were awarded a capital were Transvaal Republic, Orange Free State, Cape Colony and Colony of Natal. Three of the four countries each got a capital. Natal missed out for some reason.
78⟩ What island runs between Alaska and extend toward Asia?
Aleutian Islands
79⟩ What are cold and warm currents?
Air flows through an area that is either cold or warm. Where are the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn and Arctic Circle and Antarctic Circle located on a globe?
The Tropic Of cancer is 23.5 degrees north from the equator and the Tropic of Capricorn is 23.5 degrees south of the equator. The artic circle is the top of the globe and the Antarctic Circle is located south of the globe (way at the bottom)
80⟩ What is the difference between magnetic and geographical North?
The basic difference is that geographical north is static and the magnetic north is in constant motion, the magnetic field extends into the atmosphere and for lack of a better word is kind of like the wind.
