Answer 2

I will copy paste some important piece for you:
Lines of latitude (also called parallels) circle Earth parallel to the Equator. The Equator is an imaginary line that lies halfway between the North Pole and the South Pole. It runs east-west all the way around Earth. Lines of latitude describe positions north and south of the Equator.

Lines of longitude run between the North Pole and the South Pole. These lines are also called meridians. Like lines of latitude, meridians are measured in degrees, minutes, and seconds.

Answer 3

k thanks!

Answer 4

if you're still suck, just let me know :)

Answer 5

kinda, the question is on Edgenuity

Answer 6

A: "longitude run in the same direction as the equator" is incorrect because we know that "Lines of longitude run between the North Pole and the South Pole"

Answer 7

B: "while lines of longitude measure distances in miles." is incorrect because know we know that both lat and long are measured in degrees

Answer 8

C and D?

Answer 9

hmm I think only one is correct

Answer 10

ik

Answer 11

Here is the last sentence of the first paragraph that I pasted: "Lines of latitude describe positions north and south of the Equator."

Answer 12

this can help you pick between C and D

Answer 13

oh ok, thanks!
