Mongas205:

Mongas205:

heres the map to help you

Vroy:

longitude and latitude...

Vroy:

are there choices?

Mongas205:

A is the equator, and B is the meridian. A is the prime meridian, and B is the equator. A is the prime equator, and B is the meridian. A is the equator, and B is the prime meridian.

Vroy:

ok so which can you cross out?

Mongas205:

i think its the first one

mxddi3:

ok so we can get rid of options B and C. Now from A and D, can you tell m why you chose the first one?

mxddi3:

me*

Mongas205:

a is the higher part the equator b the meridan lower than the equator

mxddi3:

ok so you are right in a way. notice the difference between option A and D is that one says "meridian" and one is the "prime"

Mongas205:

yes

mxddi3:

okay, so the prime meridian, what do you know about it? What is the difference between tht and a regular meridian?

Mongas205:

A prime meridian is the meridian in a geographic coordinate system at which longitude is defined to be 0°. Together, a prime meridian and its anti-meridian form a great circle

mxddi3:

ok so what do we call the line that is at 0 longitude? this will be your answer (: is it a meridian or a prime meridian?

Mongas205:

The prime meridian is the line of 0° longitude, the starting point for measuring distance both east and west around the Earth

mxddi3:

yes, it is. so your answer is going to be what?

Mongas205:

so its prime

mxddi3:

yes, it is. Correct. Make sense?

Mongas205:

yes it does thank you!!

mxddi3:
