Answers:

(A) In what way is the equator different from all the other parallels?

Firstly, we have to define what parallels are:

They are imaginary horizontal lines that never touch (that is why they are parallel) that travel across the Earth globe from East to West, forming circles that become smaller and smaller as they get closer to the poles.

Now, the equator is also a parallel, whose latitude is $0\°$ , however, what makes it especial is that this line is in middle, dividing the Earth in its two hemispheres: Northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere. In addition the radius of the circle it forms is the greatest of all the parallel circles in which the Earth was divided by geographers.

(B) So... the equator gets uniquely used in the latitude system in what way?

As explained in the first answer, the equator divides the Earth in two hemispheres and this is useful to find the latitute.

In this sense, latitude is defined as the angular distance between the equatorial line and a specific point on the Earth. Dividing the planet in the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere, depending on the location of the geographical point with respect to the equator.

So, the parallels allow us to determine the latitude of a point, in other words, they help to know if the position of a point is North or South of the Equator.

Answer from: Quest

May consider a group g=({0,1},+)g=({0,1},+)where ++ will work as the xor operator like we work in boolean algebra. note here, that ‘00’ and ‘11’ are not the usual 0 and 1 that we work with everyday. the elements are called ‘00’ and ‘11’ and may not mean zero (nothing) and one (single). ‘00’ is the identity for the given binary operator +, meaning that any element operated with ‘00’ gets us that element itself. for a set ss in g′g′ having more elements than just {0,1}{0,1} the values for a+b∈sa+b∈s, such that a∈s,b∈sa∈s,b∈s, have to be first defined, only then can you determine the value of 1+11+1. the answer could possibly have been 22 if oanswer is25,000

In a 2010 article “fact check: eastern u. s. earthquake risk” by chris mould, the author provides as evidence the following statement by the united states geological survey: “although earthquakes may be less frequent in the eastern u. s., … urban areas in the east could face bigger losses because the shaking would affect much larger areas than similar quakes in the west. in addition, most homes and buildings in the east are not designed to withstand earthquakes.”this statement directly relates to which of the following concepts? a. vulnerabilityb. hazardc. riskd. severity

Select the correct text in the passage. the moving continents affect all subsystems on earth. which sentence identifies a potentially negative consequence of shifting continents? the supercontinent pangaea began to break up about 175 million years ago. [during this process, more coastline was exposed as the landmasses separated]. [the rearrangement and displacement of these huge landmasses resulted in the diversity of plants and animals we see on earth today]. [the movement of the plates sometimes leads to earthquakes and tsunamis]. however, over the long course of earth's history, their effects are usually minimal. in oceans, the plate movements usually lead to seafloor spreading. [seafloor spreading often results in the formation of underwater ranges of mountains].
