Question 10.<\/strong><\/span>
\nWhich line is known as the Prime Meridian ? State its importance.
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nGreenwich Meridian is called the \u2018Prime Meridian\u2019 or the 0\u00b0 longitude. The time is calculated with respect to this Meridian. So it is the basic Meridian and time is written as G.M.T. (Greenwich Meridian Time) The earth takes 4 minutes for moving 1\u00b0 distance.<\/p>\n

Question 11.<\/strong><\/span>
\nHow can the general climate of an area be described with the help of the lines of latitudes ?
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe temperature decreases northwards and southwards from the equator. The region within 23 1\/2\u00b0 N and 23 1\/2\u00b0 S will get tropical climate with ample temperature and rainfall. On the other hand the regions between
\n23 1\/2\u00b0 N – 66 1\/2\u00b0 N and 23 1\/2\u00b0 S – 66 1\/2\u00b0 S will get temperate climate, while the regions known as Arctic and Antarctic circles get very cold polar climate as Tundra region.<\/p>\n

Question 12.<\/strong><\/span>
\nWhich line of longitude is used to fix the World Standard Time ? State its value in degrees.
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>

Question 14.<\/strong><\/span>
\nWhat is meant by IDL ? State its importance.
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nIDL means the International Date Line, which is along 180\u00b0 E & W. The date or day changes while crossing this line i.e. while there is Monday in the Eastern Hemisphere i.e.
\n0\u00b0 – 180\u00b0E, there will be Sunday in the Western Hemisphere i. e. 0\u00b0 – 180\u00b0 W.<\/p>\n

Question 15.<\/strong><\/span>
\nWhat are the Great Circle Routes ? State their importance.
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe Great Circle Routes follow the great circles i. e. the perimeters of the earth, which cover the shortest distances between any two places in spite of the zigzag routes along the surface of earth. These circles are beneficial for following the shortest distances between any two places and help in saving the time.
\ni. e. the shortest routes are covered in minimum time span.<\/p>\n

Question 16.<\/strong><\/span>
\nWhat is a globe ? State the importance of a globe.
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nA globe is a man-made spherical model of the earth. A globe is very useful model to display the actual shape of the earth with its tilted axis ; The rotation and revolution of the earth can be very clearly shown by it along with the continents and oceans.<\/p>\n

II. Give reasons for each of the following<\/strong><\/p>\n

Question 1.<\/strong><\/span>
\nLines of latitude carve out the heat zones of the earth.
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe Temperature goes on decreasing from the equator towards the poles. So the latitudinal zones are the actual heat zones of the earth, namely tropical, temperate and polar zones.<\/p>\n

Question 2.<\/strong><\/span>
\nLines of longitude are also called Meridians of longitude?
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe word \u2018meridian\u2019 means related to noon or 12 p.m. As every longitude receives the noon time or 12 p.m. at different intervals where the sun\u2019s rays are exactly vertical over a particular longitude. On a particular longitude the noon-time is the same from north to south ; so a longitude is also called a Meridians of longitude.<\/p>\n

Question 3.<\/strong><\/span>
\nDiametrically opposite lines of longitude and the Equator are called Great Circles.
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nEvery longitude along with its opposite longitude makes a complete circle around the earth and another complete big circle is the equator; while the latitudes make smaller circles along with the poles to be only points. So the equator and the longitudinal lines around the earth are called the Great Circles.<\/p>\n

Question 4.<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe Greenwich time is called Greenwich Mean Time.
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe time of any place or country is calculated according to the 0\u00b0 longitude or Greenwich meridian, the time change is of 4 minutes for every 0\u00b0 longitude. So it is called Greenwich Mean Time.<\/p>\n

Question 5.<\/strong><\/span>
\nIDL deviates and goes zig-zag near some Islands in the Pacific ocean.
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nIDL is not a straight line, but it deviates in order to classify some scattered Islands in a particular divisions of Hemispheres, so that the day and time can be calculated according to the line, as the natural position of the Islands is haphazard.<\/p>\n

Question 6.<\/strong><\/span>
\nA globe is the most popular model of the earth.
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nAs our earth is spherical in shape, so it can be best represented by a spherical model like a globe. A globe illustrates the position of continents and oceans, the tilted axis of the earth, its rotation, the sea and air routes etc. So a globe is a perfect model of the earth.<\/p>\n

III. Long Answer Questions\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Question 1.<\/strong><\/span>
\nDescribe the lines of latitude, their importance and use.
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe face of the earth is divided into various parallel circles with respect to the equator on both sides at different angular distances. These lines are veiy important to decide the climate and temperature range of any place or region as the temperature goes on decreasing from the equator to polewards.<\/p>\n

Question 2.<\/strong><\/span>
\nWith reference to the International Date Line, state the following:<\/p>\n

(a)<\/strong> It is meaning and application.
\n(b)<\/strong> The important deviations it makes and reasons for the same.
\n(c)<\/strong> Give an example of how time lost or gained is computed with reference to this line.<\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

(a)<\/strong> The time and date changes as we cross the International Date Line i.e. the navigators or pilots have to loose one day while crossing westwards and gain one day while crossing eastwards i.e. When one travels from Tokyo to San Francisco on Monday, he will reach San Francisco on Sunday.
\n(b)<\/strong> The International Date Line is not a straight line but have some deviations in order to adjust with the pattern of the landforms and some islands to decide for the time and date of these places and regions.
\n(c)<\/strong> If we are moving from Hawaii Islands towards Shanghai on Tuesday, we will reach there on Wednesday or Thursday probably, but if we are going eastwards from Shangai to Hawaii islands on Tuesday. We may reach there either on Tuesday or Monday.<\/p>\n

Question 3.<\/strong><\/span>
\nDescribe the lines of longitude and state their use in relation to distance and time.
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nA longitude is the angular distance of a place east or we\u00a7t of the Prime Meridian or 0\u00b0 longitude.
\nThe lines of longitude are the great semi-circles joining North pole and South pole and are equal in length. These are 0\u00b0 – 180\u00b0E and 0\u00b0 – 180\u00b0W longitudes or total 360\u00b0. As the earth takes 24 hours to make a complete rotation along its axis crossing 360\u00b0 lines of longitude, so earth takes nearly 4 minutes to move one degree (1 \u00b0) longitude or 111 km length or distance. There is difference of time of one hour between 15\u00b0 interval of longitudes. According to the clock-time, EGA stands for East-Gain-Add and WLS means West Lose Subtract. In other words for each 10 longitude towards east 4 minutes are to be added and towards west for each 1\u00b0 longitude 4 minutes are to be subtracted.<\/p>\n

Question 4.<\/strong><\/span>
\nMake a detailed study of finding time with the help of longitudes. Give one practical example.
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nIndian Standard Time is based on 82 1\/2\u00b0 E longitude. So if the time in India is 12 noon, so it will be 6.30 A.M. in England or GMT. The time difference between 0\u00b0 and 82 1\/2\u00b0 E will be 82.5 \u00d7 4 – 330 minutes or 330 \u00f7 60 = 5 1\/2 hours. So there is difference of 5 1\/2 hours between India and England, as England lies in the west, so the time will be 5 1\/2 hours less than India.<\/p>\n

IV. Problem Solving<\/strong><\/p>\n

An Example:<\/strong>
\nA cricket match was to be held at Birmingham at 9 a.m. local time. The position of Birmingham is 5\u00b0 W. Calculate the time the viewers have to tune their television in Sydney 151\u00b0E.
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe local time at Birmingham is 9 am.
\nThe location of Birmingham is 5\u00b0 W of Prime Meridian.
\nThe GMT would be 9:20 a.m.
\n[9.00hrs + (5\u00b0 \u00d7 4min) = 9.00hrs + 20 min = 9.20 a.m. Sydney is located at 151 \u00b0E of Prime Meridian
\nAt any point of time Sydney would be 151 \u00d7 4 = 604 min = 10 hrs 4 min ahead of GMT (Sydney is to the East of the Prime Meridian so local time would be ahead of GMT)
\nWhen it is 9:20 a.m. GMT the local time at Sydney would be (9:20 + 10:04) 19:24 hrs or 7:24 p.m.
\nin order to watch the Brimingham match at Sydney the viewers would have to tune their televisions at 7:24 p.m. local time.<\/p>\n

Answer the following questions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Question 1.<\/strong><\/span>
\nAn important programme was to be broadcast from Mumbai at 7.30 p.m. This was heard by some Indian sailors near Ivory Coast in West Africa at 20\u00b0W longitude. What was the local time there ?
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nAccording to the Indian Standard Time 7.30 p.m. based on 82 1\/2\u00b0 E. Longitude was the time at Mumbai. The longitudinal difference between Mumbai and Ivory Coast at 20\u00b0 W is 82.5 + 20 = 102.5. So 102.5 \u00d7 4 = 410.0 minutes = 6 hours 50 minutes, i.e. the time will be 6 hours 50 minutes less than 7.30 p.m. So the time will be 12.40 p.m<\/p>\n

Question 2.<\/strong><\/span>
\nWhat is the longitude of a place where the local time 1:15 p.m. when it is 4 a.m. at Chicago (88\u00b0W) ?
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe time difference between the two places is 9 hours and 15 minutes or 540 + 15 = 555 minutes So the longitudinal difference will be 555\/4 = 138.75\u00b0 degrees. So the longitude of the required place will be 50\u00b0 45′ E i.e. it will cover 88\u00b0 from west to 0\u00b0 and 50\u00b0 45 east from 0\u00b0 or Greenwich line.<\/p>\n

Question 3.<\/strong><\/span>
\nCalculate the time at Durban (longitude 30\u00b0E) when the time is 7.00 a.m. at New York (75\u00b0W).
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe longitudinal difference between Durban and New York is 30\u00b0 + 75\u00b0= 105\u00b0, so the time will be 105 x 4 = 420 minutes ahead from New York. There is the difference of 420 minutes or 7 hours, or 2 p.m.<\/p>\n

Question 4.<\/strong><\/span>
\nCalculate the longitude of a place where the local time is 6.00 a.m., when the time is 9.00 p.m. at New Delhi on longitude 77\u00b0 E.
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe time difference between the required place and New Delhi is 6 + 9 = 15 hours, so the time in minutes =15 \u00d7 60 = 900 minutes So the longitudinal difference = 900\/4 = 225\u00b0. So the place will be in the west 225\u00b0 – 77\u00b0 = 148\u00b0 W.<\/p>\n

Question 5.<\/strong><\/span>
\nCalculate the local time at Singapore (104\u00b0E) when it is 6.00 p.m. at Greenwich.
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe longitudinal difference at Singapore and Greenwich is 104\u00b0, so the time difference is 104 \u00d7 4 = 416 minutes i.e. 6 hours 56 minutes. So the time at Singapore will be 12.56 a.m.<\/p>\n

Question 6.<\/strong><\/span>
\nCalculate the location of a place where the local time is noon when it is 7.30 p.m. at Greenwich.
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nTime difference is 12 – 7.30 = 4.30 or 4 hours 30 minutes = 240 + 30 = 270 minutes So the longitudinal difference is 270\/4 = 67.5\u00b0. So the longitude is 67.5\u00b0W or 67 1\/2\u00b0 W.<\/p>\n

Question 7.<\/strong><\/span>
\nWhat is the time and day at Mumbai (73\u00b0E) when it is Sunday 10.30 p.m. at Shillong (92\u00b0E) ?
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe longitudinal difference is 92\u00b0 – 73\u00b0 = 19\u00b0. So the time difference is 19 x 4 = 76 minutes or 1 hours 16 minutes or the time at Mumbai is 9.14 p.m.<\/p>\n

\n(c)<\/strong> What is the difference between Prime Meridian and other meridians of longitude ?
\n(d)<\/strong> Explain how latitudes and longitudes help to determine the position of a place on the globe ?
\n(e)<\/strong> Explain how the longitude of a place affects the time.<\/p>\n

OR<\/strong>
\nState the rate of change of time with longitude.
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

(a)<\/strong> Longitude is the distance of a place east and west of the Prime Meridian along a parallel of latitude. This distance is measured in degrees.
\nWhen we say that the Longitude of Delhi is 77\u00b0 East, we mean that Delhi lies East of the Prime Meridian and its distance from the Prime Meridian is 77\u00b0
\nThe Longitude of a place can be determined by comparing its Local Time with Greenwich Time. Greenwich Time can be known either by radio or by means of a watch which keeps Greenwich Time. Captains of ships generally use a Chronometer for this purpose. A Chronometer is a time piece which keeps accurate time and which is not affected by change in temperature. Now suppose that when it is 2 p.m. at Greenwich, another place shows 5 p.m. The difference between the times of two places is 3 hours, that is 180 minutes. Thus the place is =180 \/ 4 = 45\u00b0 away from the Prime Meridian and since its time is ahead of Greenwich. Its longitude will be 45\u00b0 East.
\n(b)<\/strong> The Prime (or First) Meridian is the meridian from which longitude is measured. It is numbered. 0\u00b0 longitude. It is the meridian which passes through Greenwich (near London). Thus the Prime Meridian is also called Greenwich line.
\n(c)<\/strong> Other meridians of longitude are the lines which join all places having the same angular distance, east or west, of the Prime Meridian.
\n(d)<\/strong> The intersection of latitude and longitude points out the exact position of a place on the earth\u2019s surface. For example London is situated at 51\u00b030’N (latitude) and 0.5 W (longitude). With the help of these intersecting lines, it is convenient to locate the position of London on the map. Actually, latitude and longitude are both imaginary lines drawn on a map or a globe in order to locate the position of a place or a region on the earth\u2019s surface.
\n(e)<\/strong> As the Earth rotates from west to east about its own axis, the zone of illumination moves slowly towards the west. This accounts for variation in the time of Sunrise and Sunset at different places on the Earth. The Earth takes 24 hours to complete one rotation. This means that 360 degrees of longitude are covered in a period of 24 hours. This gives rise to a time difference of [24 \u00d7 60\/360] or 4 minutes for 1\u00b0 of longitude. The time difference is to be added in case of places to the east of a point. In case of places to the west, the time difference is to be subtracted. It is possible to calculate the time at a given place A from the time recorded at B and the longitude difference between stations A and B.<\/p>\n

Question 23.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

(a)<\/strong> What is \u201cGreenwich Mean Time\u201d ?
\n(b)<\/strong> How far is it correct to say that local time is the Sun time ?
\n(c)<\/strong> How can you say that the use of \u2018Local Time\u2019 is very inconvenient nowadays in practical life ?
\n(d)<\/strong> Why do some countries have many time zones ?<\/p>\n

OR<\/strong>
\nWhat are \u2018Time Zones\u2019 ?
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

(a)<\/strong> Greenwich Mean Time (GMT):- It is based on 0\u00b0 longitude of a place of this name near London. GMT is adopted uniformly by all countries to keep time. It forms the basis of fixing Time Zones.
\n(b)<\/strong> When the Sun reaches the highest point in the sky, while crossing the meridian of any place, it is mid-day or 12.00 noon at that place. If watches are adjusted according to this time, then it will be known as local time. But the highest position of the sun can be found only on a sunny day. Therefore it is correct to say that local time is the Sun-time.
\n(c)<\/strong> Use of Local time is very inconvenient now-a-days in practical life, because if we have to travel through many countries, it will be convenient to us to follow one particular standard time, according to which we can set our watches with respect to a particular country and its standard time with reference to Greenwich or Prime Meridian (0\u00b0 Longitude) to bring about international uniformity. This is known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The Indian Standard time is 5 hrs 30 minutes ahead of GMT.
\n(d)<\/strong> Large countries like Russia, Canada and the United States have vast longitudinal extent. They do not have a single Standard Time for the whole Country. They have many time zones, with each time zone covering about 15\u00b0 of longitude. The erstwhile Soviet Union had 11 times zones to cover 165\u00b0 of longitudinal extent. Canada and the United States have five time zones extending from the Atlantic coast of the Pacific coast. There is time difference of five hours between the two coasts.<\/p>\n

Question 24.<\/strong><\/span>
\nGive reasons for the following :<\/strong><\/p>\n

(a)<\/strong> There are no latitudes higher than 90\u00b0N and 90\u00b0S.
\n(b)<\/strong> The opposite meridians of longitude form a Great Circle.
\n(c)<\/strong> Local time is a theoretical reality, while Standard Time is a practical necessity.
\n(d)<\/strong> \u201cThe International Date Line is not a straight line coinciding with longitude 180 degrees.\u201d Why ?
\n(e)<\/strong> The distance between two consecutive meridian, is equal to about 111 kilometres only at the equator.
\n(f)<\/strong> When it is noon at Cairo (30\u00b0E), the local time in New York (75\u00b0W) is 5.00 a.m.
\n(g)<\/strong> All parallel other than equator are not Great Circles.
\n(h)<\/strong> A person, travelling from Mumbai to London, alters the time on his watch at several places.<\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

(a)<\/strong> The total circumference of a circle is 360\u00b0 and the distance between the Equator and the North Pole is one-fourth of the circumference i.e. 90\u00b0. So we have 90 latitudes towards north and 90 towards south, which are denoted as 90\u00b0 N and 90\u00b0 S respectively.
\n(b)<\/strong> The opposite meridians of longitude form a Great circle because by each of them the world is divided into two equal parts
\n(c)<\/strong> Local time may differ from place to place. Therefore, it is only a theoretic reality. On the other hand, standard time is the same for a particular country. It is a practical necessity for the sake of uniformity of time.
\n(d)<\/strong> The International Date Line passes through the Pacific ocean where there are no land masses. It follows 180\u00b0 meridian for most of its distance. The date line is zig-zag in some places to avoid the confusion of time on the same island. It avoids some islands and deviates from 180\u00b0. In Northern Hemisphere, it bends to the West of 180\u00b0 while in the Southern Hemisphere it bends Eastwards.
\n(e)<\/strong> The circumference of the Earth is approximately 40,000 km. It covers ah angle of 360 degrees. The distance between two consecutive parallels of latitude is everywhere the same. This is because lines of latitude are parallel lines. Therefore one degree of latitude. = 40,000\/360 = 111km (approximately.)
\nOn the other hand, the distance between two consecutive meridians of longitude is 111 km only at the equator and gradually decreases with distance from the equator. This is because the meridians of longitude converge at the two poles.
\n(f)<\/strong>
\n\"ICSE
\nLongitude of Cairo = 30\u00b0 E
\nLongitude of New York = 75\u00b0 W
\nDifference in Longitude = 30\u00b0 + 75\u00b0 = 105\u00b0
\n(Add because Cairo is in the East of Greenwich and New York is in the West of Greenwich).
\n\u2234 Difference in time = 105 \u00d7 4 = 420 minutes = 7 hours
\nAs New York is situated in the West of Greenwich, its local time will be behind that of Cairo. So we subtract.
\n\"ICSE
\n(h)<\/strong> it is because of change in longitude at several places<\/p>\n

Question 25.<\/strong><\/span>
\nWhat do you mean by the Latitude of place ?
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nLatitude is the distance of a place north or south of the equator along a meridian. This distance is measured in degree. When we say that the Latitude of Delhi is 28-j North, we mean that Delhi lies North of the equator and its distance from the equator is 28 1\/2.<\/p>\n

Question 26.<\/strong><\/span>
\nHow are Latitudes measured ?
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe latitude of a place is the angular distance of the point north or south of the equator measured in degrees. The equator is taken as 0\u00b0 latitude. Latitudes are measured from 0 \u00b0 to 90\u00b0 N and 0\u00b0 to 90\u00b0 S. The distance from the equator to 90\u00b0 N covers a distance of 1\/4 of the circumference of the Earth or 140,000 km. One degree of latitude is equivalent to the length of about 111 km or 69 miles.<\/p>\n

Question 27.<\/strong><\/span>
\nExplain why the lines of longitude are called meridians of longitude ?
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
\nLines of longitude are lines which join all places having the same angular distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. All lines of longitude are semicircles of equal length. Lines of longitude are also called Meridians because all places along a lines of longitude experience mid-day at the same time.<\/p>\n

Question 28.<\/strong><\/span>
\nState two properties of lines of latitude.
\nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The length of the lines of latitudes decrease with distance from the equator.<\/li>\n
  2. All lines of latitude are circles parallel to the equator.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Question 29.<\/strong><\/span>
    \nState two properties of lines of longitude.
    \nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. The distance between two consecutive longitude decreases gradually with distance from the equator.<\/li>\n
    2. All lines of longitude are semicircles of equal length.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Question 30.<\/strong><\/span>
      \nClearly distinguish Longitude from Lines of Longitude.
      \nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
      \nLongitude is the distance of a place from the Prime Meridian while lines of longitude are lines drawn on a map or globe showing the longitude of all the places at the distance from the Prime Meridian. These lines join the north and south poles and cut the Equator at right angles.<\/p>\n

      Question 31.<\/strong><\/span>
      \nWhat do you mean by \u201cMeridians or Lines of Longitude\u201d ?
      \nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
      \nThe other set of lines join the north and south poles and cuts the equator at right angles. These lines are called Lines of Longitude or Meridians. The total number of such lines, if drawn 1\u00b0 apart, is 360\u00b0 – 180\u00b0 East and 180\u00b0 West of the Prime Meridian. It should be noted that 180\u00b0 East and 180\u00b0 West in the same lines.<\/p>\n

      Question 32.<\/strong><\/span>
      \nWhat is the latitude of :<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Equator<\/li>\n
      2. North Pole<\/li>\n
      3. South Pole<\/li>\n
      4. Tropic of Cancer<\/li>\n
      5. Tropic of Capricorn<\/li>\n
      6. Arctic Circle<\/li>\n
      7. Antarctic circle ? Also give their characteristics.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Answer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Latitude of Equator The latitude of the equator is 0\u00b0. Here the days and nights are equal throughout the year and the rays of the sun fall exactly vertically at noon on March 21 and September 23.<\/li>\n
        2. Latitude of North Pole The latitude of the North pole is 90\u00b0 North because it is situated north of the Equator at a distance of a quarter of the circumference of the earth. Here days and nights are of six-months duration.<\/li>\n
        3. Latitude of South Pole Latitude of the south pole is 90\u00b0 south, because it is situated South of Equator at a distance of a quarter of the circumference of the earth. Here the days and night are of six months duration.<\/li>\n
        4. The Latitude of the Tropic of Cancer is 23 1\u00b0\/2 North. Here the rays of the sun fall vertically at noon on June 21.<\/li>\n
        5. The Latitude of the Tropic of Capricorn is 23 1\u00b0\/2 South.
          \nHere the rays of the sun fall vertically at noon on December 22.<\/li>\n
        6. The Latitude of the Arctic Circle is 66 1\u00b0\/2 North. Here once the year (June 21) the day is of 24 hours duration and once in the year (December 22) the night is of 24 hours duration.<\/li>\n
        7. The Latitude of the Antarctic Circle is 66 1\u00b0\/2 South. Here once in the year (December 22nd) the day is of 24 hours duration and once in year (June 21) the night is of 24 hours duration.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Question 33.<\/strong><\/span>
          \nWhat adjustment has to be made when ships cross the International Date Line ?
          \nOR<\/strong>
          \nExplain why a day appears to be lost in sailing round the world from east to west and gained when travelling from west to east.
          \nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
          \nThe earth rotates on its axis from west to east, hence places in the east have their sun rise earlier than places in the west. Now if a man travels round the world from east to west, for every degree of longitude covered; he will have to set back his watch by four minutes. Thus after covering 360\u00b0when he returns to the place from where he started he will have to set back his watch 360 x 4 \/ 60 = 24 hrs. Thus he will appear to have lost a day. When Francis Drake returned to England after circumnavigating the globe, he thought it was Saturday, where as actually it was Sunday. The reason was that he had traveled from east to west, and had under calculated a day. On the other hand if a man travels from west to east, for every degree of longitude covered he will put forward his watch by four minutes and for 360\u00b0 he will forward it 24 hrs. When he returns to the place from where he started he will appear to have gained a day. When Cap. Basil Hailed reached Manila after circumnavigating the globe, he thought it was Monday; where as actually it was Sunday. The reason was that he had traveled from west to east and had over calculated a day.<\/p>\n

          Question 34.<\/strong><\/span>
          \nDefine Equator. What is its main function ?
          \nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
          \nEquator is the parallel of zero degree latitude. It is an imaginary circle round the Earth bisecting it into halves i.e. Northern * Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. It serves as reference line for the location of different places on the earth.<\/p>\n

          Question 35.<\/strong><\/span>
          \nWhat will be local time at Delhi 77\u00b0 E longitude when is 3 p.m. at Tokyo 139\u00b0E longitude ?
          \nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
          \nLongitude of Delhi = 77\u00b0E
          \nLongitude of Tokyo = 139\u00b0E
          \nDifference per degree – 139\u00b0- 77\u00b0 = 62\u00b0
          \nDifference of time per degree = 4 minutes , Difference between the time of Delhi and Tokyo = 4 \u00d7 62 = 248 minutes = 4 hours 8 minutes
          \nSince Delhi lies west of Tokyo we shall subtract 4 hours 8 minutes from Tokyo time. Hence local time at Delhi is 10.52 a.m.<\/p>\n

          Question 36.<\/strong><\/span>
          \nWhat will be the local time at Madras 80\u00b0E ? When it is 9 P.M. at New York 74\u00b0 W ?
          \nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
          \nLongitude of Madras = 80\u00b0 E
          \nLongitude of New York = 74\u00b0 W
          \nDifference in Degrees = 80\u00b0 + 74\u00b0 = 154\u00b0
          \nDifference in time per degree = 4 minutes
          \nDifference between the times of two places = 40 x 154 = 616 = 10 hour 16 minutes
          \nSince Madras lies East of New York, we shall add 10 hours 16 minutes to the local time of New York. The local time at Madras will therefore, be 7.16 A.M. next morning.<\/p>\n

          Question 37.<\/strong><\/span>
          \n\u201cThe degree of longitude decreases in length poleward\u201d. Why?
          \nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
          \nEquator is the longest parallel on the Earth. All other parallels become shorter polewards due to spherical shape of the Earth. So the meridians near the poles have a narrow space. One degree of longitude is the longest at the equator (111 km) at 45\u00b0 latitude it is 79 km, at 60\u00b0 latitude it is 55 km and at poles, it is zero km.<\/p>\n

          Question 38.<\/strong><\/span>
          \nWhat is the relation between longitude and time ?
          \nOr
          \n\u201cThere is a difference of 4 minutes of time for one degree of longitude\u201d. Why ?
          \nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
          \nThere is a close relation between longitude and time. The Earth makes one complete rotation of 360 degrees in 24 hours. It passes through 15 degrees is one hour or one degree in four minutes. Thus, there is a difference of 4 minutes of time for one degree of longitude. As the Earth moves from West to East, the places East of Greenwich gain time whereas the places West of Greenwich loose time.<\/p>\n

          Question 39.<\/strong><\/span>
          \n\u201cLines of latitude are called parallels of latitude\u201d Why?
          \nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
          \nLines of latitudes join the places of same latitude. These are circles drawn round the earth, parallel to the equator. Therefore, these are called parallels of latitude.

          Question 40.<\/strong><\/span>
          \nA ship crossing international date line at mid-night on Wednesday Eastwards, find that it is mid-night Tuesday on American side. Why ?
          \nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
          \nA ship crossing international date line from West to East gains a day. It repeats a day. A day is subtracted from the calendar. So when it is Wednesday mid-night on Asiatic side, it is Tuesday midnight on the American side.<\/p>\n

          Question 41.<\/strong><\/span>
          \nMid-days Sun can be seen overhead in Chennai twice a year, but not even once in Delhi. Why ?
          \nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
          \nTropic of Cancer is the Northernmost limit of overhead Sun. Sun\u2019s rays do not fall vertical beyond 23 1\/2\u00b0 N latitude. Delhi is located North of Tropic of Cancer, so the Sun is never overhead at Delhi. But Chennai has overhead Sun twice a year.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. When the Sun moves northward, from equator to Tropic of Cancer, the Sun is overhead at Chennai.<\/li>\n
          2. When the Sun shifts from Tropic of Cancer to equator, then again Chennai has overhead Sun.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Question 42.<\/strong><\/span>
            \nExplain why there is no higher latitude other than 90\u00b0 N and 90\u00b0 S.
            \nAnswer:<\/strong><\/span>
            \nLatitude is the angular distance from the plane of the equator. All of surfaces (planes) or circles make a maximum angle of 90\u00b0 from the plane of the equator. Therefore, maximum latitude is 90\u00b0 N in the Northern Hemisphere and 98\u00b0 Southern Hemisphere.<\/p>\n
