Define and identify, on a diagram of the earth: (a) great circles; - correct answer -Great circles are ones whose planes pass through the centre of the earth and splits the earth into two equal parts, lines of meridians with their anti-meridian form a great circle. The equator is also a great circle. Define and identify, on a diagram of the earth: (b) small circles; - correct answer -Small circles are circles on the surface on the earth that do not pass through the centre of the earth. Para...

If Earth had no oceans, would temperatures at the equator be hotter or colder than they are now? Temperatures would be hotter Temperatures would be colder. Temperatures would remain the same. This question can't be answered without additional information. - Answer- Temperatures would be hotter If the Earth spun on an axis that was perfectly perpendicular to the equator, then the poles would receive the same amount of solar energy as the equator. true false - Answer- false If the Ear...
