What parallels run from?

Lines of Latitude (parallels) run from the Equator (0 latitude) to both the north and to the south, ascending. The northern most latitude is 90° North, and the southern most latitude is 90° South.


How many parallels at an interval of 5 degrees?

There are 36 parallels (lines of latitude) at an interval of 5 degrees from the equator to the poles. The parallels range from 0 degrees at the equator to 90 degrees at the poles, which gives a total of 18 degrees in each hemisphere. Thus, when counting both the northern and southern hemispheres, the total comes to 36.

What is the difference between the coriolis affect in the southern hemisphere and in the northern hemisphere?

The Coriolis effect is a result of the Earth's rotation, causing moving objects to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This difference in deflection influences weather patterns and ocean currents, leading to distinct rotational patterns in storm systems, such as cyclones, which spin clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere. The underlying physics remains the same, but the direction of deflection is what distinguishes the two hemispheres.


How the parallels are numbered?

Parallels are numbered using a system based on degrees of latitude, which measures the distance north or south of the Equator. The Equator is designated as 0 degrees, with the numbers increasing up to 90 degrees at the poles. Parallels are labeled in degrees, with the Northern Hemisphere marked as degrees north (N) and the Southern Hemisphere as degrees south (S). This standardized system allows for precise geographic referencing across the globe.

Washington lies between what two parallels?

Washington State lies between the latitudes of approximately 45° N and 49° N. The southern border of the state is defined by the 45th parallel, while the northern border is marked by the 49th parallel. These parallels help delineate Washington's geographic boundaries with Oregon to the south and Canada to the north.
