What are the units used to subdivide lines latitude and longitude?
The lines don't need to be subdivided. The units of latitude and longitude do,because the degree is a large unit on the Earth's surface. Since latitude andlongitude are angles, you need smaller angle units, to be able to indicate smallfractions of degrees.You can use degrees, minutes, and seconds, if you have an emotional need topunish yourself, or you can use the much simpler decimal degrees. It's easy toconvert the numbers from one system to the other; that's just arithmetic.
What happens if air bubbles present in potometer?
you can tell how much water has been taken up by measuring the distance the air bubble has moved. You calculate the time taken for the bubble to move this distance as well as the cross sectional area of the capillary tubing!
How if too much is taken from the earth?
There are many things that can happen when too much of anything is taken from the Earth. If too much fresh water is taken from the Earth, animals wont be able to survive.
What is the point called at which lines of latitude and longitude cross?
The point at which lines of latitude and longitude intersect is called a geographic coordinate, or specifically a geographical point. This point is commonly represented in degrees of latitude and longitude, giving a precise location on Earth.
What is located at 40 degrees 5 minutes north and 22 degrees 21 minutes west?
Not much. That point is in the Atlantic Ocean, about 240 miles northeast of Ponta Delgada in the Azores,and 710 miles west-northwest of Lisbon.Here's a thought: I see that the question was added to the category "Greece". Could it have beenmis-typed ? What if the longitude was supposed to be "east" instead of "west" ? So I went andlooked at the corresponding point.If the longitude is 'east', then the point is in northeast Greece. Ah ha ! It's Mytikas, "The Nose" ...the summit of Mount Olympus !Unfortunately, the climber who placed this question on WikiAnswers will never be rescued,since he carelessly entered his longitude wrong, and sent the rescuers to the Atlantic, about2,300 miles west of his actual position.
