1. Your answer is correct! A circle with a star or dot in its middle usually represents the capital city of a state or country on a map. In the case of Chile, the symbol would be next to the name "Santiago," which is the capital of Chile.
To reach this answer, you need to understand common map symbols and their meanings. The circle with a star or dot in its middle typically represents a capital city, while the name next to the symbol indicates the specific capital of the country or state in question. In this case, knowing that Santiago is the capital of Chile allows you to identify the symbol correctly.
2. Your answer is correct! In general, the highest elevations are found in the Western United States.
To arrive at this answer, you need to have knowledge about the geography of the United States. Understanding that the Western United States is home to numerous mountain ranges, such as the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevada, will lead you to the correct conclusion that the highest elevations are typically found in the western region.
3. Your answer is correct! Greenland belongs to the Northern and Western Hemispheres, while New Guinea belongs to the Southern and Eastern Hemispheres.
To determine the hemisphere to which an island belongs, you need knowledge of global geography and an understanding of hemispheres. Greenland is positioned mostly in the Northern Hemisphere and partially in the Western Hemisphere, while New Guinea is situated mainly in the Southern Hemisphere and partially in the Eastern Hemisphere.
4. Your answer is correct! Lines of latitude or parallels measure distances from either side of the equator to the poles.
To identify which lines measure distances from the equator to the poles, you need to understand basic geographic concepts. Lines of latitude, also known as parallels, run parallel to the equator and provide measurements in degrees of how far north or south a specific point on the Earth's surface is located with respect to the equator. These lines are used to measure distances from the equator to the poles.
