From the table, you can see that latitude lines are evenly spaced, approximately 111 km (69 miles) apart at any latitude. Using these values as the linear distance separating each degree of latitude, the distance between any given pair of parallels can be calculated. (Note: Locations must be due north-south of each other.) For example, Denver is approximately 40° north of the equator (arc distance). The linear distance between Denver and the equator can be calculated as follows:
40° N to 0° = 40° x 111 km/1° = 4440 km or 40° N to 0° = 40° x 69 miles/1° = 2760 miles Using these same values for a degree of latitude and an atlas for city location, calculate the linear distance in kilometers and miles between the following sets of points (along a meridian): a) Mumbai, India, and the equator b) Miami, Florida, and 10° south latitude c) Edinburgh, Scotland, and 5° north

Judge the following sentences according to the criteria given below. A student disputes the process of mantle convection. They argue that rock is solid and cannot flow
They challenge their classmates to provide evidence for present day mantle convection. A classmate shows them a seismic tomographic map and cross section showing variations in S-wave velocities. A) The seismic tomographic map and cross section do show evidence for present day mantle convection and offers a strong affirmation of mantle convection. B) The seismic tomographic map and cross section do show evidence present day mantle convection but this data cannot be used as evidence for mantle convection. C) The seismic tomographic map and cross section has a random pattern of S-wave velocities and offers no evidence for anything. D) The seismic tomographic map and cross section shows evidence for mantle convection in the past but not for present day mantle convection.
