Question 1 Report

The positions of two countries P and Q are (15°N, 12°E) and (65°N, 12°E) respectively. What is the difference in latitude?

Answer Details
Latitude is a measure of the north-south position of a point on the Earth's surface, measured in degrees from the Equator. In this case, country P is located at 15°N and country Q is located at 65°N. To find the difference in latitude between the two countries, we simply subtract the latitude of P from the latitude of Q: Difference in latitude = 65°N - 15°N = 50°N Therefore, the answer is 50°.
