Sixty Degrees North: Around the World in Search of Home

Product Information

Wind is deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.

The pressure belts are associated with typical weather conditions, and the prevailing winds lead to seasonal climatic changes in many places on Earth. All low-pressure areas are associated with high precipitation (one of the reasons rainforests are found along the Equator), and all high-pressure areas are associated with arid climates (most deserts of the world are found in this zone). What Causes Global Wind Patterns? If you want to get coordinates in DMS, take only the integer - these are the minutes. Go to the third point.

The map shows 22 cities that are within two and a half degrees of the equator. You can find them by using the grouping function in the lower left corner of the map. Choose “Near Latitude” and then choose the 5 to -10 range. Or, search the map for “0” and choose “0 (Near Latitude).”

To find the gps coordinates of your current location, you must give us permission to access your geolocation information. You should To specify the cardinal direction, you can use letters or positive and negative numbers. For latitude, northern directions may be indicated by the letter N or a positive number, and southern directions can be marked with either the letter S or a negative value. For longitude, you can use the letter E or a positive number for the eastern direction, and the western direction can be indicated by the letter W, or a negative number. Remember - don't mix the forms! If you're using letters, values should always be positive.Latitude. The north-south location between the poles is measured by latitude lines. The North Pole is 90 degrees north, while the South Pole is 90 degrees south. The equator is defined as 0 degrees. Latitude lines are sometimes referred to as parallels since they are all parallel to one another. At 60 degrees north latitude, what sea is it? This climate zone remains under the snow throughout the year, covering from 66.5ºN to the North Pole and 66.5ºS to the South Pole. These places are extremely dry and receive very little precipitation. The amount of snowfall is also low, but melting is lower still because of the cold temperatures. As a result, the amount of ice and snow cover builds up. The activity of the Sun is also different in the Arctic Climate Zone. During the summer, it is known as the midnight sun, hovering over the horizon throughout the night during the summer. During parts of the winter, the Sun doesn't rise at all. Accordingly, "north of 60" is an expression often used for the territories, although parts of Nunavut (the islands in Hudson Bay and James Bay) are located south of the 60th parallel, and parts of Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador are located north, to the east of Hudson Bay. A 1990s TV show on CBC about life in the Northwest Territories was called North of 60.
