### 1.4 Questions
#### 1.

#### 2.
# Brief Explanations:
Another name for a parallel is a latitude line, which is a circular line parallel to the equator.
# Answer:
Latitude line

#### 3.
# Explanation:
## Step1: Recall time zone and longitude relation
The Earth rotates 360° in 24 hours. To find the degrees per time zone, we divide the total degrees (360°) by the number of time zones (24).
## Step2: Calculate degrees per time zone
The formula is $\frac{360^{\circ}}{24}$. Calculating this, $360\div24 = 15$. So each time zone is separated by 15° of longitude.
# Answer:
15 degrees

### 1.6 Question
#### 1.
# Brief Explanations:
