Question

1. latitude tells about the distance north or south of the:

○ equator
○ north pole
○ south pole
○ prime meridian

Explanation:

Latitude measures the distance north or south of the Equator. The Equator is the 0° latitude line, and latitudes are parallel lines that run east - west, measuring how far a location is from the Equator towards the North or South Pole. The Prime Meridian is related to longitude (measuring east - west), and the North/South Poles are the endpoints of the Earth's axis, not the reference for latitude's north - south distance measurement.

Answer:

A. Equator
