Question

1. The horizontal straight line across the map's mid-section represents the equator.
Longitude is measured in 15° intervals. Latitude is measured in 10° intervals. In
Figure 4A-1, the expansive regions of the ocean in red represent areas where
evaporation exceeds precipitation by 4 mm/day. This region is centered at about
°N and S.

Freshwater Flux between Ocean and Atmosphere
Figure 4A-1 is the climatological annual mean freshwater flux, or global
distribution of evaporation (E) minus precipitation (P), or E – P in millimeter per
day (mm/d) over ocean areas. The figure is from the Committee on Earth
Observation satellites (2009) via NASA.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Inorder to identify a location of a point on the Earth surface, coordinate system is used. In these two numbers, known as coordinates are used to identify the location. These two numbers are latitude and longitude. These are angles which distinctively define points on the Earth.
