Answer the following question in about 4 lines:

A. What are parallels of latitude?

Ans: Horizontal lines drawn between the north pole and the South Pole are known as latitudes and they are parallel to the equator. So they are known as parallels of latitude. The number of these lines are are 180. There are two parallels of latitudes first parallel of north pole latitudes and second parallels of South Pole latitudes.

B. What is Torrid zone?

Ans: The zone between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Tropic of Cancer is known as the Torrid zone. It is the hottest zone of the earth because the sun's rays fall on it throughout the 360 Days Of The Year. It is also known as the Tropical zone.

C. Describe the Prime Meridian in short.

Ans: Prime Meridian is an imaginary line that divides the earth into two equal hemispheres the Eastern hemisphere and the Western hemisphere. It expands 0 degrees to 180 degrees east and West. The space between two meridians at the equator is 111km. Which is the greatest.
