The altitude of Polaris measured by an observer at the Tropic of Cancer is 1) 15° 2) 23.5° 3) 66.5° 4) 90°
9966 [12]

Answer: 23.5\°

Explanation:

The Tropic of Cancer is one of the parallels (imaginary line around the Earth parallel to the equator) located in the northern hemisphere (currently its latitude is 23.43672\° \approx 23.5\°).

It is called "Cancer" because a long time ago, when the summer solstice occurred in the northern hemisphere (on June 20th or 21st), the Sun was in the constellation Cancer (the crab).

Now, if we were just in the North Pole, Polaris would by exactly over our heads (90\° over the horizon), but as we go south and find the Tropic of Cancer parallel, Polaris altitude will be approximately at an angle of 23.5\° over the horizon.

Hence, the altitude of Polaris measured by an observer at the Tropic of Cancer is 23.5\°.

What would happen to the environment of Southeast Asia if the standard of living improved very quickly? Explain.
miv72 [106K]

Answer

<u>A rapid improvement in standard of living can mean rapid economic growth with increased population in towns resulting to damaged environment in form of pollution.</u>

Explanation

When the standard of living is associated with rapid growth of the economy, a common scenario is migration of people to urban areas to work and operate businesses. The urban areas will experience increased populations with inadequate housing. The environment will be suppressed because more forests will be cleared to give out spaces for new housing projects. In addition to that, the pollution levels will increase because more wastes will be generated.
