question 87

Multiple Choice

Rotational velocities vary at different latitudes by what range of values?

• A)from 1675 km · h⁻¹ at the equator to 0 km · h⁻¹ at the poles.
• B)from 1675 km · h⁻¹ at the poles to 0 km · h⁻¹ at the equator.
• C)because the day is 24 hours long,there is no variation in rotational values.
• D)At 45° latitude,the rotational velocity is is greatest and diminishes toward the pole and equator.
• E)from 100 km · h⁻¹ at the poles to 50 km · h⁻¹ at the equator.
