[Answer] 5. The official position of the island of Taiwan is given as 23� 46' N and 121� 00' E. Given this, which of these lines of latitude passes through the centre of the island?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "5. The official position of the island of Taiwan is given as 23� 46' N and 121� 00' E. Given this, which of these lines of latitude passes through the centre of the island?"

...1. Antarctic Circle 2. Equator 3. Tropic of Cancer 4. Arctic Circle These lines of latitude mark zones on the earth which are determined by the changes in the sun's apparent motion due to the inclination of the earth's axis of rotation in relation to the plane of its orbit around the sun. The Tropic of Cancer (north of the Equator) and the Tropic of Capricorn (to the south) are located at about 23�, and mark the extremities of the zone in which the sun is ever directly overhead at noon. (The exact location of the lines changes very slowly over time, as the earth's inclination is not fixed.) On the tropics, this happens only once a year, on the day of the summer solstice. The polar Circles (Arctic in the north, Antarctic in the south) mark the edge of the circumpolar region in which there is a period of 24-hour daylight (in the summer) and one of 24-hour night (in the winter). They currently lie at a latitude of around 66.5�. Because the Tropic of Cancer runs through the centre of the island, its southern half is technically tropical, and the northern half is technically sub-tropical. The northern part of the island has a monsoonal weather pattern, with heavy rain from January through March, and again around May, when a stationary front usually forms in the region, until the subtropical ridge develops sufficiently to move the front further north for the summer.
