1. Question
As one moves from Equator towards Poles, one will observe:
- Decrease in length of longitudes.
- Decrease in altitude.

Which of the above statements is/are incorrect?
Correct
Solution: b)
Longitude is measured by imaginary lines that run around the Earth vertically (up and down) and meet at the North and South Poles. These lines are known as meridians. The meridians of longitude converge at the poles. Unlike the parallels of latitude, longitudes are all equal in length.
Altitude is the height of a place over sea level. Altitude has no correlation with latitude or longitude of a place.
As longitudes converge towards the poles, the distance between the longitudes decreases pole wards.
