- a Navigation
10. This is formed by the intersection of spherical surface with any

- b Terrestrial Navigation poles of the earth would describe two semi-great circles which are
diametrically opposite each other. These Semi-great circles are called:
3. Our planet Earth rotates about a fixed diameter called: - c Meridians
- a Axis
12. How many meridians that can be drawn around the earth which
are space spaced at one degree from each other?
4. The extremities of the earth’s axis are known as: - a. 360
- b Earth Poles
13. How many meridians that can be drawn around the earth which

earth axis is known as: - c 21,600
- c. East
14. A meridian that passes through the original position of the Royal
6. The opposite direction which the earth’s surface is carried around Observatory is called:
the Earth’s axis is known as: - a. Greenwich Meridian or Prime Meridian
- d West
15. One half of the earth surface is called:
7. The Earth’s poles from which the Earth’s rotation would be observed - a Hemisphere
to be anti-clockwise, is known as:
- c North Pole
16. A great circle whose plane is perpendicular to the plane of all
8. The other pole from which the earth’s rotation would be observed meridians is called:
to be clockwise is known as: - a Equator

- b Northern Hemisphere
25. A ship covers a distance of 12 miles in 2 hours. Find her speed.
18. The hemisphere which covers the area of the Earth from the - a 6 knots
equator to the South Pole is called:
- a Southern Hemisphere
26. A ship covers a distance of 18 miles in 2 hours and 30 minutes. Find

called: - a 6 knots
- c Parallels of Latitude
27. At 12 knots, a ship can travel from place A to place B in 18 hours.
Find the distance between A and B.
20. How many parallels of latitude that can be drawn from the - a 216 miles
Equator to the North Pole and from the Equator to South Pole at a
distance of one degree from each other? 28. At 10 knots, a ship can travel from place A to place B in I day. Find
- a 88 parallels of Latitude the distance between A and B.
- a 240 miles
21. It is the angular distance between the meridian of Greenwich and
the meridian passing through the points which is measured from 0° to 29. How long will it take a ship to sail from Place A to place B with a
180° east or west from the Prime Meridians. distance of 120 miles if her speed is 10 knots.
- d Longitude - 12 hours

22. It is simply a drawn in a chart as any point of which the ship is

situated. 30. How long will it take a ship from place A to Place B if the distance is
- Line of Position (LOP) 240 miles and her speed is 10 knots.
- 24 hours (1 day)
23. When two lines of positions intersect. The position of the ship is at
the point of intersection. This position is called:
- b Fix Position
