Choose the correct statements about the globe from the following :
A. Longitudes and latitudes are drawn on the globe.
B. It is tilting on its axis.
C. It is a true model of the Earth.
D. It is oval in shape.
Choose the correct option :
Answer: D
Statements A, B and C are correct, so the answer is A, B and C.
A globe has the network of latitudes and longitudes drawn on it (A). It is fixed on a needle that is tilted, like the Earth's axis, so it tilts on its axis (B). And because it is a miniature sphere, it is described in textbooks as a true model of the Earth, unlike a map, which distorts shapes and sizes (C).
Statement D is false: a globe is spherical, not oval. Every option that includes D is therefore wrong.
