    1. What is the maximum number of 1 degree longitude or latitude lines that can be drawn on a globe?
    2. Why do longitude lines converge while latitude lines do not?
    3. Amelia Earhart her flight engineer and her plane are believed to have been lost somewhere over the Pacific Ocean. It is now thought that the coordinates that she was given for her fuel stop at Howley Island in the Pacific Ocean were wrong. Knowing what you do about how latitude and longitude coordinates are written why would a wrong number have been so catastrophic for her?
