The areas that extend from about 66.5 to 90 degrees north and south latitudes are the polar regions known as the Arctic in the north and the Antarctic in the south. These regions experience extreme cold temperatures, long winters, and are characterized by the presence of polar ice caps and unique ecosystems adapted to cold conditions.

Why latitudes of the Earth 90 north and south?
Both latitudes of 90 degrees mark the north and south poles.
Why are there 181 lines of latitudes?
90 north latitudes + 90 south latitudes + 1 line of equator
What are the Three general regions of latitude?
The three general regions of latitude are the low latitudes, which range from the equator to approximately 23.5 degrees north and south, the middle latitudes, which range from approximately 23.5 to 66.5 degrees north and south, and the high latitudes, which extend from 66.5 degrees to the North and South Poles.
What are the regions of light and unpredictable winds at about 30 degrees North and South latitudes called?
The regions of light and unpredictable winds at about 30 degrees North and South latitudes are called the horse latitudes. These areas are known for their calm, variable winds and were historically nicknamed as such because ships would get stuck in these windless zones and have to lighten their loads by throwing horses overboard.
What does Australia's latitudes extend from?

In India latitude and longitude extend of the mainland is 30 degreebut than also east-west extend appears to be smaller than north-south extendwhy?
it is because there is much difference between latitudes than the longitudes soare between latitudes increses but the area between the logitudes is lesser in comaparison and that is why the area fron north to south is more .
What two continents extend both and south of 0 degrees latitude?

The horse latitudes are located?
At about 30 Degrees north and south latitudes.
Do you read latitudes first or longitudes first?
Latitudes, the north/south coordinates.
Why are there 181 lines of latitudes?
90 north latitudes + 90 south latitudes + 1 line of equator
Are the latitudes north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle called high middle or low latitude regions?
"High" latitudes. The equator has a latitude of zero. The area between the Tropic of Cancer (at 23.5 degrees north) and the Tropic of Capricorn (at 23.5 degrees south) are the "tropics" or low latitudes. The "polar regions" are above the Arctic Circle or below the Antarctic Circle, where the latitudes are higher than 66.5 degrees (north or south) are "high". The areas between the tropics and the arctic/antarctic are called "mid-latitudes or "temperate zones".
At what latitudes are deserts located?
30 degrees latitude north and south of the equator
