Give a geographical reason for each of the following:

1. Great circles are the shortest routes between two places.
2. The Earth is a habitable planet.
3. Kuala Lumpur rotates faster on the Earth’s axis than London.

1. The shortest routes between two places is not the parallel latitudes but the arc of Great Circle as the arc is shortest distance between two points on the circle.
2. The Earth is a habitable planet because it has water and atmosphere(oxygen). The atmosphere keeps the earth warm and maintains the temperature of the earth.
3. Kuala Lumpur is situated near the Equator and London is situated on higher latitudes. The speed of rotation at Kuala Lumpur is much faster than that at London because as the latitude increases the speed of rotation decreases.
