A Great Circle is any circle that circumnavigates the Earth and passes through the center of the Earth. A great circle always divides the Earth in half, thus the Equator is a great circle (but no other latitudes) and all lines of longitude are great circles. The most famous use of great circles in geography is for navigation because they represent the shortest distance between two points on a sphere. Due to the earth's rotation, sailors and pilots using great circle routes must constantly adjust their route as the heading changes over long distances.

Fire was very important to hunter-gatherer societies. For one, it let them cook their food, making it safe to eat. Fire also kept them warm, protected them from danger and provided light at nighttime, so they could keep working on chores, like cooking, setting up tents or sewing clothes, even after dark.

The spinning of the Earth around its axis is called ‘rotation’. The axis has an angle of 2312∘ and is perpendicular to the plane of Earth’s orbit. Which means, Earth is tilted on its axis, and because of this tilt, the northern and southern hemispheres lean in a direction away from the Sun. The rotation of the Earth divides it into a lit-up half and a dark half, which gives rise to day and night.

As Earth rotates, the Moon's gravity causes the oceans to seem to rise and fall. (The Sun also does this, but not as much.) There is a little bit of friction between the tides and the turning Earth, causing the rotation to slow down just a little. The earth rotates once every 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.09053 seconds, called the sidereal period, and its circumference is roughly 40,075 kilometers. Thus, the surface of the earth at the equator moves at a speed of 460 meters per second--or roughly 1,000 miles per hour.

Lines of latitude and longitude form an imaginary grid that covers the globe. Such a network of parallels and meridians is known as the graticule. The combination of latitude and longitude angles comprises the geographic coordinates of a point on the surface of the earth, and allows for the specification of its position. When specifying the coordinates of a point latitude is written before longitude.

The rich heritage of diversity in India adds variety to our life and enriches our lives in many ways:
- Diversity teaches us to be open-minded and tolerant as we learn many things from each other and share our experiences.
- We celebrate different festivals together and learn different languages, cultures etc. This kind of diversity helps us evolve as better human beings because we respect people with different religious beliefs, viewpoints, tastes, customs, and cultures.
- However, we stand together as Indians despite all these cultural differences. We share the same national symbols, virtues and feelings. A sense of friendship and unity develops and it brings harmony and prosperity.

Parallels are another name for lines of latitude. You will see that these lines do not converge, or come together, anywhere on the globe. We call these parallels because they are always an equal distance apart. The first parallel is the equator. It is latitude 0. Latitude measures distance north and south from the Equator. Parallels are lines that circle the globe.

Discrimination happens when people act on their prejudices or stereotypes. If you do something to put other people down, if you stop them from liking part in certain activities and taking up jobs, or stop them from living it. certain neighbour-hoods, prevent them front taking water from the same well or hand pump, or not allow them to drink tea in the same cups or glasses as others, you are discriminating against them. When we fix people into one image we create a stereotype. When people say that those who belong to a particular country, religion, ***, race or economic background are "stingy", "lazy," "criminal" or "dumb," they are using stereotypes. They are stingy and generous people every- where, in every country, in every religion, in every group whether rich or poor, male or female. And just because some people are like that it is not fair to think that everyone will be the same. Stereotypes stop us from looking at each person as a unique individual with his or her own special qualities and skills that are different from others.

Prejudice is forming a negative opinion about a person or a group. These opinions are not based on facts or experiences. A negative opinion never helps us to form an open-minded opinion.

Diversity means "variety" and "being different". It is a product of different geography, culture and history. Diversity is more than just tolerating the differences. It is respecting and understanding the varying differences among individuals in society.
