The Eastern Empire managed to divert the Visigoths into Italy, thus shoving the problem onto the Western Empire, which responded to this threat by pulling troops from the Rhine frontier. This triggered a pattern of events much like the cycle of anarchy in the third century C.E., only this time, no Aurelian or Diocletian emerged to save the Empire.
Because latitude runs from the equator to one or the other of the poles, 90 degrees. That's one-fourth of a full circle around the globe. Longitude starts at Greenwich, Englanâ¦d and runs, to the west or to the east, to the International Date Line (in the Pacific Ocean), 180 degrees.
The technical definition of latitude is the angular distance north or south from the earthâs equator measured through 90 degrees. Lines of latitude form circles around the earth, with 0 degrees latitude being at the equator and 90Â° latitude representing the poles. For example, Miami, Florida, is located at approximately 26 degrees North latitude while New York, New York, is located at approximately 41 degrees North latitude.
