Questions come from the Bluebook question bank. Made by Iskaa303 (Iskander Madikhan).
While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
- The nautical mile (6,076 feet) is the measure of distance used in seafaring navigation.
- A nautical mile directly correlates to one minute (1/60th of a degree) of latitude.
- The curvature of Earth affects the accurate measurement of long distances when using flat maps.
- Measuring distances with latitude and longitude coordinates takes into account Earth’s curvature.
- Mariners use nautical charts marked with latitude and longitude to quickly calculate distances and positions.
The student wants to explain why nautical miles are used to measure distances in seafaring navigation. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
