Explanation / Answer

Q.3) A parallel of latitude

Ans. d. is use to measure distances north or south of the equator.

Circles parallel to the equator are parallels of latitude. And these lines are used to measure distances north or south of the equator. Example of major parallels of latitude includes Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricon etc.

Q.4) Remote sensing involves measurement of electro-magnetic radiation emitted or reflected from objects, much as our eyes and brain measure visible light. TRUE

Remote sensing is the science of acquiring information about the Earths surface without direct contact with it. Here electro-magnetic radiation emitted or reflected from objects are detected by the sattelite. Measurment of our eyes and brain in visible light is also remote sensing as this involves acquiring information about the Earths surface without direct contact with it. So, remote sensing involves measurement of electro-magnetic radiation emitted or reflected from objects, much as our eyes and brain measure visible light is true.
