Title: "Distances in the South" Wiki Page Latitude should be Longitude Typo
Post by: existoid on May 22, 2020, 09:05:53 PM

I apologize if this has been suggested before, but I believe the "Distances in the South" wiki article has a typo.
https://wiki.tfes.org/Distances_in_the_South

It reads "[The FE] proposed models predict that the lines of latitude south of the equator will either converge or diverge."  But it's the lines of longitude (the ones going north/south) that diverge (in monopole maps) and converge (in bi-polar FE maps).

I think it's just a matter of a simple typo.
