Which of the following latitudinal and longitudinal extent of places is located in the Northern and Western hemisphere ? *
Answers
Answer:
Latitude
While lines of latitude run across a map east-west, the latitude indicates the north-south position of a point on earth.
Lines of latitude start at 0 degrees at the equator and end at 90 degrees at the North and South Poles (for a total to 180 degrees of latitude). Therefore, the higher the value of degree of latitude, the closer it is to the North or South Pole.
Longitude
Longitude lines run north-south and mark the position east-west of a point. Therefore, latitude is the angular distance east or west of the Prime Meridian.
Lines of longitude run from pole to pole, crossing the equator at right angles. All lines of longitude are equal in length. Each line of longitude also is one half of a great circle.
There are 360 degrees of longitude (+180° eastward and −180° westward.).The longitude line of 0 degrees is known as the Prime Meridian and it divides the world into the Eastern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere.
