Answer:
1. The length of latitude slowly decreases towards the poles due to the rotation of the earth because as the earth rotates a centrifugal force is generated which causes a change in its shape that makes it oblate spheroid.
2. Latitude and longitude make up the grid system that helps us identify absolute, or exact, locations on the Earth's surface. You can use latitude and longitude to identify specific locations. Latitude and longitude are also helpful in identifying landmarks.
3. Photo is here attached.
4. India 20.5937° N, 78.9629° E
Columbia 4.5709° N, 74.2973° W
