How do you do longitude and latitude 30n 100w?

Answer 1

Roughly the same way you 'do' the corner of 30th Avenue and 100th Street.

If you want to find the place, you either have to be there and read the street signs,

or else you have to find it on a map that has the names of the streets printed on it.

Either way, things have to be marked. It's really tough to find a place by the numbers

if there are no labels.

The Earth has no labels on it. So, even if you're there at some latitude and longitude,

you usually don't know it. In order to find a certain spot, you need a map that has

latitudes and longitudes printed on it. Then, you look left and right on the map until

you find the longitude you want, and then you stay on that line and look up and

down for the latitude you want. Eventually, you come to a point where they cross,

and that's the spot you're looking for that has exactly those numbers.

If you're looking for 30N and 100W, then your spot is 12.4 miles east of Rocksprings, Texas.
