There are 50 states in the United States, and each state is partially defined by its specific longitude and latitude coordinates. Longitude lines run north-south and measure the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian, while latitude lines run east-west and measure the distance north or south of the Equator. These coordinates help establish the precise location and boundaries of each state.
No line of longitude bends, but the time-zone boundaries are defined to depart from the meridians in order to accomplish that.
The Southern Ocean doesn't have a specific, fixed longitude as its boundaries are defined by the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, which is at approximately 60 degrees south latitude.

Any location on the surface of the earth can be defined with a latitude and a longitude. That's what they're for.
The equator is defined as the zero reference line of latitude.
A region is defined by specific geographic boundaries, such as natural features like rivers or mountains, political boundaries like country borders, or cultural boundaries like language or customs. Regions can also be defined by shared characteristics, such as climate, history, or economic activities.
