What are the two coordinate systems on locating places?
Rectangular : two distances (preferably at right angles) and polar : a distance and a direction. There are two systems currently in use. One is referred to as Geographic Information System (GIS), which is a very complex system which you might envision as cutting say a 2 inch square section out of a basket ball or soccer ball, then flattening this piece out. A flattened out portion of the Earth is then flattened and represented on a map. You can imagine how the edges of the ball get distorted as they want to stay curved (actually spherical). The second coordinate system is the more commonly used Latitude and Longitude. The numbers you see represented when using your GPS (Global Position System).
Is it going to flood today?
In some places on Earth it may flood today. In other places on Earth there will be no flooding.
Why is important to know how to locate places on earth?
beacause if we did'nt know the places on earth we'll be lost #preety14
What is lithosphere and where is located?
The lithosphere is the crust and upper mantle of the earth, located at the surface of earth.
What are all earth farms are located on?
"Earth".
How places on earth located using coordinate system?
how place on earth may be located using coordinate system
HOW places on earth may be located using a coordinate system?
all of them
What is Geografic address?
A geographic address is a specific location on Earth identified by a combination of details such as street name, house or building number, city, state, and postal code. It helps to accurately pinpoint a place for navigation, mail delivery, and other purposes.
The network of lines of latitude and longitude that make up the coordinate system of earth?
grid system
Why are latitude and longitude important in the study of geography?
Geography is the study of the Earth's surface features and processes. In geography, it is important to locate these features on the surface of the planet. To do this you have to have some sort of coordinate system. Latitude and longitude are this system they enable maps of earth to be made and for airplanes and ships to get to places on the planet.
How important rectangular coordinate system?
The rectangular coordinate system is the basis for how we find locations on a map, for example (even though the earth is actually a sphere, this was a basis). I would say it is rather important.
What are geographic coordinate system features and symbols?
A geographic coordinate system is a set of references points used on a map to show the location of an object on Earth. The symbols usually used are lines of latitude and longitude.
How are the equator and prime meridian used?
They are the axes of the coordinate system that is used for places on the earth's surface. Every point on the earth's surface is a certain number of degrees east or west of the prime meridian (its longitude) and a certain number of degrees north or south of the equator (its latitude).
What are the places that are located in the eastern hemisphere of earth?
Some places located in the eastern hemisphere of Earth include Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and Antarctica. These continents and regions lie to the east of the Prime Meridian, an imaginary line that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole.
What is located at approximately 19 degrees north 95 degrees south?
We have no idea. No place on earth can have both a north and a south coordinate.
Are there Coordinates in outer space?
You can impose a coordinate system, of course. Some commonly used coordinate systems are the one related to the Earth's rotation axis; the one related to the Ecliptic (the path of the Earth around the Sun); and galactic coordinates - related to our Milky Way.
What are examples of absolute location?
In terms of geography, an absolute location is a point on the earth's surface expressed by a coordinate system such as latitude and longitude.
