Why are latitude and longitude important to geographers?
Latitude and longitude are simply the way we can describe any point on the surface of the Earth. It's easy to use and easy to understand, and it's already printed on most maps.
What is the exact location of tokyo in terms of latitude and longitude?
-- The point between the two tall towers of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building is 35.6896° north latitude 139.6917° east longitude. -- The center of the field at the National Olympic Stadium is located at 35.6780° north latitude 139.7149° east longitude. -- The north end of Runway-17 at the Chofu commuter airport 3.1 km west of the center of Tokyo is located at 35.6756° north latitude 139.5264° easy longitude, -- and the south end of the same runway, only 930 meters away, is located at 35.6676° north latitude 139.5294° east longitude. It should be evident that it's virtually impossible to state the "exact" latitude and longitude of any place comprised of more than one dimensionless point.
What is the relationship between lines of longitude and latitude?
they are both imaginary lines that run round the earth, to show where a point is on the earths surface. the unit to show these are degrees. latitude are lines running across the earth and longitude are lines running down the earth. an easy way to remember this- lAtitude goes Across(they both have letter a) lOngitude does dOwn"(they both have o)
Which is longitude and which is latitude?
Lines of latitude are imaginery lines that run around the earth parallel to the equator and tell you how many degrees north or south of the equator you are. The equator being zero degrees, the North Pole being 90 degrees North Latitude, the South Pole being 90 degrees South Latitude. Lines of longitude are imaginery lines that run from the north pole to the south pole and tell you how many degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian you are. The Prime Meridian is based on Greenwich, England. An easy way to rember is that the latitude lines are like the steps on a ladder, and the longitude lines are very long.
How two coastal cities have the same latitude and elevation but are located near different oceans?
Easy, if their longitudes are different. Examples: -- San Francisco and Virginia Beach VA have about the same latitude. -- HongKong and Havana, Cuba have about the same latitude. -- San Diego, Charleston SC, and Casablanca, Morocco have about the same latitude.
What is more difficult to determine longitude or latitude?
longitude is easy latitude does not give a hint in the word
Why is it easy to use the latitude and longitude to find the cities map?
The pattern formed by lines of latitude and longitude is very much like a grid, except that the lines of longitude converge at the north and south poles. Therefore, saying that a certain city is at 40° north latitude and 105° west longitude is similar to saying that a certain student is at the 5th desk of the 4th row (for example).
What word means nearly the opposite of longitude?
that's easy. Latitude!

What place did Jacob tell Bella that Edward and his family were vampires?
Easy. La push, washington. First beach. By a driftwood tree at 37 longitude, 86 latitude ( just kidding about the longitude and latitude. )
How thick are lines of latitude and longitude?
Their thickness is zero. (That's easy when you're talking about imaginary lines.)
Why is it easy to use the latitude and longitude?
Latitude and longitude are similar to large cities having streets running in one direction (e.g., East-West) and avenues running parallel (e.g., North-South) such that if you know a street number and avenue intersection you can find any places relative to any intersection (e.g. 5th Avenue and East 75th Street). Latitude and longitude use the same concept such that knowing the coordinates can locate any point on the planet. Latitude and longitude is easier than streets and avenues because latitude and longitude is consistent across the planet, while streets and avenues are not. In addition, you can add decimal places to the coordinates to get a more precise location down to a single point plus or minus a centimeter or smaller.

How you can find a latitude and longitude of a country?
it is easy if you can find a globe or a map of that country that numbers & shows the parallels of latitude as horizontal lines & the meridians of longitude as vertical lines most tho not all maps & globes do this so keep looking for one that does alternatively encyclopedia articles about countries usually give this information too but you may also need to read an article about how to understand & read latitude & longitude if these methods dont immediately work for you
