How do longitude lines measure your position?
Well you want to look for zero degrees longitude so you start at the 'Prime meridian' this is just a fancy name for the zero degrees of longitude. The 'Prime meridian' starts at Greenich,England. Now longitude measures from North to South so if you were to find. 30 degrees North or 30 degrees south. You would just travel below or above the equater. North is above and South for below. (The equater is zero degrees latitude..)
What is 30 south and30 east?
The degrees of longitude and latitude, to find a position
How latitude and longitude are used to find specific locations on earth?
Latitude and longitude are used to find the degrees horizontally and vertically around the earth, pin-pointing a location.
Are coordinates and longitude and latitude alike?
For starters they are both on the map and both help you find a place faster. They also helped when it came to navigating no matter if it was 100 years ago and they were crossing the sea of today. (A GPS uses them to)
What is the method used when locating a persons position on a map?
I believe they have to give you their coordinates which are degrees east or west latitude and degrees north or south longitude. For example They'd say I'm at 30 degrees east latitude and 60 degrees north longitude and then you just find the point where those coordinates meet.
What are the two types of imaginary lines that are used to find place on the earth?
latitude and longitude
Which longitude line will you find at 0 degrees?
The Prime Meridian. Opposite Prime Meridian (180-degrees Longitude) is The International Date Lin.

Where would one find zero degrees latitude and zero degrees longitude?
In the Atlantic Ocean, close to the west coast of Africa, near the country of Sao Tome and Principe.
Which city is 30 degrees north in latitude and 31 degrees south in longitude?
There is no such city as longitude only measures east-west and there are currently two latitude measurements and no longitude measurements, so it is unable to find the place.

What the biggest numbers you can find for a line of longitude?
If two travellers 'A' and 'B' started from the Prime Meridian (zero longitude). 'A' travelled to the West, and ''B travelled to the East, they will meet on the other side of the World at 180 degrees longitude. Therefore, the biggest number is 180 degrees longitude. The International Date Line roughly follows the 180 degrees longitude north-south line on the Earth.
Imaginary lines used to measure distance north and south of the Equator are lines of?
longitude and latitude we use these as coordinates to find certain places on the globe
How many degrees of longitude is north magnetic pole from 108 degrees longitude?
The most recent location for the North Magnetic Pole that we could find on-linein an exhaustive 2-minute search placed it at 71.78° west longitude as of 2005.That's 36.22° east of 108° west longitude, and 179.78° west ... almost exactlyopposite ... of 108° east longitude.
What would you find at 0 longitude on a globe?
nothing
