The equator is about 3,450 miles from the southernmost part of the UK.
Latitudes ... and their cousins, longitudes ... are used to describe the locations of points on the earth's surface. They're not properly used to describe whole areas, and certainly not areas like Canada. Canada is an enormous place. It covers a range of latitude between roughly 41.7° and 83.1° north ... almost a quarter of the entire range of latitude between the north and south Poles. Any latitude within that range crosses some part of Canada.
Assuming that YOU were in either of those locations:Northern Argentina is closer to the equator. The latitude of the equator is zero. Latitudes increase as you move farther from the equator, both north and south.The northernmost point in Argentina is near 21.8° south latitude while the southernmost point in Spain is about 36° N near Gibraltar.There are Spanish islands closer to the equator, the Canary Islands, at 27.6° N, but even so northern Argentina is closer to the equator by about 6° of latitude.
No part of the US state of California is farther south than latitude 32° 30' north latitude.
The Sahara Desert covers most of northern Africa. Its latitude stretches from approximately 35 degrees N to 15 degrees N. Its longitude extends from approximately 35 degrees W to 15 degrees E.
The southernmost point that you can drive to is the town (such as it is) of Cockle Creek, perhaps 75 miles south of Hobart. There is a spit of land, called the South East Cape, that entends perhaps 5 miles further south that is the southernmost point on Tasmania proper. Note that there are also a few small islands south of Tasmania, the Maatsuyker Group, that are part of it from a governmental standpoint.
The northernmost part of Texas is along the latitude 36.49°N - one city in that part is Booker, TX. The southernmost part of Texas is along 25.85°N where the Lower Rio Grande Vally National Wildlife Refuge is located.
The southernmost point in Texas is a spot on the Rio Grande about 8 miles southeast of Brownsville. The latitude (angle from the equator) at that point is 25.84° North.
It depends on whether one is referring to the mainland, islands or just Australian territory. The southernmost point on mainland Australia is South Point, on Wilson's Promontory, in Victoria (39°08' S). Of all the states, Tasmania, being the island state of Australia, has Australia's southernmost point, which is South East Cape. However, Bishop and Clerk Islets, south of Macquarie Island (considered part of Tasmania), actually mark the southernmost point of Australia, not counting the Australian Antarctic Territory.
The latitude of Lhasa, the capital of Tibet located in the southern part of the region, sits at around 30 degrees North.
Yes. It is an island off the coast of southeastern Australia. It is one of the country's six states (Australia has six states and two territories).
Tasmania is an island and is the southernmost state of Australia. It was originally named Van Diemen's Land, and was claimed as part of New South Wales when Captain Arthur Phillip raised the British flag upon arrival of the First Fleet in Port Jackson on 26 January 1788.Tasmania became one of the states of Australia in 1901 when all the colonies federated and became the nation of the Commonwealth of Australia.
Tasmania is not a geographical part of the Australian mainland..but it certainly is politically..before Tasmania was Tasmania it was van dieman's Land..and tit was part of NSW!..so yes Tasmania is part of Australia!
Tasmania is an island state of the Common wealth of Australia. Its capital city is Hobart. The island is named after Abel Tasman, a Dutch 17th Century explorer.
No, Tasmania is the most southern part of Australia.
Tasmania is part of the country of Australia.
You may be thinking of the South Pole -- the southern-most part measured in latitude, or the Pole of Inaccessibility -- measured from the coasts of Antarctica. Both can be called 'centers'.
