Want this question answered?
The (geographic) North Pole is the point farthest north on the Earth's surface, a point at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at the geographic poles. The magnetic poles can fluctuate in location, and are at different points than the geographic poles.
which are two basic point of reference on the surface of the earth
The amount of sunlight hitting the earth.

the climate and geographic features of an area
The height of the lands surface above sea level

Basically it's when a location on Earth is both beneficial and problematic
A geographic coordinate system enables every location on the earth to be specified by the three coordinates of a spherical coordinate system aligned with the spin axis of the Earth. That location is a geographic address. This is how a GPS system works.
The location on the earth of a person, place or thing.
Latitude and longitude
Latitude helps to determine a location on earth with reference to the equator. It is a reference in the North-South axis. Longitude is also required to identify a precise location, because it gives the location with reference to the prime meridian (Greenwich). It is a reference in the East-West axis.
43°06′North 0°03′West
To find out exact location of the certain place in the earth, it needs some lines of reference i.e. latitudes & longitudes.
This seems to be the best answer I have found. The guy works for the Centre of Geographic Sciences so he should know what he is talking about.
