Africa is the continent that is crossed by both the Equator (latitude 0°) and the Prime Meridian (longitude 0°). This means that Africa spans all four cardinal directions of latitude and longitude: north, south, east, and west.
The equator at 0° latitude separates the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The prime meridian at 0° longitude separates the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
The Earth is divided into four parts based on the intersections of the equator (latitude) and the prime meridian (longitude). These parts are the Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, Eastern Hemisphere, and Western Hemisphere.
The four intermediate directions are northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest. They fall between the four cardinal directions: north, east, south, and west.
The Prime Meridian and the Equator intersect to divide the Earth into four hemispheres: northern/southern and eastern/western hemispheres. The Prime Meridian runs north-south at 0 degrees longitude, and the Equator runs east-west at 0 degrees latitude.
The four hemispheres in the world are the Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, Eastern Hemisphere, and Western Hemisphere. These divisions are based on lines of latitude and longitude that help to locate places on Earth.
they don't. they divide it into four.
longitude, latitude, equator, prime meridian
As no full co-ordinates are given this could refer to four locations
GPS receivers do not 'use' elevation for anything. They use the signals from several satellites simultaneously to calculate the latitude, longitude, and elevation of the receiver's location. It takes a minimum of three satellites to calculate the latitude and longitude, a minimum of four satellites to calculate the latitude, longitude, and elevation, if more satellites can be found the latitude, longitude, and elevation calculations can be refined more accurately.

In decimal coordinates to four places, the location of the Dome of the Rock is: N 31.778º E 35.2354º
Global Positioning System (GPS) uses timing signals from four satellites to determine your latitude,longitude, altitude and precise time.
It's a technical-sounding pair of numbers that seems to describe a place on earth but is actually indeterminate. Since latitude must be either north or south, and longitude must be either east or west, "latitude 60, longitude 17" could be any one of four different places on earth.
Well, a pair of coordinates defines a single point, so you'd never talk about the "latitude and longitude" of a whole continent. But we see what you're getting at. The Prime Meridian and the Equator both cross Africa, so there is African territory in the northern, southern, eastern and western Hemispheres, and there are points in Africa with every possible permutation of coordinate directions: -- North lat / East lon -- North lat / West lon -- South lat / East lon -- South lat / West lon. Africa is the only continent for which this is true.
Latitude is the coordinate for which you have a choice of north or south. The Russian Federation extends over a range of 46.4 degrees of latitude. None of it is south latitude. Longitude is the coordinate for which you have a choice of east or west. The Russian Federation extends over a range of 162.8 degrees of longitude. Only 10.2 degrees of that span is west longitude. 152.6 degrees of it is all east longitude. In only ten short words, the question strikes out in at least four major ways ... undoubtedly some sort of record.
Africa has significant portions in all the four hemispheres, as from north to south it extends from 37 degrees N to 35 degrees S latitude and from west to east the continent stretches from 17 degrees W to 51 degrees E longitude. Asia also, just barely, qualifies, thanks to the southern tip of Malaysia and the eastern tip of Russia.
