What continent are both east and west of the prime meridian?
Europe and Africa are continents that are both east and west of the prime meridian.
Is Antarctica touched by both the 30 degree west longitude and the 30 degree east longitude?
No, Antarctica is not touched by both the 30 degrees west and 30 degrees east longitudes simultaneously. As Antarctica is located near the South Pole, the 30 degrees west and 30 degrees east longitudes would be far apart from each other when reaching that region.
Which two continents lie both east and west of the Prime Meridian?
Africa and Europe lie both east and west of the Prime Meridian.
Which continents are on the east of the International date line?
North America, South America, roughly half of Antarctica, and narrow slivers of Europe and Africa all have west longitudes, i.e. are east of the International Date Line.
how many longitudes are there towards the east of prime meridian?
180 to the east and 180 to the west
What cuts the world into west and east longitudes?
The Prime or Greenwich Meridian
What Continents located both east and west of the Prime Meridian are?
Africa and Russia
Can longitude be a negative number and would this be east or west of the Greenwich Meridian?
When geographic coordinates are to be processed mechanically/mathematically ... likewith computers ... they're written as plus and minus, instead of north/south/east/west.Latitude:positive . . . northnegative . . . southLongitude:positive . . . eastnegative . . . west
What distances do longitudes mark?
Longitudes mark the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian, which is 0 degrees longitude. They help determine locations on the Earth's surface and are measured in degrees from 0 to 180 degrees east and west.
Degrees to the left of the prime meridian are which direction?
That's going to depend on how you're holding your map or globe. -- If the north pole is at the top, then meridians to the left of the Prime Meridian mark west longitudes. -- If the south pole is at the top, then meridians to the left of the Prime one mark east longitudes. -- If the north and south poles are toward the sides of the map, then the Prime Meridian is a horizontal line between them, and there is nothing on Earth to the left or right of it.
What are lines that run east-west but show location north or south?
Latitudes. Longitudes run north to south and measure east-west distance or location.
The line of longitude marked o degrees on the world map from which longitude east and west are measured?
The Prime Meridian, located at 0 degrees longitude, serves as the reference point from which all other longitudes are measured. Longitudes to the east are designated as positive values, while longitudes to the west are designated as negative values.
