Geography is the main science and technology in longitude and latitude.
We use longitude and latitude when looking at a map to calculate time.
There's no way to determine elevation from latitude and longitude alone.

What is the difference between longitude and latitude? Given it's longitude and latitude, can you locate the area?
We use latitude and longitude to precisely describe the location of places on the surface of the Earth.

There's no way to determine elevation from latitude and longitude alone.
Every point on Earth has both a longitude and a latitude. And if someone gives you a longitude and a latitude, you can use them to find exactly one point on Earth.
diaginald
Lines of latitude and longitude allows any position on the Earth to be plotted.
You find the lines of latitude and longitude and find the place that they intersect, which is your location.
Yes.
