How do you use longitude and latitude to find a location?

You find the lines of latitude and longitude and find the place that they intersect, which is your location.


Where do lines of longitude converge (meet)?

-- All lines of longitude meet at the north and south poles. -- No two lines of latitude ever meet or cross each other. -- Every line of longitude crosses every line of latitude. -- Every line of latitude crosses every line of longitude. -- There are an infinite number of each kind, so there are an infinite number of places where a line of longitude crosses a line of latitude. (That's kind of the whole idea of the system.)


What is it called when lines of longitude and latitude cross?

When lines of longitude and latitude cross, they form a grid system used to pinpoint specific locations on Earth's surface. The lines of longitude are vertical and measure distances east and west of the Prime Meridian, while lines of latitude are horizontal and measure distances north and south of the Equator. The point where these lines intersect is known as a coordinate or geographic coordinate.


How do you use lines of latitude and lines of longitude to find an absolute location on a map?

Lines of latitude indicate a location's distance north or south of the Equator, while lines of longitude show its distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. By identifying the intersection of specific latitude and longitude lines, you can pinpoint an absolute location on a map. The coordinates (latitude and longitude) provide a precise geographical reference for any point on Earth.


Which term describes how many degrees east or west of the prime merdian a place is located?

It is latitude lines. this is all from my geography class. hehehe

How can you use latitude and longitude to find the exact location of a place?

the latitude and the longitude give you the coordinates of a place to look for a place's location on a map, just get the latitude and longitude, and their intersecting point is where the place is.
