When using latitude and longitude to find places on earth what do you use as your starting point?
The equator is the zero reference line for latitude, and the Prime Meridian is the one for longitude.
What is the latitude nd longitude of the ring of fire?
A Latitude/longitude can only be used to give ONE point/position on the planet Earth. The Ring of Fire is a line of volcanoes that circles the Pacific Ocean, it is not a point.
How do you use latitude and longitude coordinates to find an absolute location on a map?
First, look on the map to find the line of latitude that the coordinates reference. If the exact line of latitude isn't shown on the map, estimate it by looking at the lines that are available. Then look on the map to find the longitude line that the coordinates reference. Once you have found the two lines, follow them both towards the point where they intersect. That is the location the coordinates reference.
What is the latitude and longitude for equator?
The equator is a latitude line, so it has no specific longitude. The equator is at 0o north or south. There are many points on the equator, so every point on the equator has a different longitude.
Is prime meridian the reference line for latitude?
No. There's a point on the Prime Meridian at every possible latitude in existence.The only thing constant about the Prime Meridian, and its definition, is that everypoint on it has zero longitude.
What is the latitude and longitude of the point of the equator and the international date line?
The point where they cross is zero latitude / 180° longitude.
Is the equator a line of latitude or longitude?
The equator is the line made up of every point on Earth at zero latitude.
Why are latitude and longitude line important?
The lines of latitude and longitude are important because we need them to describe exactly where a point is on Earth.
Is Springfield illinois closer to the latitude line or the longitude line?
Every point on Earth has a latitude and a longitude. Together, the pair of numbers is different from the numbers of any other point on Earth.
Is London longitude or latitude?
Both. every place on earth has both longitude i.e. a point between North and south and latitude a point on a line that points in a westerly and easterly direction.
When using latitude and longitude to find places on earth what do you use as your starting point?
The equator is the zero reference line for latitude, and the Prime Meridian is the one for longitude.
What was the degrees in latitude and longitude of the ohio river?
Longitude and latitude result in a point location. A river is not a point it is a line you need to be more specific regarding which bit of the Ohio river you want located.
How is the Prime Meridian measured-lines of latitude or longitude?
The Prime Meridian is a line of longitude. It's the line made up of every point on earth whose longitude is zero.
How does a line of latitude describe position?
A line of latitude represents the angle from the equator to either pole from 0 to 90 degrees in the Northern hemisphere and 0 to -90 degrees in the Southern hemisphere. The angle can be converted to a distance from the equator where latitude is zero. A one-degree distance in latitude is roughly 111 km or 60 nautical miles.Combined with a longitude, the intersection of a line of latitude with a line of longitude is a point on the earth. With a grid of latitude and longitude lines, every point of on the surface of the earth can be precisely represented.
What area do the 0 degree line of latitude and 0 degree line of longitude cross?
The point at which the equator (0° latitude) and the prime meridian (0° longitude) intersect has no real significane but it is in the Atlantic Ocean.
What is the latitude nd longitude of the ring of fire?
A Latitude/longitude can only be used to give ONE point/position on the planet Earth. The Ring of Fire is a line of volcanoes that circles the Pacific Ocean, it is not a point.
