What is Earths reference system?

Earth's reference system is based on latitude and longitude, with the equator serving as the reference for latitude and the Prime Meridian as the reference for longitude. This system allows for precise location determination on Earth's surface using coordinates.


What are the names of the different geographic lines?

Geography studies the earths surface and also, peoples' responses to topography and climate and soil.


What is used to locate places on the earths surface?

Latitude and longitude coordinates are used to locate places on the Earth's surface. Latitude measures distance north or south of the Equator, while longitude measures distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. This system allows for accurate and precise pinpointing of locations worldwide.


How does the latitude lines appear on a polar projection?

A polar projection is a map viewing either the North Pole or the South Pole from above. Each latitude line forms a circle that is centered at the pole. The latitude lines closest to the pole are the smallest, and the ones farther away are the largest.


What is the relationship between lines of longitude and latitude?

they are both imaginary lines that run round the earth, to show where a point is on the earths surface. the unit to show these are degrees. latitude are lines running across the earth and longitude are lines running down the earth. an easy way to remember this- lAtitude goes Across(they both have letter a) lOngitude does dOwn"(they both have o)
