What place is 20 degrees west 160 degrees east meridians?

Answer 1

The meridian 20 degrees west of Greenwich is a line of longitude that extends from the North Pole to the South Pole. The 20th meridian west forms a great circle with the 160 degree east meridian.

In Antarctica, the meridian defines the border between the British Antarctic Territory and Queen Maud Land. Between the 5 degree parallel north and the 60 degree parallel south, it forms the eastern boundary of the Latin American Nuclear Weapon-Free Zone.

Answer 2

The location described by 20 degrees west and 160 degrees east meridians would be the International Date Line. This imaginary line runs from the North Pole to the South Pole and defines where each new day begins.

Answer 3

Located at 20 degrees west and 160 degrees east of the Meridians are the longitude imaginary lines that intersect the at the poles. It is the imaginary boundary that lies between the Southern and Northern hemisphere.

Answer 4

The 20 degrees west is to the west of the Prime Meridian. While the 160 degrees east is to the east of the Prime Meridian. Both are lines of longitude, marking two separate points along a line of latitude, where they cross.

Answer 5

There's no place on Earth that has two different longitudes.

"20 degrees west" is a line that crosses Greenland, Iceland, almost all of the

Atlantic Ocean, and Antarctica.

"160 degrees east" is a line that crosses the Russian Federation, the Solomon

Islands, a large part of the Pacific Ocean, and Antarctica.

These two lines meet at the north and south poles, along with the meridians of

all other longitudes, and they're more than 12,000 miles apart where they cross

the equator.

Answer 6

A set of geographic coordinates consists of two numbers that describe a point on the

earth. One number, called "latitude", is an angle measured north or south from the

equator. The other number, called "longitude", is an angle measured east or west

from the Prime Meridian. A pair of numbers where one is west and the other is east

is meaningless in terms of geographic location.

Answer 7

Those are two imaginary semi-circular lines that are exactly opposite each other on

the globe, and so together form a complete circle on the earth, through the Poles.

The 20 west meridian passes through Greenland, Iceland, the Atlantic Ocean, and

Antarctica, while the 160 east meridian passes through Siberia, the Pacific Ocean,

the Solomons and other south Pacific islands, and Antarctica.
