Explain how latitudes and longitudes help to determine the position of a place on the globe ? |
|
Answer» The intersection of latitude and longitude points out the exact position of a place on the earth’s surface. For example London is situated at 51°30’N (latitude) and 0.5 W (longitude). With the help of these intersecting lines, it is convenient to locate the position of London on the map. Actually, latitude and longitude are both imaginary lines drawn on a map or a globe in order to locate the position of a place or a region on the earth’s surface. |
