The standard format for the geographic coordinates of a location 64 degree east

Question

The standard format for the geographic coordinates of a location 64 degree east of the prime meridian and 38 degree north of the equator is Traveling 50 degree southward and 120 degree westward from the location in 1. above would bring you to the coordinates An antipodal location is defined as the point diametrically opposite (a straight line through the center) to the other side of the Earth. The antipode of the location in 2. above is at Consult a globe or world atlas or Google maps to find the coordinates (to nearest whole degrees) of, or name the major city at, the following locations: Ottawa, Canada When the clock time at the prime meridian is 12:00 noon, the time would theoretically be When it is 10:00 pm Monday in Sydney, Australia, the time and day in Miami. Florida wi

Explanation / Answer

1.

Geographic coordinates of a point is a set of two numbers, namely latitude and longitude, that specify the location of that point. The two coordinates are angular measurements. Latitude provides an angular measure of the distance of the point north or south of the equator, while longitude refers to the east-west angular measure relative to the prime meridian.

So the answer is ''longitude''

2.

For the second question,

Consider the normal graph sheet (or paper) which we use in our class, we know the right side is positive x-axis, left side is negative x-axis, up side is positive y-axis down side is negative y-axis. let us assume that the following

positive x-axis = east direction

negative x-axis = west direction [x axis represents longitude]

positive y-axis = north direction

negative y-axis = south direction [y-axis represents latitude]

Initial position = 64 degree east (latitude), 38 degree north (longitude)

Travel 50 degree southward, 120 degree westward

Final position: 140 north, 820 west

3.

The antipodal of the location may be in water
