Let's solve this
Latitude and Longitude Practice worksheet step by step.
We are given a world map with labeled points (A through J), and we need to determine the
latitude and longitude coordinates for each point. Coordinates are written in the format:
>
(Latitude, Longitude)
> - Latitude: North (N) or South (S) of the equator (0°)
> - Longitude: East (E) or West (W) of the Prime Meridian (0°)

Step 1: Understand the Grid
- The
horizontal lines are
latitudes, measured in degrees from 0° (equator) to 90° N (North Pole) and 90° S (South Pole).
- The
vertical lines are
longitudes, measured in degrees from 0° (Prime Meridian) to 180° E or 180° W.
On the map:
- Latitude values go from 60° N to 60° S.
- Longitude values go from 160° W to 160° E.

Now, let’s find each point one by one.
---
🔹 Point A
- Located in
South America, near the equator but slightly south.
- It is on the
10° S latitude line.
- It is on the
70° W longitude line.
✔ A: 10° S, 70° W
---
🔹 Point B
- In
Europe, northern part, near Scandinavia.
- On the
60° N latitude.
- On the
30° E longitude.
✔ B: 60° N, 30° E
---
🔹 Point C
- In
Africa, central region, just south of the equator.
- On the
15° S latitude.
- On the
20° E longitude.
✔ C: 15° S, 20° E
---
🔹 Point D
- In
Greenland, northern Atlantic.
- On the
60° N latitude.
- On the
45° W longitude.
✔ D: 60° N, 45° W
---
🔹 Point E
- In
China, eastern coast.
- On the
30° N latitude.
- On the
120° E longitude.
✔ E: 30° N, 120° E
---
🔹 Point F
- In
Southeast Asia, near Myanmar/Thailand.
- On the
15° N latitude.
- On the
100° E longitude.
✔ F: 15° N, 100° E
---
🔹 Point G
- In
Western Africa, near the Sahara Desert.
- On the
15° N latitude.
- On the
10° W longitude.
✔ G: 15° N, 10° W
---
🔹 Point H
- In
Mexico, western coast.
- On the
20° N latitude.
- On the
110° W longitude.
✔ H: 20° N, 110° W
---
🔹 Point I
- In
Australia, southeast coast.
- On the
15° S latitude.
- On the
140° E longitude.
✔ I: 15° S, 140° E
---
🔹 Point J
- In
Southeast Asia, near Indonesia.
- On the
0° (equator) latitude.
- On the
120° E longitude.
✔ J: 0°, 120° E

✔ Final Answers:
| Letter | Coordinates |
|--------|----------------------|
| A | 10° S, 70° W |
| B | 60° N, 30° E |
| C | 15° S, 20° E |
| D | 60° N, 45° W |
| E | 30° N, 120° E |
| F | 15° N, 100° E |
| G | 15° N, 10° W |
| H | 20° N, 110° W |
| I | 15° S, 140° E |
| J | 0°, 120° E |

📝 How to Write Them in the Boxes:
Just write each coordinate in the box like:
```
A: 10° S, 70° W
B: 60° N, 30° E
...
```
Make sure to include the degree symbol (°) and the direction (N, S, E, W).
