South Asia Create a Map Activity | Solve Location Clues | India ... - Free Printable

Let’s solve this step by step.

The task is called “Where Is It? – Mapping South Asia Challenge.”
It has two parts:

Task A: Absolute Location — You’re given coordinates (latitude and longitude) and need to find which place matches them.
Task B: Relative Location — You’re given clues about where a place is in relation to other places, and you need to figure out what it is.

We’ll focus on Task A, since that’s the one with clear numbers we can check.

Here are the 6 items in Task A:

1. Nepal → 28°N, 84°E
2. Pakistan → 30°N, 70°E
3. Bangladesh → 24°N, 90°E
4. Sri Lanka → 7°N, 81°E
5. China → 35°N, 105°E
6. Afghanistan → 33°N, 65°E

Now let’s verify each one using general knowledge of South Asian geography.

---

✔ Nepal: Located between India and China, mostly around 28°N latitude and 84°E longitude — YES, that’s correct. Kathmandu is roughly at 27.7°N, 85.3°E — close enough for this level.

✔ Pakistan: Centered around 30°N, 70°E — Islamabad is at 33.7°N, 73.1°E, but the country spans from about 24°N to 37°N and 61°E to 77°E. The point 30°N, 70°E falls inside Pakistan — acceptable.

✔ Bangladesh: Around 24°N, 90°E — Dhaka is at 23.8°N, 90.4°E — perfect match.

✔ Sri Lanka: Island south of India — 7°N, 81°E — Colombo is at 6.9°N, 79.8°E — very close. Good.

✔ China: This is tricky because China is huge. But 35°N, 105°E is in central China — near Lanzhou or Xi’an area. Since the map shows China north of India/Nepal, and this coordinate is within Chinese territory — acceptable for this exercise.

✔ Afghanistan: 33°N, 65°E — Kabul is at 34.5°N, 69.2°E — so 33°N, 65°E is slightly southwest, still within Afghanistan — good.

All six matches are reasonable for a middle/high school mapping challenge.

Now, if the student is being asked to *match* these, they just need to pair each country with its given coordinates.

But wait — looking again at the image description, there’s also a blank map with grid lines and a pencil pointing to it — suggesting students might be expected to plot or identify locations based on coordinates.

However, since no specific question was asked beyond “solve the problem,” and the only concrete data is the list in Task A, we assume the goal is to confirm whether the given coordinates correctly match the countries listed.

And yes — they do, approximately, for educational purposes.

Final Answer:
All six country-coordinate pairs in Task A are correctly matched for a school-level mapping challenge.
