Step-by-step solution for: World Latitude and Longitude Worksheet PDF | PDF
Since I can't view or access images directly, I’ll help you solve the task based on your description of the map and the questions. Below is a step-by-step explanation for each question, along with instructions for marking the map.
---
The map shows a world map in a cylindrical projection with labeled latitudes (horizontal lines) and longitudes (vertical lines). The equator is at 0° latitude, and the Prime Meridian is at 0° longitude.
---
- Equator (0° latitude): This is the horizontal line that divides the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. It runs across the middle of the map, passing through countries like Ecuador, Brazil, Congo, and Indonesia.
- ✔ Draw a red line along this horizontal line from left to right across the map.
- Prime Meridian (0° longitude): This is the vertical line that divides the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. It passes through Greenwich, England, and goes through the Atlantic Ocean, Africa, and Antarctica.
- ✔ Draw a purple line vertically along this line from top to bottom.
> 🔍 Tip: Use a ruler to draw straight lines.
---
- Latitude: 10° South → below the equator (Southern Hemisphere)
- Longitude: 75° East → east of the Prime Meridian (Eastern Hemisphere)
This location is in the Indian Ocean, near the coast of northern Australia and southeastern India.
- ✔ Mark it with a blue "X" on the map.
- ✔ Write "Indian Ocean" next to the X.
> 📍 Coordinates: 10°S, 75°E → lies in the Indian Ocean, between India and Australia.
---
- Latitude: 30° North → above the equator (Northern Hemisphere)
- Longitude: 60° West → west of the Prime Meridian (Western Hemisphere)
This location is in the Atlantic Ocean, roughly halfway between the U.S. and Africa.
- ✔ Mark it with a blue "Y" on the map.
- ✔ Write "Atlantic Ocean" next to the Y.
> 📍 Coordinates: 30°N, 60°W → Atlantic Ocean, southeast of the Caribbean.

| SY | Sydney | 34°S | 151°E | Australia |
| TK | Tokyo | 35°N | 139°E | Japan |
| T | Toronto | 43°N | 79°W | Canada |
#### How to label:
- Use a red pen or marker.
- Place the code letter (e.g., "B") near the city's correct position.
- You can write the city name lightly beside the code if needed.
---
- Find the nearest latitude/longitude lines on the map.
- For example:
- Beijing (40°N, 116°E): Near 40°N line, just east of 120°E.
- Los Angeles (34°N, 118°W): On the west coast of the U.S., just south of 35°N, west of 120°W.
- Sydney (34°S, 151°E): In southeastern Australia, south of 30°S, east of 150°E.

Step 1: Understanding the Map
The map shows a world map in a cylindrical projection with labeled latitudes (horizontal lines) and longitudes (vertical lines). The equator is at 0° latitude, and the Prime Meridian is at 0° longitude.
---
Question 1: Draw a red line along the equator (0° latitude) and a purple line along the Prime Meridian (0° longitude)
- Equator (0° latitude): This is the horizontal line that divides the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. It runs across the middle of the map, passing through countries like Ecuador, Brazil, Congo, and Indonesia.
- ✔ Draw a red line along this horizontal line from left to right across the map.
- Prime Meridian (0° longitude): This is the vertical line that divides the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. It passes through Greenwich, England, and goes through the Atlantic Ocean, Africa, and Antarctica.
- ✔ Draw a purple line vertically along this line from top to bottom.
> 🔍 Tip: Use a ruler to draw straight lines.

Question 2: Locate 10° S latitude, 75° E longitude
- Latitude: 10° South → below the equator (Southern Hemisphere)
- Longitude: 75° East → east of the Prime Meridian (Eastern Hemisphere)
This location is in the Indian Ocean, near the coast of northern Australia and southeastern India.
- ✔ Mark it with a blue "X" on the map.
- ✔ Write "Indian Ocean" next to the X.
