15 Latitude And Longitude Map Worksheet - Free PDF at worksheeto.com - Free Printable

I'll solve this latitude and longitude practice problem by examining the map and answering each question.

First, I need to understand how to read the map:
- Latitude lines run horizontally (east-west) and are labeled on the right side (from 90° North at the top to 90° South at the bottom)
- Longitude lines run vertically (north-south) and are labeled at the top and bottom (from 180° West on the left to 180° East on the right, with 0° in the middle)

Let me answer each question one by one:

Question 1: What continent at 18° South by 140° East?
I need to find where the 18° South latitude line intersects with the 140° East longitude line. Looking at the map, this point is in Australia.

Question 2: What continent at 36° North by 100° West?
I need to find where the 36° North latitude line intersects with the 100° West longitude line. This point is in North America (specifically in the United States).

Question 3: What continent at 18° South by 20° East?
I need to find where the 18° South latitude line intersects with the 20° East longitude line. This point is in Africa.

Question 4: What ocean at 18° South by 80° East?
I need to find where the 18° South latitude line intersects with the 80° East longitude line. This point is in the Indian Ocean.

Question 5: What ocean at 36° North by 40° West?
I need to find where the 36° North latitude line intersects with the 40° West longitude line. This point is in the Atlantic Ocean.

Question 6: What ocean at 18° North by 160° East?
I need to find where the 18° North latitude line intersects with the 160° East longitude line. This point is in the Pacific Ocean.

Here are the answers:
1. Australia
2. North America
3. Africa
4. Indian Ocean
5. Atlantic Ocean
6. Pacific Ocean
