Let’s go step by step to solve each part of the task.
---
Question 1: Draw a red line along the equator (0 degrees latitude), and draw a purple line along the Prime Meridian (0 degrees longitude).
- The
equator is the horizontal line at 0° latitude — it runs east-west across the middle of the map.
- The
Prime Meridian is the vertical line at 0° longitude — it runs north-south through Greenwich, England.
→ You’ll need to physically draw these on your map using colored pencils or markers as instructed.
*(No written answer needed here — just drawing.)*

Question 2: In which ocean is the location 10 degrees S latitude, 75 degrees E longitude located? Mark it on the map with a blue “X” and write the name of the ocean.
Step-by-step:
- Find
10°S — that’s 10 degrees south of the equator. Look below the equator line.
- Find
75°E — that’s 75 degrees east of the Prime Meridian. Look to the right of the center line (since we’re going east).
- Where they meet? That’s in the
Indian Ocean, between Africa and Australia.
→ So, mark an “X” there and write:
Indian Ocean
✔ Final Answer for Q2: Indian Ocean

Question 3: In which ocean is the location 30 degrees N latitude, 60 degrees W longitude located? Mark it on the map with a blue “Y” and write the name of the ocean.
Step-by-step:
- Find
30°N — that’s 30 degrees north of the equator. Look above the equator.
- Find
60°W — that’s 60 degrees west of the Prime Meridian. Look to the left of the center line (since we’re going west).
- Where they meet? That’s in the
Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of South America / Caribbean area.
→ So, mark a “Y” there and write:
Atlantic Ocean
✔ Final Answer for Q3: Atlantic Ocean

Question 4: Label the following cities on the map in red (use the Code for the label):
We are given a table of cities with codes, latitudes, and longitudes. We must place each code on the map at its correct coordinates.
Since this is a labeling task, you will physically put the letter codes (like B, C, CT, etc.) on the map at their corresponding latitude/longitude points.
But since we can’t draw here, let’s verify a few examples to make sure you understand how to do it:
Example:
-
Beijing (B) → 40°N, 116°E → Go up to 40°N, then right to 116°E → Place “B” there.
-
Cairo (C) → 30°N, 31°E → Up to 30°N, right to 31°E → Place “C”.
-
New York (NY) → 40°N, 74°W → Up to 40°N, left to 74°W → Place “NY”.
You repeat this for all 24 cities listed.
*(Again, no single final answer — it’s a labeling exercise. But if asked for one example, say Beijing → B at 40°N, 116°E.)*

Now, compiling only the answers that require text responses (Questions 2 and 3):
Final Answer:
Indian Ocean
Atlantic Ocean
