1. The equator (0 degrees latitude) is the horizontal line that runs through the center of the map, dividing it into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The Prime Meridian (0 degrees longitude) is the vertical line that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole, passing through Greenwich, England, and divides the map into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. A red line should be drawn along the central horizontal axis for the equator, and a purple line should be drawn along the central vertical axis for the Prime Meridian.
2. The location at 10 degrees S latitude and 75 degrees E longitude is in the Indian Ocean. A blue "X" should be marked at this point on the map.
3. The location at 30 degrees N latitude and 60 degrees W longitude is in the Atlantic Ocean. A blue "Y" should be marked at this point on the map.
4. The following cities should be labeled on the map in red using their corresponding codes:
- B: Beijing
- C: Cairo
- CT: Cape Town
- EMS: Eagle
- H: Hong Kong
- J: Jakarta
- LA: Los Angeles
- LI: Lima
- LO: London
- MC: Mexico City
- MO: Moscow
- MU: Mumbai
- NA: Nairobi
- NO: New Orleans
- NY: New York
- R: Rio de Janeiro
- SE: Seattle
- SY: Sydney
- TK: Tokyo
- T: Toronto
