To solve this problem, we need to look at the map and find where each latitude (horizontal lines) and longitude (vertical lines) intersect. Then we identify which city is closest to that point.
Let’s go step by step:
1.
33°N latitude, 112°W longitude
- Look for the horizontal line labeled 30°N and 40°N — 33°N is just above 30°N.
- Look for vertical lines: 110°W and 120°W — 112°W is just right of 110°W.
- The city near there? Phoenix, Arizona. It’s marked on the map in that area.
2.
35°N latitude, 78°W longitude
- 35°N is halfway between 30°N and 40°N.
- 78°W is between 80°W and 70°W — closer to 80°W.
- Raleigh, North Carolina is located around here.
3.
46°N latitude, 96°W longitude
- 46°N is just below 50°N.
- 96°W is between 100°W and 90°W — closer to 100°W.
- Fargo, Minnesota is shown near that spot.
4.
45°N latitude, 122°W longitude
- 45°N is halfway between 40°N and 50°N.
- 122°W is just left of 120°W.
- Portland, Oregon is placed right there.
5.
29°N latitude, 95°W longitude
- 29°N is just above 30°N? Wait — actually, 29°N is *just below* 30°N. But looking at the map, Houston is slightly south of 30°N, so it fits.
- 95°W is between 100°W and 90°W — closer to 90°W.
- Houston, Texas matches.
6.
43°N latitude, 79°W longitude
- 43°N is a bit above 40°N.
- 79°W is very close to 80°W.
- Niagara Falls is marked near there — yes, that’s correct.
7.
25°N latitude, 80°W longitude
- 25°N is below 30°N — Miami is shown down there.
- 80°W is clearly marked — Miami sits right on or near that line.
- So, Miami, Florida.
All cities match their coordinates based on the map provided.
Final Answer:
1. Phoenix, AZ
2. Raleigh, NC
3. Fargo, ND
4. Portland, OR
5. Houston, TX
6. Niagara Falls, NY
7. Miami, FL
