Map of Earth illustrating latitude and longitude lines with related geographic questions.

Let’s go step by step through each question.

6. When locating places using lines of latitude and longitude, which of them must be read first?

→ Latitude is always read first, then longitude.
Think: “Lat before Long” — like “ladder” (latitude) comes before “long jump” (longitude).
Also, in coordinates, it’s written as (latitude, longitude), just like (x, y) on a graph — but here, latitude is vertical position (north/south), longitude is horizontal (east/west).

✔ So answer: Latitude

---

7. The Prime Meridian is the main line of longitude. By what other name is it known?

→ The Prime Meridian is also called 0° longitude.
It runs through Greenwich, England — so sometimes people call it the Greenwich Meridian.

✔ So answer: Greenwich Meridian or 0° longitude

*(Both are correct, but “Greenwich Meridian” is the most common alternate name.)*

8. Say whether these statements are True or False:

(i) Lines of latitude and longitude are imaginary lines.
→ TRUE. They’re not physical lines on Earth — we draw them on maps to help us find locations.

(ii) The equator divides the earth into eastern and western hemispheres.
→ FALSE. The equator divides Earth into Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
The Prime Meridian (and 180° meridian) divide East/West.

(iii) The Arctic and Antarctic circles are always hot like the equator.
→ FALSE. These are near the poles — they’re very cold! The equator is hot because it gets direct sunlight year-round.

(iv) The latitudinal line at 23½°N is the Tropic of Cancer.
→ TRUE. Yes — 23.5° North = Tropic of Cancer; 23.5° South = Tropic of Capricorn.

(v) The equator passes through the Tropical Zone.
→ TRUE. The Tropics lie between 23.5°N and 23.5°S — so yes, the equator (0°) is right in the middle of the Tropical Zone.

(vi) The Caribbean Region, of which Trinidad & Tobago is part, is located in the Temperate Zone.
→ FALSE. Trinidad & Tobago is near 10°N — that’s within the Tropics (between 23.5°N and S). So it’s in the Tropical Zone, not Temperate.

(vii) The Southern Temperate Zone is bordered by the Southern Tropical Circle and the Antarctic Circle.
→ TRUE. Let’s break it down:
- Southern Tropical Circle = Tropic of Capricorn (23.5°S)
- Antarctic Circle = 66.5°S
- Between those two is the Southern Temperate Zone → Correct.

(viii) All lines of longitudes meet at the poles.
→ TRUE. Longitude lines run from pole to pole — they all converge at North and South Poles.

(ix) To correctly identify the exact location of any place on a map, lines of latitude and longitude must converge (meet).
→ FALSE. Actually, they don’t need to “converge” — they form a grid. At every point on Earth, one latitude line crosses one longitude line — that intersection gives you the location. But the lines themselves only meet at the poles (for longitude); latitude lines never meet.

Wait — let’s re-read: “must converge (meet)” — this is misleading. For identifying a location, you just need the crossing point — not that the lines physically meet everywhere. Only longitude lines meet at poles. Latitude lines are parallel.

So statement says “lines of latitude and longitude must converge” — meaning both types? That’s false. Latitude lines never converge.

✔ So: False

(x) Another name for all lines of longitude is meridians.
→ TRUE. Yes — “meridians” is another word for lines of longitude.

(xi) Lines of latitude never meet.
→ TRUE. They are parallel circles around Earth — so they never cross or meet.

(xii) The earth is divided into a total of four hemispheres.
→ TRUE. Northern, Southern, Eastern, Western — that’s four. You can split Earth along equator (N/S) and Prime Meridian/180° (E/W).

9. Look at the illustration (diagram) below...

We’ll go sub-question by sub-question.

(a) The place identified as “K” is located at:

Looking at diagram description (even though I can’t see image, based on standard diagrams and options):

Option (ii): 60°N latitude, 120°W longitude — likely correct if K is in northern hemisphere and west side.

But wait — let’s think logically.

In typical globe diagrams:

- If K is shown above equator → Northern Hemisphere → positive latitude
- If left of Prime Meridian → Western Hemisphere → negative or W longitude

Assuming standard orientation:

If K is at top-left quadrant → probably 60°N, 120°W → matches option (ii)

Also, check other options:

(i) 60°N, 120°E → would be Asia/Russia area — less likely unless specified

(iii) 60°S, 120°E → southern ocean near Australia — unlikely for labeled point K

(iv) 120°N — impossible! Max latitude is 90°.

So eliminate (iv). Between (i), (ii), (iii) — (ii) makes sense for North America region.

✔ Answer: (ii) 60°N latitude, 120°W longitude

---

(b) The place identified as “K” is located in the:

From above: 60°N → Northern Hemisphere
120°W → Western Hemisphere

So: Both northern and western hemisphere

✔ Answer: (iii)

---

(c) The continent is located at 30°E latitude and 60°S longitude is:

Wait — typo? Should be 30°E longitude and 60°S latitude

Because latitude goes N/S, longitude E/W.

So: 60°S latitude, 30°E longitude → that’s in the Southern Ocean, south of Africa — closest continent is Antarctica? Wait no — 60°S is still north of Antarctica (which starts ~60°S–70°S depending on definition).

Actually, 60°S, 30°E is in the Indian Ocean, south of Africa — but technically, the landmass nearby is... none directly. However, looking at options:

(a) Africa — too far north (Africa ends around 35°S)

(b) Asia — way north

(c) South America — too far west

(d) Australia — around 10°S–40°S, 110°E–150°E — not matching

Wait — perhaps misread.

Hold on — maybe the question meant: “located at 30°S latitude and 60°W longitude”? That would be South America (Argentina/Brazil border).

But as written: “30°E latitude and 60°S longitude” — that doesn’t make sense. Latitude can’t be “E”.

This must be a typo in the question. Probably meant:

> “The continent located at 30°S latitude and 60°W longitude is:”

That would be South America — specifically Argentina/Paraguay area.

Alternatively, if it's 60°S latitude and 30°E longitude — that’s open ocean, nearest continent is Antarctica? But Antarctica isn't usually considered to extend that far north.

Wait — actually, 60°S is often used as the boundary for Antarctica under some treaties.

But looking at multiple choice:

Options: (a) Africa, (b) Asia, (c) South America, (d) Australia

None fit perfectly — BUT if we assume the intended coordinate was 30°S, 60°W → that’s clearly South America

Given that, and since 60°W is mentioned, likely swapped.

Perhaps original says: “30°S latitude and 60°W longitude”

Then answer is South America

✔ I’ll go with (c) South America — assuming typo in question.

*(Note: In real test, clarify with teacher — but for now, best guess based on logic.)*

(d) How many hemispheres are identified on the illustration above?

Standard globe shows:

- Equator → splits N/S
- Prime Meridian + 180° → splits E/W

So typically, 4 hemispheres are marked or implied.

Even if not all labeled, the divisions exist.

Answer choices: One, Four, Two, Three

✔ Most logical: Four

Unless diagram only shows half — but question says “how many hemispheres are identified”, implying how many are shown or referenced.

Since earlier questions refer to N/S/E/W, likely four

✔ Answer: (ii) Four

---

(e) Which of the following statements about the illustration is NOT true?

Read carefully:

(i) The lines running from north to south (top to bottom) are called meridians. → TRUE — that’s longitude lines.

(ii) The lines running from east to west (left to right) are all called latitudes. → TRUE — latitude lines.

(iii) Lines of longitude do not meet at the poles. → FALSE! They DO meet at the poles.

(iv) The equator and the prime meridian both measure 0°. → TRUE — equator = 0° lat, PM = 0° long.

So the FALSE statement is (iii)

Question asks: “Which ... is NOT true?” → so pick the false one.

✔ Answer: (iii)
