Latitude and Longitude | Interactive Worksheet - Free Printable

Problem Analysis:

The task involves using the provided map of the Earth to identify continents and oceans based on their latitude and longitude coordinates. The map shows lines of latitude (horizontal lines) and longitude (vertical lines), which are used to pinpoint locations on the Earth's surface.

#### Key Concepts:
1. Latitude:
- Lines that run east-west.
- Measured in degrees north or south of the Equator (0° latitude).
- Ranges from 0° at the Equator to 90° at the North Pole and South Pole.

2. Longitude:
- Lines that run north-south.
- Measured in degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian (0° longitude).
- Ranges from 0° at the Prime Meridian to 180° east or west.

#### Task Requirements:
Using the map, determine:
1. The continent at 20° north and 20° east.
2. The ocean at 40° south and 150° east.
3. The continent at 20° south and 120° east.
4. The ocean at 40° south and 160° west.
5. The continent at 40° north and 100° east.
