#### 1. An airplane crashes at 40 degrees north and 60 degrees east. What letter would you travel to hunt for survivors?

- Latitude: 40° N
- Longitude: 60° E

From the map:
- 40° N is a latitude line that runs horizontally across the map.
- 60° E is a longitude line that runs vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole.
- The intersection of 40° N and 60° E falls in the region labeled with the letter H.

Answer: H

#### 2. What continent would you be on at 10 degrees south and 70 degrees west?

- Latitude: 10° S
- Longitude: 70° W

From the map:
- 10° S is a latitude line below the Equator.
- 70° W is a longitude line running vertically.
- The intersection of 10° S and 70° W falls on the continent of South America.

#### 3. 0 degrees latitude, 0 degrees longitude, the intersection of the Equator and the Prime Meridian, would be located in which ocean?

- Latitude: 0° (Equator)
- Longitude: 0° (Prime Meridian)

From the map:
- The Equator (0° latitude) is the horizontal line dividing the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

#### Coordinate Matching Table

We are also asked to match the letters (A–I) with their corresponding latitude and longitude coordinates. Using the map:

| Letter | Latitude | Longitude |
|--------|----------|-----------|
| A | 20° N | 60° E |
| B | 0° | 140° W |
| C | 20° S | 100° E |
| D | 40° N | 60° W |
| E | 20° S | 0° |
| F | 80° N | 0° |
| G | 60° S | 40° W |
| H | 40° N | 100° E |
| I | 50° N | 120° E |
