Step-by-step solution for: Free Collection Of Latitude and Longitude Worksheets
Let's solve this Latitude and Longitude Practice worksheet step by step.
We are given a world map with 10 labeled points (A to J), and we need to determine the latitude and longitude coordinates for each point. Coordinates are written in the format:
> (Latitude, Longitude)
- Latitude lines run horizontally (east-west) and measure how far north or south of the equator a point is.
- The equator is 0° latitude.
- North is positive (e.g., 30°N), South is negative (e.g., 30°S).
- Longitude lines run vertically (north-south) and measure how far east or west of the Prime Meridian a point is.
- The Prime Meridian is 0° longitude.
- East is positive (e.g., 45°E), West is negative (e.g., 45°W).

Now let’s find the coordinates for each point:
---
- Located in central Brazil.
- Latitude: Just below the equator → 15°S
- Longitude: Around 60°W
- ✔ A: 15°S, 60°W
---
- Near the Ural Mountains, north of the Black Sea.
- Latitude: About 60°N
- Longitude: Around 45°E
- ✔ B: 60°N, 45°E
---
- In central Africa, near the Congo Basin.
- Latitude: On the equator → 0°
- Longitude: Around 20°E
- ✔ C: 0°, 20°E
---
- Western Canada, near British Columbia.
- Latitude: Around 60°N
- Longitude: Around 120°W
- ✔ D: 60°N, 120°W
---

- Latitude: Around 40°N
- Longitude: Around 120°E
- ✔ E: 40°N, 120°E
---
- Southern Vietnam or Cambodia.
- Latitude: Around 15°N
- Longitude: Around 105°E
- ✔ F: 15°N, 105°E
---

- Latitude: Around 45°N
- Longitude: Around 120°W
- ✔ H: 45°N, 120°W
---
- Eastern Australia, near Sydney.
- Latitude: Around 30°S
- Longitude: Around 150°E
- ✔ I: 30°S, 150°E
---
- Island near Sumatra or Borneo.
- Latitude: Around 5°N
- Longitude: Around 105°E
- ✔ J: 5°N, 105°E

- Always write latitude first, then longitude.
- Use N/S for latitude and E/W for longitude.
- When on the equator (0°), no direction is needed for latitude.
- When on the Prime Meridian (0°), no direction is needed for longitude.

We are given a world map with 10 labeled points (A to J), and we need to determine the latitude and longitude coordinates for each point. Coordinates are written in the format:
> (Latitude, Longitude)
Step 1: Understand the Map
- Latitude lines run horizontally (east-west) and measure how far north or south of the equator a point is.
- The equator is 0° latitude.
- North is positive (e.g., 30°N), South is negative (e.g., 30°S).
- Longitude lines run vertically (north-south) and measure how far east or west of the Prime Meridian a point is.
- The Prime Meridian is 0° longitude.
- East is positive (e.g., 45°E), West is negative (e.g., 45°W).
