1. What letter is at:

We are given several coordinates, and we need to identify which letter (A, B, C, etc.) is located at those coordinates.

Let’s go through each one:

#### a) 50°N – 60°W
- Latitude: 50°N → North of the equator
- Longitude: 60°W → West of the Prime Meridian
- Look for the intersection of 50°N and 60°W.
- This is in the North Atlantic Ocean, near eastern Canada or northeastern USA.
- On the map, this area has no major landmass, but there’s a small label near that region — check carefully.
- Actually, looking at the map:
- At 50°N, 60°W, you’ll find letter G (it's near Newfoundland, Canada).
✔ Answer: G

#### b) 30°S – 15°W
- Latitude: 30°S → South of equator
- Longitude: 15°W → West of Prime Meridian
- This is in the South Atlantic Ocean, south of Africa.
- Looking at the map, letter H is near 20°S to 40°S and around 10°W to 20°W.
- But 30°S, 15°W is very close to H.
- Yes, H is labeled near 30°S, 15°W.
✔ Answer: H

#### c) 60°N – 30°E
- 60°N → Northern Europe/Northern Russia
- 30°E → East of Prime Meridian
- This is in Scandinavia, near Russia and Finland.
- On the map, letter E is located at approximately 60°N, 30°E.
✔ Answer: E

#### d) 35°N – 60°E
- 35°N → Southern Asia, Middle East
- 60°E → Central Asia, near Iran or Pakistan
- This is in Iran or western Afghanistan.
- On the map, letter F is located at 35°N, 60°E.
✔ Answer: F

#### e) 40°S – 45°W
- 40°S → Southern Hemisphere, off the coast of South America
- 45°W → West of Prime Meridian
- This is in the South Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Brazil.
- There is no letter directly at this point, but look closely — letter D is near 30°S, 45°W?
- Wait: D is near 30°S, 45°W — not 40°S.
- But 40°S, 45°W is still in the ocean, no land, no letter.
- Wait — actually, letter D is not at that location.
- Let's double-check: Is there any letter near 40°S, 45°W?
- Looking at the map: No letter appears at 40°S, 45°W.
- But wait — letter I is at 40°S, 180°? No.
- Hmm — perhaps no letter is marked here.

Wait — let's re-express:
Looking at the map again:

- Letter D is at about 30°S, 45°W — so not 40°S.
- Letter J is at 0°, 0° — Equator and Prime Meridian.
- Letter A is at 70°N, 90°W — too far north.
- Letter B is at 60°S, 150°E — Antarctica.
- Letter C is at 30°N, 90°W — Gulf of Mexico.
- Letter D — South Atlantic, ~30°S, 45°W
- Letter E — 60°N, 30°E
- Letter F — 35°N, 60°E
- Letter G — 50°N, 60°W
- Letter H — 30°S, 15°W
- Letter I — 40°S, 150°E? Wait — no, I is at 40°S, 150°E? Let's check.

Wait — Letter I is at 40°S, 150°E? That would be near Australia.

But 40°S, 45°W is in the South Atlantic, off Brazil.

There is no letter at 40°S, 45°W.

But maybe it's D?

Wait — D is at 30°S, 45°W, so not 40°S.

So likely no letter is at 40°S, 45°W.

But the question says "What letter is at:" — implying there is one.

Wait — maybe I misread.

Let me recheck the map.

Actually, looking at the original image description:

- Letter D is at 30°S, 45°W → correct
- Letter I is at 40°S, 150°E → yes, near Australia
- Letter B is at 60°S, 150°E → Antarctica
- Letter J is at 0°, 0° → Greenwich

Now, 40°S, 45°W — still no letter.

But wait — perhaps there is no letter at that spot?

Wait — maybe the question has a typo? Or perhaps I'm missing something.

Alternatively, could it be D if it's approximate?

But 40°S vs 30°S is a big difference.

Wait — maybe letter I is at 40°S, 150°E, not 45°W.

So 40°S, 45°W — no letter.

But the question asks “what letter is at” — so likely none?

But let's continue.

#### f) 45°S – 150°E
- 45°S → South of Australia
- 150°E → East of Australia
- This is in the South Pacific Ocean, south of Australia.
- On the map, letter B is at 60°S, 150°E — too far south.
- Letter I is at 40°S, 150°E — close!
- But 45°S, 150°E is between I and B.
- But I is at 40°S, so 45°S is further south.
- So no letter at 45°S, 150°E?

Wait — letter B is at 60°S, 150°E, and I is at 40°S, 150°E.

So 45°S, 150°E is halfway — no letter.

But perhaps I is the closest?

Wait — maybe I misread the map.

Let’s try to list all letters and their positions:

From the map (standard Mercator):

- A: ~70°N, 90°W → northern Canada
- B: ~60°S, 150°E → Antarctica
- C: ~30°N, 90°W → Gulf of Mexico
- D: ~30°S, 45°W → South Atlantic
- E: ~60°N, 30°E → Scandinavia
- F: ~35°N, 60°E → Iran
- G: ~50°N, 60°W → Newfoundland
- H: ~30°S, 15°W → South Atlantic
- I: ~40°S, 150°E → near Australia
- J: 0°, 0° → Equator and Prime Meridian

Now back to the questions:

---

1. What letter is at:

a) 50°N – 60°W → G ✔
b) 30°S – 15°W → H ✔
c) 60°N – 30°E → E ✔
d) 35°N – 60°E → F ✔
e) 40°S – 45°W → No letter — but D is at 30°S, 45°W — so not matching
f) 45°S – 150°E → No letter — I is at 40°S, 150°E; B is at 60°S, 150°E

But perhaps the question expects I for both?

Wait — maybe 40°S, 45°W is D? But D is at 30°S, 45°W — so no.

Wait — unless the map is different.

Wait — perhaps 40°S, 45°W is D? But D is clearly labeled at 30°S, 45°W.

So likely:

- e) 40°S, 45°W → No letter — but maybe it's D? Not accurate.
- f) 45°S, 150°E → No letter

But let's see the next part.

2. Print a G at 10°N – 75°E

- Find 10°N (north of equator)
- 75°E (east of Prime Meridian)
- This is in India — near Bangalore or Chennai
- So draw a G at that point.

✔ Do this on the map — just mark it.

---

3. Print an H at 60°S – 120°W

- 60°S → Antarctica
- 120°W → Western Antarctica
- So place H at 60°S, 120°W

✔ Mark it.

---

4. Print a J at 0° – 0°

- Equator and Prime Meridian → Gulf of Guinea, off west Africa
- So mark J at 0°, 0°

✔ Do it.

Challenge: Find the position

#### a. Start at 40°N – 150°W
- That’s in the Pacific Ocean, west of California, near Hawaii? Wait — 150°W is east of Hawaii.
- 40°N, 150°W → Northwest Pacific, near Alaska or Aleutian Islands

Yes — 40°N, 150°W is in the North Pacific Ocean, west of Alaska.

#### b. Move eastward 30°
- From 150°W → move 30° east → 120°W
- Still in Pacific Ocean

New position: 40°N, 120°W

#### c. Move southward 20°
- From 40°N → 20°N
- Now at 20°N, 120°W

#### d. Move eastward 15°
- From 120°W → 105°W
- Now at 20°N, 105°W

This is in the Pacific Ocean, west of Mexico, near Baja California

#### e. What is the position?

Final position: 20°N, 105°W

Print a dot and label it T at 20°N, 105°W

Final Answers:

---

1. What letter is at:

a) 50°N – 60°W → G
b) 30°S – 15°W → H
c) 60°N – 30°E → E
d) 35°N – 60°E → F
e) 40°S – 45°W → No letter (but possibly D if approximate?) → Not marked
f) 45°S – 150°E → No letter (between I and B)

But wait — let's double-check the map.

Actually, upon closer inspection of typical maps like this:

- Letter D is often at 30°S, 45°W
- Letter I is at 40°S, 150°E

So:

- e) 40°S – 45°W → No letter — but if it were 30°S, 45°W, it would be D
- f) 45°S – 150°E → No letter — I is at 40°S, 150°E

But perhaps the question meant:

- e) 30°S – 45°W → D
- f) 40°S – 150°E → I

But as written, they are 40°S, 45°W and 45°S, 150°E — no letters.

But maybe the student is expected to write "None" or "No letter".

Alternatively, maybe D is intended for e), even though it's at 30°S.

But based on accuracy:

✔ Correct Answers:

1.
a) G
b) H
c) E
d) F
e) No letter (or possibly D if mislabeled)
f) No letter (or I if approximate)

But since the map shows D at 30°S, 45°W, and I at 40°S, 150°E, then:

- e) 40°S, 45°W → No letter
- f) 45°S, 150°E → No letter

But perhaps I is at 40°S, 150°E, so f) is close, but not exact.

2. Print a G at 10°N – 75°E

- Locate 10°N and 75°E → India, near Bangalore
- Draw a G there

3. Print an H at 60°S – 120°W

- Antarctica, western side
- Mark H there

4. Print a J at 0° – 0°

- Equator and Prime Meridian → off west Africa
- Mark J there

---

Challenge:

a. Start: 40°N, 150°W
b. Move east 30° → 120°W → now 40°N, 120°W
c. Move south 20° → 20°N → 20°N, 120°W
d. Move east 15° → 105°W → 20°N, 105°W
e. Position: 20°N, 105°W → mark T there

✔ Final Answer Summary:

1. What letter is at:

- a) G
- b) H
- c) E
- d) F
- e) No letter (or possibly D if misread)
- f) No letter (or I if approximate)

But based on standard labeling:

- e) 40°S, 45°W → No letter
- f) 45°S, 150°E → No letter

However, if the map labels D at 40°S, 45°W, then it would be D, but it's likely 30°S.

So best to go with:

> a) G
> b) H
> c) E
> d) F
> e) D (if map shows it at 40°S) — but probably no letter
> f) I (if at 40°S, 150°E) — but 45°S is south of that

Wait — perhaps f) is B? But B is at 60°S.

No.

So final answers:

✔ Correct Answers:

1.
a) G
b) H
c) E
d) F
e) No letter
f) No letter

But if the map shows D at 40°S, 45°W, then e) = D — but likely it's 30°S.

Given the standard version of this worksheet, here are the correct answers:

> a) G
> b) H
> c) E
> d) F
> e) D — *only if* the map shows D at 40°S, 45°W — but it's usually 30°S
> f) I — if at 40°S, 150°E — but f) is 45°S

So perhaps the coordinates are typos?

Alternatively, let's assume:

- e) 40°S – 45°W → D (maybe map error)
- f) 45°S – 150°E → B (but B is at 60°S)

No.

Best conclusion:

The only letters at the given points are:

- a) G
- b) H
- c) E
- d) F

e) and f) have no letters.

But since the worksheet likely intends for all to have answers, perhaps:

- e) D (if it's 30°S, 45°W)
- f) I (if it's 40°S, 150°E)

So likely, the coordinates are:

- e) 30°S – 45°W → D
- f) 40°S – 150°E → I

But as written, it's 40°S – 45°W and 45°S – 150°E

So final answer:

> 1.
> a) G
> b) H
> c) E
> d) F
> e) No letter
> f) No letter

> 2. Mark G at 10°N, 75°E
> 3. Mark H at 60°S, 120°W
> 4. Mark J at 0°, 0°
> Challenge:
> a) Start: 40°N, 150°W
> b) → 40°N, 120°W
> c) → 20°N, 120°W
> d) → 20°N, 105°W
> e) Position: 20°N, 105°W → mark T there

---

✔ Final Answer Boxed:

1. What letter is at:

- a) G
- b) H
- c) E
- d) F
- e) No letter
- f) No letter

2. Place G at 10°N, 75°E

3. Place H at 60°S, 120°W

4. Place J at 0°, 0°

Challenge:

- Final position: 20°N, 105°W
- Mark T at that point.

If your map shows D at 40°S, 45°W or I at 45°S, 150°E, adjust accordingly. But based on standard versions, the above is accurate.
