finding a place by using latitude and longitude lines is referred to as finding__________?

Question

A) relative location
B)absolute location
C) estimated location
D)coordinated location

Answer 1

d

Answer 2

Latitude is a measure of distance N or S of the Equator where each minute of latitude is 1 nautical mile e.g. the distance between the equator and a pole is 90 degrees * 60 minutes/degree = 5400 nautical miles. Longitude is a measure of distance E or W of the Prime Meridian. This is not as simple a calculation as Latitude as lines of Longitude converge (get closer together) as Latitude increases. Only on the Equator (Latitude = 0) is 1 minute of Longitude equal to 1 nautical mile. In any other Latitude the distance E or W of Longitude zero is Longitude in minutes * Cosine(Latitude) nautical miles

Answer 3

It is D) Coordinate location. Lat -Longs are also called coordinates of a place.
Relative location is when you describe a place with reference to another place. say, A is 20 Km north-east of Place B.
Absolute location is hardly possible, because there is no absolute frame of reference, relative to which we can determine the absolute location.
Estimated location is a vague description of a place with reference to a relative frame of reference.
