Question 3 you see the coordinates 5 e longitude, 10 n latitude. you do not need to look at a map in order to deduce that this location is a. near both the equator and the prime meridian selected: b. near the international date line as well as the north polethis answer is incorrect. c. near the international date line and the prime meridian d. near the equator but quite far from the prime meridian e. near both the equator and the international date line

a. Near both the equator and the prime meridian.

Explanation:

The  equator is at 0 degrees latitude and the prime meridian is 0 degrees longitude.

a. near both the equator and the prime meridian

Explanation:

Lets first understand what is equator and prime meridian.

We have drawn an imaginary grid on the Earth for navigational and other purposes. This grid has two coordinates : Latitude and Longitude. Equator is the largest latitude circle that divides the Earth in two equal hemispheres. This is taken as 0° for latitude. Latitudes increase as we move towards North/South pole which lies at 90°N and 90° S respectively. Longitudes are the lines running from north pole to south pole. The longitude that crosses from Greenwich is taken as 0°. This longitude is also known as prime meridian. The value of longitudes vary from 0° to 180° East and 180° West.

Now, the given coordinates are: 5° E and 10° N. It is quite evident that this location will be close to equator and prime meridian.

the answer is 100. i just did this lesson and got a 100% on it. : )
