Question

Latitude and longitude coordinates describe _______________. relative location absolute location intermediate directions cardinal directions

Answer 1

Answer:

absolute location

Explanation:

The latitude and longitude coordinates are describing a place's absolute location. The latitude lines are horizontal lines, parallel to each other, and they move north and south from the Equator. The longitude lines are vertical lines, running from north to south, connecting with each other at the poles, and distancing from each other at the lower latitudes. When all these lines are applied on a map, they can give us information about any place in the world as to what its absolute location is. This is done by using the values of the latitude and longitude. In order to be more precise, apart from degrees, there are also minutes, and seconds, so that the location can be exactly the same, not just approximate to it.
