Question

How do we name coordinates lying between 2 consecutive whole number latitude or longitude.
Give one example of a longitude lying between 70° E and 71° E longitude

Answer 1

Instructions: Explain minutes and Seconds(2M)
Example (1M).

Solution:

For naming coordinates lying between 2 consecutive whole number latitude or longitude we use minutes and Seconds.

• The distance between two consecutive latitude and longitudes are divided into 60 divisions and each design is called a minute and one minute is further divided into 60 divisions and each one is called a second.
• Example - 70° 21’ 20’’ E.
