Open in App
Solution

If we want to locate a place on the globe, we have to do the following exercise:
- First, we have to know the latitude and longitude of that place.
- Now, we draw the meridian and the Parallel of Latitude of that place on the basis of its longitude and latitude. For example, Dhubri in Assam is situated at 26N latitude and 90E longitude.
- The point where the meridian and the Parallel of Latitude intersect themselves will be the location of that place.
