What city is located at 32 degrees south and 150 degrees east?

• Shanghai
• Sydney
• Durban
• Calcutta 

To locate the exact places on Earth, one must look at: 

• latitude lines only
• the intersecting lines of latitude and longitude
• longitude lines only
• a neighboring area to describe the location

Lines of latitude and longitude are measured in:

• degrees of a circle
• north and south only
• east and west only
• degrees of a compass

When measuring lines of latitude, always start with this line, which represents zero:

• North Pole
• The Prime Meridian 
• The Equator 
• South Pole

When measuring lines of longitude, always start with this line, which represents zero:

• The Equator
• The Prime Meridian 
• The North Pole
• The South Pole

On a globe, or map, the Equator is:

• The Horizontal, center line
• The Vertical, center line
• 30 degree line
• The North Pole

Coordinates can be written like this:

• 20 degrees south, 140 degrees west
• 40 degrees north, 120 degrees west
• 20 degrees south, 160 degrees east
• all of the above

Which Hemisphere are Asia, Australia, and most of Europe found in?

• Western Hemisphere
• Eastern Hemisphere
• Southern Hemisphere
• Northern Hemisphere

Which Hemisphere are both North America and South America found in?

• Western Hemisphere
• Eastern Hemisphere
• Southern Hemisphere
• Northern Hemisphere

What is the reason why latitude lines NEVER intersect? 

• They converge at the poles
• They are cool
• They are vertical lines 
• They are parallel
