Locating Coordinates on a Map with Latitude and Longitude

This video tutorial explains how to find coordinates using latitude and longitude. It covers the basics of latitude and longitude lines, the significance of the equator and prime meridian, and how they divide the Earth into hemispheres. The video provides step-by-step instructions on identifying coordinates on a grid and offers practical examples to illustrate the process. It concludes with additional resources for further learning.
