Describe how latitude and longitude coordinates are used to locate positions on Earth.

On Earth we specify one's position using two coordinates: latitude and longitude. ... Latitude lines, or parallels, run horizontally and parallel to the equator. Latitude tells us how far North (values 0 to 90 degrees N) or South (values 0 to 90 degrees S) we are from the equator.

Explanation:

The combination of meridians of longitude and parallels of latitude establishes a framework or grid by means of which exact positions can be determined in reference to the prime meridian and the Equator: a point described as 40° N, 30° W, for example, is located 40° of arc north of the Equator and 30° of arc west of the Greenwich meridian.
