Answer 2

Latitude and Longitude are the imaginary lines that divide the earth into squares giving a precise number location for a place.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The horizontal imaginary line that divides Earth into 'North and South poles' is called Latitude.

• The vertical imaginary line that divides Earth into 'East and West hemispheres' is called Longitude.

• Together Latitude and Longitude form the Earth's geographical coordinates which represent the 'angular distance of any location' on Earth from its center.

• The four imaginary lines on the globe are Equator, tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, Prime Meridian.

• Only one continent Africa has all the 'four imaginary lines' passing through it.
