Question

1. identify the city with each pair of coordinates.

a. 0°, 78°w
b. 51°n, 0°
c. 38°s, 145°e

Explanation:

Part a:

The coordinates \(0^\circ\) (equator) and \(78^\circ \text{W}\) correspond to Quito, Ecuador. Quito is known to be very close to the equator and has a longitude around \(78^\circ \text{W}\).

Part b:

The coordinates \(51^\circ \text{N}\) and \(0^\circ\) (Prime Meridian) correspond to London, UK. London is located near the Prime Meridian and at a latitude of approximately \(51^\circ \text{N}\).

Part c:

The coordinates \(38^\circ \text{S}\) and \(145^\circ \text{E}\) correspond to Melbourne, Australia. Melbourne is in the Southern Hemisphere (hence \(38^\circ \text{S}\)) and has a longitude around \(145^\circ \text{E}\).

Answer:

a. Quito
b. London
c. Melbourne
