how many seconds are there in one minute of latitude?

Explanation:

1. For the first question, in the geographic coordinate - system, negative longitude values represent the west direction as longitude is measured from the Prime Meridian (0°), with values increasing to the east (positive) and to the west (negative).
2. For the second question, one degree of latitude is divided into 60 minutes. This is a standard unit - conversion in the geographic coordinate system.
3. For the third question, one minute of latitude is divided into 60 seconds, similar to the time - unit conversion where 1 minute = 60 seconds.
