Question

what is the first step in finding an absolute location using latitude and longitude? start with the line of longitude start with the line of latitude start with the prime meridian start with the north pole

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

When finding absolute location using latitude and longitude, the standard practice is to start with the line of latitude (also called parallel) as it measures the distance north or south of the Equator, and this is the conventional first step in the coordinate - based location - finding process for latitude - longitude system. The other options: starting with longitude is not the first step, Prime Meridian is a specific longitude line and not the starting point for general latitude - longitude location finding, and North Pole is a point not the starting step for using latitude - longitude.

Answer:

B. Start with the line of latitude
