Geographic Grid
A Geographic Grid is a system of intersecting lines used to locate points on the Earth's surface. It consists of horizontal lines called latitude and vertical lines known as longitude. Latitude measures how far north or south a location is from the equator, while longitude measures how far east or west a location is from the prime meridian. Together, these lines create a coordinate system that helps in navigation and mapping.
This grid is essential for various applications, including cartography, GPS technology, and global positioning systems. By using the geographic grid, people can easily identify specific locations, understand distances, and navigate across different terrains.
