Question 6 • Geography

A ship is located at 5°S, 76°W. Based on this information, which conclusion can be drawn about the ship’s location?

Answer
A
The ship is near the prime meridian.
B
The ship is in the Northern and Eastern Hemispheres.
C
The ship is in the Southern and Eastern Hemispheres.
D
The ship is near the equator.

Explanation

The latitude 5°S means the ship is 5 degrees south of the equator, so it is near the equator. The longitude 76°W places it west of the prime meridian, not in the Eastern Hemisphere or near the prime meridian.
