Detailed Solution

Both latitudes and longitudes are required to locate any point of the earth’s surface. Any site on the surface of the Earth can be located and its position established using the coordinate system of latitude and longitude. The prime meridian and the Equator can be precisely located using a framework or grid created by the intersection of meridians of longitude and parallels of latitude. For instance, a point described as 40° N, 30° W is situated 40° of arc north of the Equator and 30° of arc west of the Greenwich meridian.
Thus, 3 is the correct answer.
