Not as complicated as I thought it would be, but still will need to watch a few more times to get it to stick. But it seems manageable now.
Side note, about 10 +/- years ago, I was in Arizona for a rodeo and drew a bull named Uluru. Never got the chance to ask the stock contractor what exactly that meant. All I knew it was Australian and I had been curious ever since. Why that insignificant memory stuck around for this long is beyond me.

Thank you for this video! We're about to locate volcanoes in our country using a map and a set of coordinates only. This is very helpful.

The Paris meridian is a meridian line running through the Paris Observatory in Paris, France (now longitude 2°20′14.03″ east.) Until 1911 it was a rival system to the Greenwich one. I do not know what the gaps were between meridians. Somewhere on the Internet there must be an answer to this.

Thank you I think we can shall may ( or any suitable helping verb ) understand the importance of studying observing the changes in earth s latitudes and and bulging of areas and how our activities like deforestation hurting women ( or men ) can affect its rotation and deviation between magnetic and geometric poles

It confuses me that the horizontal lines measure north to south when they run east to west and the vertical lines measure east to west when they run north to south..why is that?
