$60 °$ S $45 °$ E

$85 °$ S $23 °$ E

$01 °$ N $01 °$ E

$47 °$ S $07 °$ W

$23 °$ N $32 °$ E

$34 °$ N $140 °$ W

Accepted Answer

The location of any point on the earth's surface can be determined by its latitudinal and longitudinal extent. The horizontal or east-west set of lines on the globe (or on the world map) are called Parallels of Latitude while the vertical or north-south lines are called Meridians of Longitude. These two sets of lines criss-cross in such a way that they make a virtual network on the face of the globe.

Following are the hemispheres in which the places of the given latitudinal and longitudinal extent are located.

Latitudinal and Longitudinal extent Hemispheres

$60 °$ S $45 °$ E Southern and Eastern hemispheres

$85 °$ S $23 °$ E Southern and Eastern hemispheres

$01 °$ N $01 °$ E Northern and Eastern hemispheres

$47 °$ S $07 °$ W Southern and Western hemispheres

$23 °$ N $32 °$ E Northern and Eastern hemispheres

$34 °$ N $140 °$ W Northern and Western hemispheres

$89 °$ S $25 °$ W Southern and Western hemispheres

$66 °$ N $120 °$ W Northern and Western hemispheres

$59 °$ N $59 °$ E Northern and Eastern hemispheres

$57 °$ N $179 °$ W Northern and Western hemispheres

$75 °$ S $145 °$ E Southern and Eastern hemispheres

$07 °$ S $60 °$ W Southern and Western hemispheres

N stands for North, S stands for South, E stands for East, W stands for West
