Zorluk: KolayLocation, Position, Size, and Boundaries of Nigeria

Nigeria is located in West Africa and is defined by specific geographical coordinates. Which of the following correctly describes the latitudinal extent of Nigeria?

  1. 4N4^\circ\text{N} to 14N14^\circ\text{N}Cevap
  2. B
    3E3^\circ\text{E} to 15E15^\circ\text{E}
  3. C
    4S4^\circ\text{S} to 14S14^\circ\text{S}
  4. D
    3N3^\circ\text{N} to 15N15^\circ\text{N}

Cevap

Nigeria extends between latitudes 4N4^\circ\text{N} and 14N14^\circ\text{N}.
Nigeria is located entirely in the Northern Hemisphere, spanning from latitude 4N4^\circ\text{N} at its southern coastal boundary to 14N14^\circ\text{N} at its northern boundary near Lake Chad.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the geographical coordinate system dimension requested.
The question asks for the latitudinal extent, which measures distance north or south of the Equator.
Distinguishing latitude (north-south) from longitude (east-west) is required to select the correct coordinates.
2
Recall the absolute boundary limits of Nigeria.
Nigeria lies between latitude 4N4^\circ\text{N} at the Niger Delta coast and latitude 14N14^\circ\text{N} near Lake Chad in the north.
These coordinates define the northern and southern limits of the country.
