Where is Oklahoma located latitudinally and longitudinally?

a) Northern . . . Western

b) Northern . . . Eastern

c) Southern . . . Western

d) Southern . . . Eastern

Answer:

Oklahoma, located in the U.S., is in the Northern Hemisphere latitudinally (since it's above the equator) and the Western Hemisphere longitudinally (as it's left of the Prime Meridian). Hence, the correct answer is a) Northern . . . Western.

Explanation:

Oklahoma is a U.S. state located in the middle part of the country. When it comes to its hemispheric location, latitudinally, Oklahoma falls in the Northern Hemisphere, due to it being located above the equator.

However, longitudinally, Oklahoma is situated in the Western Hemisphere, due to it being located on the west side of the Prime Meridian which passes through Greenwich, England. So, the correct answer is a) Northern . . . Western.

Latitudinally, Oklahoma is located in the Northern Hemisphere; longitudinally, Oklahoma is located in the Western Hemisphere. There are two ways to divide the Earth into hemispheres, which actually means half of a sphere, latitudinal and longitudinal.
