Can you check my answers please?

1. What is the difference between latitude and longitude? The difference is that longitude lines run from North to South and measure the difference East or West of the Prime Meridian. However, latitude lines run from East to West and measure the distance north or south of the Equator.
2.Where is the starting point for measuring longitude? The Prime Meridian
3. Where is the Cape of Good Hope located? In the Southwestern corner of the country of South Africa
4. Does the Mississippi River flow north or south? South
5. If you were at 90 degrees W and 45 degrees N, in what state would you be located? Minnesota

All are right! :-)

1. Your answer for the difference between latitude and longitude is correct. Latitude lines run from East to West and measure the distance north or south of the Equator, while longitude lines run from North to South and measure the difference East or West of the Prime Meridian. Well done!

2. Your answer for the starting point for measuring longitude is correct. The Prime Meridian, located in Greenwich, London, is the starting point for measuring longitude. It is assigned the value of 0 degrees longitude.

3. Your answer for the location of the Cape of Good Hope is partially correct. The Cape of Good Hope is indeed located in South Africa, but it is situated at the southwestern tip of the African continent, rather than specifically in the southwestern corner of South Africa. It is an important landmark along the coastline.

4. Your answer for the direction of flow of the Mississippi River is incorrect. The Mississippi River flows from north to south, originating from Lake Itasca in northern Minnesota and emptying into the Gulf of Mexico.

5. Your answer for the location of being at 90 degrees W and 45 degrees N is incorrect. The coordinates 90 degrees W and 45 degrees N do not correspond to a specific state in the United States. It is important to note that latitude values are measured from the Equator, with positive values for northern hemisphere locations, and longitude values are measured from the Prime Meridian, with positive values for locations east of the Prime Meridian.

Overall, you were correct in some responses but made some mistakes as well. It's great that you are checking your answers! Just make sure to review the information to improve your understanding.
