    When we say that a city is located at longitude 120°E, we mean that it is located

    • West of the Prime Meridian.

    • East of the Equator.

    Correct Answer
    A. East of the Prime Meridian.
    Explanation
    When we say that a city is located at longitude 120°E, it means that it is positioned east of the Prime Meridian. The Prime Meridian is the line of longitude that passes through Greenwich, London, and serves as the reference point for measuring east-west positions on the globe. Therefore, if a city is located at a longitude of 120°E, it is situated to the east of this reference line.

    • Large scale

    Correct Answer
    A. Large scale
    Explanation
    This map is a large scale map because it provides a detailed view of a small area. Large scale maps typically show a smaller geographic area with a high level of detail, including features such as streets, buildings, and landmarks. They are useful for navigating and exploring specific locations.
