Which town is the answer for 34N?

• A. Townsend
• B. Concordia
• C. Auer
• D. Burleigh

Answer: (A)

Latitudes are horizontal lines across a map, and 34N means 34 degrees north of the equator. To find which town sits on 34N, look for the town that lies directly on the horizontal line labeled 34N. In the diagram, Townsend is the town that sits on that line, so it’s the one located at 34N. The other towns fall on lines above or below 34N, which is why they aren’t on that latitude. If needed, verify by tracing the horizontal 34N line and confirming which town intersects it.
