Q1. what are the implications of latitude longitude extent of india?
Q2. How did india benefit from its locations in historical times? give 5 examples.
* The longitudinal extent of India is 68o7'E to 97o25'E.
* The implications of longitudinal extent of India are:
- India lies completely in the eastern hemisphere.
- There is difference of two hours between the times of the eastern-most and western-most parts of India.
- 82 1/2oE is selected as the Standard Meridian of India.
* The longitudinal extent of India is 8o4'N to 37o6'N.
* The implications of latitudinal extent of India are:
- India lies completely in the northern hemisphere.
- The Tropic of Cancer passes through India and divides the country into almost two equal halves.
- There is a difference of 45 minutes in the duration of days and nights in Kanyakumari and 5 hours in Kashmir.
I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your second question, but I have certainly helped you with the first one.
Hope it helps.
