Latitude measures distance north and south of the equator. Longitude measures distance east and west of the prime meridian. To locate a particular point on the earth's surface, you must use both latitude and longitude. Study the map below, then write the name of the place to which each intersection of latitude and longitude refers.

\hline
Russia & Pacific Ocean & China & United States & Canada \\
Africa & Atlantic Ocean & Australia & Antarctica & South America \\

Sure, I can help you identify the locations based on the given coordinates. Here is the step-by-step identification of each place using latitude and longitude:

1. [tex]\(60^\circ N, 120^\circ W\)[/tex]:
- Latitude: [tex]\(60^\circ\)[/tex] North
- Longitude: [tex]\(120^\circ\)[/tex] West
- This coordinates refer to Canada.

2. [tex]\(90^\circ S, 90^\circ W\)[/tex]:
- Latitude: [tex]\(90^\circ\)[/tex] South (coordinates refer to the South Pole)
- Longitude: [tex]\(90^\circ\)[/tex] West
- This coordinates refer to Antarctica.

3. [tex]\(30^\circ N, 0^\circ\)[/tex]:
- Latitude: [tex]\(30^\circ\)[/tex] North
- Longitude: [tex]\(0^\circ\)[/tex] (Prime Meridian)
- This coordinates refer to the Atlantic Ocean.

4. [tex]\(30^\circ S, 90^\circ E\)[/tex]:
- Latitude: [tex]\(30^\circ\)[/tex] South
- Longitude: [tex]\(90^\circ\)[/tex] East
- This coordinates refer to Australia.

5. [tex]\(45^\circ N, 90^\circ W\)[/tex]:
- Latitude: [tex]\(45^\circ\)[/tex] North
- Longitude: [tex]\(90^\circ\)[/tex] West
- This coordinates refer to the United States.

6. [tex]\(60^\circ N, 90^\circ E\)[/tex]:
- Latitude: [tex]\(60^\circ\)[/tex] North
- Longitude: [tex]\(90^\circ\)[/tex] East
- This coordinates refer to Russia.

7. [tex]\(30^\circ S, 60^\circ W\)[/tex]:
- Latitude: [tex]\(30^\circ\)[/tex] South
- Longitude: [tex]\(60^\circ\)[/tex] West
- This coordinates refer to South America.

8. [tex]\(0^\circ, 30^\circ E\)[/tex]:
- Latitude: [tex]\(0^\circ\)[/tex] (Equator)
- Longitude: [tex]\(30^\circ\)[/tex] East
- This coordinates refer to Africa.

9. [tex]\(30^\circ N, 120^\circ E\)[/tex]:
- Latitude: [tex]\(30^\circ\)[/tex] North
- Longitude: [tex]\(120^\circ\)[/tex] East
- This coordinates refer to China.

10. [tex]\(30^\circ S, 150^\circ E\)[/tex]:
- Latitude: [tex]\(30^\circ\)[/tex] South
- Longitude: [tex]\(150^\circ\)[/tex] East
- This coordinates refer to the Pacific Ocean.

The remaining intersections would be:

1. [tex]\(60^\circ N, 120^\circ W\)[/tex] - Canada
2. [tex]\(90^\circ S, 90^\circ W\)[/tex] - Antarctica
3. [tex]\(30^\circ N, 0^\circ\)[/tex] - Atlantic Ocean
4. [tex]\(30^\circ S, 90^\circ E\)[/tex] - Australia
5. [tex]\(45^\circ N, 90^\circ W\)[/tex] - United States
6. [tex]\(60^\circ N, 90^\circ E\)[/tex] - Russia
7. [tex]\(30^\circ S, 60^\circ W\)[/tex] - South America
8. [tex]\(0^\circ, 30^\circ E\)[/tex] - Africa
9. [tex]\(30^\circ N, 120^\circ E\)[/tex] - China
10. [tex]\(30^\circ S, 150^\circ E\)[/tex] - Pacific Ocean
