Here's why:
* Latitude and Longitude: To pinpoint a location on Earth, we need latitude and longitude. Latitude tells us how far north or south a point is from the equator, and longitude tells us how far east or west a point is from the Prime Meridian.
* Incomplete Information: "W degrees south" gives us a latitude, but "w east" is incomplete. We need a specific numerical value for the longitude, not just the letter "w".
To find the body of water, you need to provide the following:
* Latitude: Replace "W" with a specific number (e.g., 20° South).
* Longitude: Replace "w" with a specific number (e.g., 35° East).
Example:
If you said "20° South and 35° East," I could tell you that location is in the Indian Ocean.
