Answer:

Longitudes and latitudes are used to establish absolute location.

Step-by-step explanation:

Latitudes are parallel lines that run throughout the Earth, whereas the 0 degree is called the Equator and other two important parallel lines are Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn.

Longitudes are perpendicular lines that runs from North - South direction which is narrower near the poles and is broader near the Equator.

Hence, any location can be located precisely with absolute certainty, if Latitude and Longitude of that location is known.
