Answer:

The position would be 90 degrees latitude, 0 degrees longitude.

Step-by-step explanation:

These measures are based on the latitude/longitude location system.

The so called circles of latitude, are imaginary lines parallel to the equator. If you are looking at a map from the front, the latitude lines are always horizontal to earth.

Longitude lines are also imaginary lines, going from the North pole to the South pole, they intersect the equator.

Answer: Longitude 0° and Latitude 0°

Step-by-step explanation:

Your position if you are located at the intersection of the Prime Meridian and the North Pole is Longitude 0°, Latitude 0°. This is so because the meeting point (intersection) of the Prime Meridian, which is the zero point on the Longitude and the North pole which is zero point on the Latitude will simply give a Geographical Coordinate of Longitude 0°, Latitude 0°
