An earthquake begins to rupture at a hypocenter which is defined by a position on the surface of the earth (epicenter) and a depth below this point (focal depth) We provide the coordinates of the epicenter in units of latitude and longitude The latitude is the number of degrees north (N) or south (S) of the equator and varies from 0 at the equator to 90 at the poles The longitude is the number of degrees east (E) or west (W) of the prime meridian which runs through Greenwich, England The longitude varies from 0 at Greenwich to 180 and the E or W shows the direction from Greenwich
a group of numbers used to locate a point -- " coordinates of the center of the circle " (265)
A set of numbers that describes a given position for a given coordinate grid system Examples of coordinate grids are Latitude/Longitude and Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM)
Pairs of numbers expressing horizontal distances along original axis Alternatively triplets of numbers measuring horizontal and vertical distances Row and column numbers of pixels from raw imagery are not considered coordinates for the purpose of the standard
