On Earth, there are still a lot of unusual places, not only anomalous, but also very beautiful.

Location of objects

There is such a thing as the geographical coordinates of the object. What does it mean? Modern smartphones and navigators, as well as Google maps are equipped with the function of entering coordinates of the destination. You need to enter degrees, minutes, seconds.

At the lessons of geography in school in the 7th form, students are introduced to the concepts of latitude and longitude. Necessarily they have a starting point. The zero meridian is Greenwich - longitude begins with it. It increases in the direction of the east.

The latitude starts from the equator, that is, where the middle of the Earth lies between the South and North Poles. From the equator to the North Pole - degrees with a positive value, and from the equator to the South - with a negative.

But one degree will not be enough. The planet is huge, and the desired geographic object (point of destination) is most likely very small, so additional values are entered - minutes and seconds.

Objects of our planet

As it was told above, any place on the planet can be considered as geographical objects. But it is not mentioned that invisible objects can also be attributed to this topic. Which ones? For example, in the ocean there is a whole flooded city or underwater caves. Or maybe someone knows about underground ants cities? They are also geographical objects. This is only a small part of the examples. Students can only think independently on this topic and name those objects that are not yet mentioned in the article.
