Nearby landmarks.
The Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
The North and South poles.
Latitude and longitude.

And..

What do you think it is?

I think its Earth... only because they mentioned Atlantic and pacific oceans.

LOL, we posted at the same time. I was actually asking the OP. I doubt they are coming back since they didn't get the quick easy answer to their homework.

BTW the answer is latitude and longitude. I've learned quite a bit about GPS since I started my little geocaching obsession.

True... but look at how they actually presented that question... you are right it was likely multiple choice, but taken literally as written it's more of a riddle. I played it at face value... as a riddle.

Want to bet they were having a test, and figured they would get an answer before they had to pass their papers to the teacher because they didn't know the answer.
