How could two points 35 degrees north of the equator—one in North America and the other in China—be distinguished using map coordinates?
by their elevation
by their map projection
by their longitude
by their latitude

The two points could be distinguished using their longitude coordinates, as the longitude values would be different for the point in North America compared to the point in China. Their latitude values would be the same at 35 degrees north of the equator.
