Today's word/expression is...

2004年08月16日(月) 緯度、経度、海抜

Please put them into English!
These words are a little confusing for me.
よく私が混同してしまうのは、緯度と海抜です。

� ^淌戞   �latitude
�◆〃佚�     longitude
�� 海抜(標高、高度) altitude


(用例)

� �The army must cease military operations aboub 36 degrees latitude north. (データベース)
�� The aircraft had reached its cruising altitude of about 39,000 feet.(COB)

�´△箸皸貊錣忙箸錣譴訃豺�
  The ship is at latitude thirty degrees twenty minutes north,
and longitude thirty degrees ten minutes west.(英和活)


ちなみに、latitudeには、「自由(裁量)」という意味もあります。

(例) He would be given every latitude in forming a new government. (COB)
