Expert Solution
Step 1
A map projection method used to give coordinates to locations on Earth's surface is called the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM). It is a horizontal position representation, just like the conventional approach of latitude and longitude, which means it disregards altitude and treats the world as a perfect ellipsoid. The way it splits the world into 60 zones, north-south zones, each 6 degrees of longitude wide and projects each one to the plane as the foundation for its coordinates makes it distinct from global latitude/longitude.
