Shipwreck
In 1641, the crew of the ship Concepcion used the Sun and stars for navigation. The crew thought that the ship was just north of Puerto Rico, but ocean currents had carried them off course. The ship hit a coral reef and sank off the coast of the Dominican Republic. The Xon the map marks the location of the sunken ship.
What is the approximate latitude and longitude of the sunken ship?
20.5° N 70° E
20.5° S 70° E

The dash line on the map below shows a ships route from Long Island, New York, to Florida. As the ship travel south, the star Polaris appears to lower in the northern sky each night.
Show me the map of the eastern part of the United States, the best explanation for the observation is that Polaris
has an elliptical orbit around the Earth
is located directly over Earth's north pole
is located directly over Earth's Equator
Rises and sets at different locations each day
