All of the following are characteristics of place except a.) climate b.) vegetation c.) street patterns d.) latitude e.) topography

D) Latitude

It may be useful in knowing where a place is, but it is not 'revealing, distinguishing, or typical of an individual character' or a 'distinguishing trait, quality, or property'. If you search a specific latitude you will find many places that are on that latitude, not a specific place.

You cannot see a latitude, or longitude, line when you walk around. You can see the rest however, making that place distinguishable from other places. You can find many places by just searching places with: certain climate, vegetation that lives there, and what landmarks are in the area. Street patterns can narrow that down even more if needed. All of them together create unique characteristics.
