hemisphere hemi means half/ sphere is 3-D shape like the globe...the world can be split into 4 hemispheres....N, S, E, W

quadrant - quad means four... the world can be split into NW, SW, SE, NE...

Latitude or parallels - imaginary lines on the Earth that help measure distance- "fatitude" like the world's belt....equator is an example....

Longitude or meridians- imaginary lines on the Earth that help measure distance- These lines go up and down but measure east to west.. Prime Meridian is an example

absolute location- “grid address” latitude and longitude lines together Relative location is in relation to some other place, “Hansen’s is next door to Walmart”

cardinal directions- main directions- N, S, E, W

Legend or map key- tells you what symbol on the map stands for

Tropic of Cancer Tropic of Cancer- Northern tropic line that marks the highest point of direct sunlight in the Northern hemisphere’s summer

Tropic of Capricorn Tropic of Capricorn- Southern tropic line that marks the lowest point of direct sunlight in the Northern hemisphere’s winter
