Geography Skills

► EQ: How are latitude and longitude used to find places?

Latitude ► Latitude lines measure distance North & South of the Equator ► Latitude lines are also known as parallels.

Hint: Lines of Latitude are like the rungs (steps) of a ladder.

Measuring Latitude ► Latitude is Measured in Degrees (From 0 to 90) ► If the Line is above the Equator, it is measured in degrees North (ex: 20 Degrees North ► If the line is Below the Equator, it is measured in degrees South (ex: 65 Degrees South)

You Try! ► About what latitude is America?

Longitude ► Longitude Lines measure distance East & West of the Prime Meridian

Prime Meridian ► The main longitude line is called the Prime Meridian. ► The left half is called the Western Hemisphere ► The Right half is called the Eastern Hemisphere

Measuring Longitude ► Longitude is Measured in Degrees (From 0 to 180) ► If the Line is West of the Prime Meridian, it is measured in degrees West (ex: 70 Degrees West) ► If the Line is East of the Prime Meridian, it is measured in Degrees East (ex: 136 Degrees East)

You Try! ► About what Longitude is Brazil?

Putting them Together ► If you put latitude and longitude together, you can tell exactly where something is. ► A location’s Latitude and Longitude together is called its coordinate.  Always put Latitude first. (Ladies First)  Then list Longitude ► Ex: 45˚ N, 122˚ W ► Look at your map: What city has these coordinates?

You Try!

In Your Groups ► You are Cartographers (A cartographer is someone who makes maps) 1.Label Africa 2.What Continent is directly North of Africa? Label it. 3.What ocean is West of Number 2? Label it. 4.What continent is East of Number 2? Label it.

5. Which What Continent is Southeast of Number 4? Label it. 6. Continent is the farthest South? Label it. 7. What Ocean surrounds Number 6? Label it. 8. What Continent is America on? Label it.

9. What Continent is South of Number 8? Label it. 10. What Ocean is West of Number 8? Label it. 11. What Ocean is West of Number 5? Label it. 12. What Ocean is North of Number 2? Label it.

Real World Application ► Using Latitude and Longitude, you can find any spot in the entire world!!!! ► Navigation systems use latitude and longitude to track where you are and tell you how to get somewhere.

Activity ► Using your activity, you and your partner tell me what cities lie at these coordinates.  33˚ N, 112˚ W  29˚ N, 95˚ W  25˚ N, 80˚ W  43˚ N, 79˚ W  46˚ N, 96˚ W CHALLENGE: Why are the lines of longitude in this activity measured in degrees West?
