Hemispheres, Latitude & Longitude

What is a Hemisphere? A hemisphere is ½ of a sphere- or ½ of a 3-D circle Examples:

What is the Equator? The earth is divided into a northern and southern hemisphere by an imaginary line called the EQUATOR Northern Hemisphere Equator Southern Hemisphere Example:

What is the Prime Meridian? The earth is divided into an eastern and western hemisphere by an imaginary line called the PRIME MERIDIAN Prime Meridian Western Hemisphere Eastern Hemisphere Example:

What are Latitude Lines? There are many lines that run parallel or along side of Equator. We call these lines LATITUDE LINES These lines are NORTH & SOUTH of the EQUATOR Latitude Lines Example: Equator Latitude Lines

What are Longitude Lines? There are many lines that run parallel or along side of Prime Meridian. We call these lines LONGITUDE LINES These Lines are EAST and WEST of the PRIME MERIDIAN Prime Meridian Longitude Lines Longitude Lines Example

What Happens When Latitude and Longitude Lines Intersect? When Lines intersect, they form a grid Every place in the world has a spot along the grid, known as latitude & longitude coordinates (Example: 38 N, 113 E) Example:
