Vocabulary Latitude – east-west lines in the grid (often called parallels) Longitude – north-south lines in the grid (often called meridians) Cartography – the science of making maps

Vocabulary Equator – imaginary line that circles the globe halfway between the North and South Poles at the 0 degree latitude line (equator runs E and W) Prime Meridian – an imaginary line that runs through Greenwich, England at the 0 degree longitude line – divides the Eastern and Western hemispheres (Prime Meridian runs N and S)

Vocabulary Culture – set of beliefs, values, and practices that a group of people have in common
