Presentation transcript:

What is absolute location?

“Absolute location is a point on the earth's surface expressed by a coordinate system such as latitude and longitude.”

What is longitude?

“Longitude is the numbering system that enumerates meridians, arcs that are drawn between the north and south pole.”

Longitude 0° Longitude runs through Greenwich, England and is known as the Prime Meridian

What is latitude?

“Latitude is the numbering system that enumerates parallels, circles drawn around the globe parallel to the equator and at right angles to the meridians.”

Latitude 0° Latitude is the equator. 90° north latitude is the north pole. 90° south latitude is the south pole.

Map Skills Time Zones

Longitude Lines run east and west.

Time Zones run in the same direction as longitude lines. Each color is a different Time Zone

Vocabulary A time zone is a region of the earth that has the same time. There are 24 time zones.

Time Zones The times zones are generally divided by 15⁰ longitude. The time zones are separated by blue lines on this map.

Vocabulary The International Date Line is an imaginary line on the surface of the Earth where the date changes as one travels east or west across it.
