Latitude and Longitude Finding Absolute Location

A map is set up like a graph. Horizontal lines are lines of latitude Vertical lines are lines of longitude. Equator The X axis is the equator Prime Meridian The Y axis is the Prime Meridian

Any location north of the equator is a NORTH LATITUDE Any location south of the equator is a SOUTH LATITUDE

Any location west of the prime meridian is a WEST LONGITUDE Any location east of the prime meridian is an EAST LONGITUDE

We can divide the Earth into quadrants

Latitude is the distance from the equator along the Y axis. What is latitude? Latitude is the distance from the equator along the Y axis. The north pole is 90° N 90°S 0° The south pole is 90° S

Longitude is the distance from the prime meridian along the X axis. What is longitude? Longitude is the distance from the prime meridian along the X axis. If you go half way around the world you will reach the 180° longitude line…also called the International Date Line 180° 0° 180°

Here are some things to remember: > Latitude is written first and must always include N (north) or S (south) of the equator. > Longitude is written next and must always include E (east) or W (west) of the prime meridian. > Each degree of latitude or longitude can be divided into 60 minutes. > A minute, as used here, is a unit of distance on the earth’s surface. It is not a unit of time.

What are the coordinates of location......A 60°N, 30°W 75°S, 75°E 15°S, 105°W Each box on this map is 15°. With that in mind how can we identify specific locations (red dots)? Remember, write latitude first! What are the coordinates of location......A What are the coordinates of location......B What are the coordinates of location......C But what about location D ? It’s in the middle of a box. What do we do now?
