Latitude and Longitude

Latitude The North Pole is at 90° North The South Pole is at 90° South 40° North is the 40° line of latitude north of the equator. 40° South is the 40° line of latitude south of the equator. The equator is at 0° latitude. It is neither north nor south. It is at the center between north and south. TEKS: Social Studies – 6.22 (A), Using social studies terminology correctly 7.22 (A), 8.31 (A)

Latitude North Pole South Pole 90 80 [ Lines of latitude are numbered from 0° at the equator to 90° N.L. at the North Pole. 70 60 50 40 30 20 ] Lines of latitude are numbered from 0° at the equator to 90° S.L. at the South Pole. 10 10 20 30 TEKS: Social Studies – 6.22 (A), Using social studies terminology correctly 7.22 (A), 8.31 (A) 40 50 60 70 80 90

Equator The equator (0°) splits the earth into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. Places located north of the equator have a north latitude address. Places located south of the equator have a south latitude address. S TEKS: Social Studies – 6.22 (A), Using social studies terminology correctly 7.22 (A), 8.31 (A)

Longitude Lines of longitude begin at the Prime Meridian. 60° East is the 60° line of longitude east of the Prime Meridian. 60° West is the 60° line of longitude west of the Prime Meridian. W E TEKS: Social Studies – 6.22 (A), Using social studies terminology correctly 7.22 (A), 8.31 (A) The Prime Meridian is located at 0°. It is neither east nor west. It is between east and west.

Longitude 180° N North Pole W E West Longitude East Longitude PRIME MERIDIAN S Lines of longitude are numbered east from the Prime Meridian to the 180° line and west from the Prime Meridian to the 180° line. TEKS: Social Studies – 6.22 (A), Using social studies terminology correctly 7.22 (A), 8.31 (A)

Prime Meridian The Prime Meridian (0°) and the 180° line split the earth into the Western Hemisphere and Eastern Hemisphere. Prime Meridian Western Hemisphere Eastern Hemisphere Places located east of the Prime Meridian have an east longitude address. Places located west of the Prime Meridian have a west longitude address. TEKS: Social Studies – 6.22 (A), Using social studies terminology correctly 7.22 (A), 8.31 (A)

Finding Latitude/Longitude Use the numbers on the sides of the map Do latitude first Latitude lines go from left to right The number will be a north (N) or south (S) number Do longitude second Longitude lines go from top to bottom The number will be an east (E) or west (W) number
