1. Orientation Location Scale

2. Orientation Location or position relative to the points on the compass. Cardinal Directions– North, South, East, West Intermediate Directions- Northwest, Northeast, Southeast, Southwest

3. Draw a compass rose and fill in the cardinal and intermediate directions.

4. Answers North South Northeast East Southeast Northwest West Southwest Never Eat Shredded Wheat

5. Location Absolute and Relative

6. Relative Location The description of the location of a place in relationship to another place.

7. Europe is located North of Africa North America is located of South America Next North America South America Africa Europe Asia Australia Antarctica North

8. Asia is located of Europe. Australia is located of Antarctica. Next North America South America Africa Europe Asia Australia Antarctica Northeast East

9. Absolute Location The global address of a point on the globe is an absolute location. The latitude and longitude coordinates define the absolute location of a point on the globe. The correct order for global addresses are North and South followed by East and West 60°N, 120°W is a correctly written address.

10. Absolute location is the point where lines of latitude and longitude intersect on a grid. Longitude lines or Meridians run north to south but are read east to west. Latitude lines or Parallel lines run east to west but are measured north to south.

11. Step 1. Highlight the Equator Step 2. Highlight the Prime Meridian. Next

12. Step 3. Draw and X where the two lines intersect. Step 4. Label the hemispheres Next NE SE NW SW

13. Step 5. Locate 20°N, 80° W Locate the Northwest hemisphere. Why Locate 20° N, draw a line along this line to the Prime Meridian. Locate 80° W, draw a line along this line to the Equator Where the two lines intersect is 20°N, 80° W Next NE SE NW SW 20°N, 80° W

14. Next Use the same skills to identify the absolute location of the red star. What is the answer? 40°N, 140°E.

15. Next Use the same skills to identify the absolute location of the red star. What is the answer? 60°S, 60°E.

16. Next Use the same skills to identify the absolute location of the red star. What is the answer? 20°S, 20°W.

17. Next Use the same skills to identify the absolute location of the red star. What is the answer? 20°N, 0°.

18. Use the same skills to identify the absolute location of the red star. What is the answer? 0°N, 100°W.
