1. EQ 5:
What are important
locations and terms on
A world map ?

2. Bell ringer: City planner Daniel Burnham designed Chicago on a grid system.
1. Why do you think Burnham chose to do that?
2. Do you think Chicago is an easy or difficult place to navigate (figure out how to get around)? Why?
3. Do you know which streets are 0, 0

5. Go over world map labels

6. Draw this diagram on blank paper
Draw this diagram on blank paper. Put the slips of paper where you think they should go

7. On the map horizontal lines
are lines of latitude and....
vertical lines are lines of
longitude.
The X axis is the equator
and the Y axis which runs
through Greenwich, England
is the Prime Meridian.
Equator
Prime Meridian

8. NORTHERN HEMISPHERE, written as ___°N
Any location north of the equator is in the
NORTHERN HEMISPHERE, written as ___°N
(Hemi = half; sphere = globe)

9. Any location south of the equator is in the SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE, written as ___°S
(Hemi = half; sphere = globe)

10. Any location west of the prime meridian is in the
WESTERN HEMISPHERE, written as ____°W
(Hemi = half; sphere = globe)

11. Any location east of the prime meridian is in the
EASTERN HEMISPHERE, written as ____°E
(Hemi = half; sphere = globe)

12. We can divide the Earth into quadrants: NE where all
latitudes are NORTH and all longitudes are EAST.
(quadrants  quad = four)

13. We can divide the Earth into quadrants: SE where all
latitudes are SOUTH and all longitudes are EAST.
(quadrants  quad = four)

14. We can divide the Earth into quadrants: SW where all
latitudes are SOUTH and all longitudes are WEST.
(quadrants  quad = four)

15. We can divide the Earth into quadrants: NW where all
latitudes are NORTH and all longitudes are WEST.
EVERY point in the United States will have a NORTH
latitude and a WEST longitude since we are in the NW quadrant.

16. With the person next to you answer the following questions:
What continent is in the NE quadrant?
What continent is in the SE quadrant?
What continent is in the NW quadrant?
What continent is in the SW quadrant?
(Can you add any countries you know)?

17. LATITUDE: HORIZONTAL LINES run east and west 90°N
Y-axis
measures the
distance North and South
from the equator.
Label the North Pole 90° N
Label the South Pole 90° S
And remember that the
equator is 0° latitude.
90°S 0°
What is the maximum possible latitude on Earth?
90° is maximum. You could be at 90°N or 90°S but
there is no greater latitude on Earth (or anywhere else)

18. LONGITUDE: VERTICAL LINES:
run north and south
Measures the distance East and West from the prime meridian
The prime meridian is 0°
And if you go half way
around the world you will
reach the 180° longitude
line.
180° 0°
180°
Understand that there aren’t two 180° lines. On this FLAT
map it just looks that way. It’s the SAME line.
What is the maximum possible longitude on Earth?
180° longitude

19. SO PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!
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.
As with anything else you learn you will get better with practice
SO PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!

20. In groups: latitude/longitude WS
HW: Finish ws

21. BR: Read and annotate time zones worksheet.
How many degrees longitude is each time zone?
What are the 4 standard US time zones? Name a city in each and what time it would be if it is noon in Chicago (use map to help)

22. WORLD TIME ZONES
Fig. 1-9: The world’s 24 standard time zones each represent about 15° of longitude. GMT is Universal Time. International Date Line (turn clock forward 24 hrs going WEST; turn back 24hrs going EAST)

23. Time zone practice
If its 12:32 PM on Sunday in Chicago it is 3:32AM Monday in ____________
If its 8:32 PM Sunday in Cape Town it is __________ in Jakarta
If it is noon on Sunday in San Paulo it is 6:00PM on Sunday in ________
If it is 9Am Sunday in Anchorage it is _______ in Hellinski

8 PM
Los Angeles: 6AM, Paris: 3PM, Dubai: 6PM

25. BINGO-draw a large box. Then draw 3 vertical lines and 3 horizontal lines in the box to make a grid.
Put free in the middle box and then fill in with these words:
Latitude, longitude, Atlantic Ocean, equator, prime meridian, 3PM, Israel, northern hemisphere, Indian Ocean, Europe, SW quadrant, Canada, Australia, 1PM, Asia, China, central

48. 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?

49. US Land Ordinance, 1785
US divided country into townships and ranges so that land could be divided up and sold to white settlers moving West
A township is 6 square miles
Principal Meridians – some of the north-south lines
Base lines – some of the east-west lines

50. Townships are split into 36 square mile sections (1-36) Tiers are N/S of baselines Ranges are E/W of meridians Sections are divided into 4 quarter-sections (NW/NE/SW/SE) Survey maps have a scale of 1:24,000 (1 in = 24,000 in or 2,000 ft)

51. How to Read Township and Range:
N ½ of NW ¼ of sec. 19, T44N, R8E
R7E R8E
