Touch on organizing the oceans
How many nations (countries) are there?
258

11. Organizing the Globe
Any location on Earth can be described by two numbers--its latitude and its longitude.

12. Latitude and Longitude
"coordinates" -the intersections of latitude and longitude
Ex: 23°N, 67°E
Coordinates of latitude and longitude are measured in degrees.
A degree is about 69 miles apart

13. Latitude Lines of latitude are drawn left to right
5/6/2018
Lines of latitude are drawn left to right
measure places north and south of the equator (0° latitude).
Lines of latitude run from 0° to 90°
On a globe of the Earth, lines of latitude are circles of different size. The longest is the equator, whose latitude is zero, while at the poles--at latitudes 90° north and 90° south (or -90°) the circles shrink to a point.
Portuguese map-maker Pedro Reinel first drew latitude scale on the prime meridian (starting point for measuring longitude) in By the 1520s Portuguese experts realized that the scientific precision equal to that they had achieved in fixing latitude could only be approximated in establishing longitude. Only a sufficiently accurate clock would finally solve the problem, they said. Until such a time, they suggested a variety of ways of estimating the difference in time between the starting point (prime meridian) and where they were, including the path of the solar eclipse.

14. Remember Latitude: A latitude “latter” “Lat is Flat”
Rungs on a ladder run left to right, but they help you move north and south (up and down), just like degrees of latitude!
“Lat is Flat”

15. Latitude
There are two lines of latitude that are very important to Geographers:
Called tropics – places on the earth that receive the most heat from the sun.
The Tropic of Cancer at 23½˚ N
The Tropic of Capricorn at 23½˚S
Understand “tropical rainforests”? Or a tropical destination?

16. Longitude Lines of longitude run from 0° to 180°
5/6/2018
-Lines of longitude are drawn top to bottom
-Measure places east and west of the Prime Meridian (0° longitude) EX: 54° N, 160° W
The Prime Meridian runs through Greenwich, England
Lines of longitude run from 0° to 180°
Zero longitude was first located in the Portuguese Madeira Islands (indicated by the red-and-blue-flag). For the next 300+ years the world calculated longitude from Portuguese islands. Even as their sea-power waned, Portugal's prime meridian remained the world standard until the English achieved dominance during the nineteenth century. As nautical charts increasingly became produced in England sailors began to use both Portuguese and English standards. In 1884 a European conference narrowly ratified the placement of the prime meridian in Greenwich England.

17. Longitude vs. Latitude Latitude -Starts at 0° (the equator) Longitude
-right to left
-It never goes higher in degrees than 90°
Longitude
-Starts at 0° (the prime meridian)
-up and down
-It never goes higher in degrees than 180°
Angles
that form Coordinates

18. Writing Latitude and Longitude: RULES
5/6/2018
All degrees must have a coordinate to give you direction: N,S,E,W to tell you which hemisphere to look in.
Latitude will always have either North or South written before the degree
Longitude will always have either East or West before the degree
Latitude is always written first, then Longitude
On map, tell me St. Petersburg Russia = 60N lat, 30E long
New Orleans 30N lat, 90W long
