13. Phone a friend at 6 am?
Remember: Rotational rate = 150 / hour

14. Longitude / Time Zone Problems

15. Latitude / Longitude Lab – Reality Check
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
Greenwich Mean Time: the time in Greenwich, England from which all Longitude is calculated east & west of the Prime Meridian using 15o / hour of difference from GMT.

16. Latitude / Longitude Lab – Reality Check
2o driving in North Dakota vs. Texas
2o = 2o but meridians (lines of longitude) are farther apart the closer to the Equator you are. Since Texas is closer to the Equator than South Dakota is so you would physically travel farther in Texas driving 2o east. *** LOOK AT THE GLOBES **

17. Latitude / Longitude Lab – Reality Check
DESCRIBE how to use latitude and longitude
You would measure latitude north or south of the Equator in degrees (latitude is ALWAYS listed first)
then you would measure longitude east or west of the Prime Meridian in degrees
Latitude and longitude give the coordinates to pinpoint any location on Earth.
