4. Geography Theme: Location ► Absolute: Use longitude and latitude ► Use north or south first: This is latitude ► 30 N 45 W ► Relative: About where something is. I live by Skyview

5. Lines ► Longitude lines run north and south but measure E and W. ► Latitude lines run east and west but measure N and S. ► The lines measure distances in degrees. Latitude Longitude

6. Latitude ► Latitude is measured North and South of the Equator ► Memorize this: ► Latitude lines run east and west but measure distance north and south

7. The North and South Poles represent 90 degrees latitude Latitude lines are parallel The North and South Poles represent 90 degrees latitude Latitude lines are parallel

8. What is the line of 0 degrees latitude?

9. Where is 0 degree? ► The equator is 0 degree latitude. ► It is an imaginary belt that runs halfway point between the North Pole and the South Pole. Equator

10. Which lines are parallel?

11. Latitude and Longitude ► The earth is divided into lots of lines called latitude and longitude.

12. Where is 0 degree? ► The prime meridian is 0 degrees longitude. This imaginary line runs through the United Kingdom, France, Spain, western Africa, and Antarctica. PRIMEPRIME MERIDIANMERIDIAN

13. Longitude Longitude is measured East and West of the Prime Meridian but run N and S.

14. Hemispheres ► By using the equator and prime meridian, we can divide the world into four hemispheres, north, south, east, and west.

16. Arctic Circle and Antarctic Circle

17. Tropic of Cancer/Capricorn

18. Latitude and Longitude ► T or F Lines of latitude can be thought of like telephone poles. ► T or F Latitude tells you the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian ► T or F When stating the absolute location of a place, you always give the longitude first. ► T or F Latitude and Longitude are measured in degrees.

19. Compass ► A compass is a tool that helps the user know what direction one is headed. ► On a map, a compass or a compass rose helps the user locate these directions.

20. Compass Rose ► The needle on a compass is magnetized to point to the earth's north magnetic pole. Thus with a compass, a person can roughly tell which direction they are headed. ► There are four major or cardinal directions on a compass- north, south, east & west. In between are the directions northeast, northwest, southeast, southwest. ► Direction Quiz Direction Quiz Direction Quiz Source: http://aerocompass.larc.nasa.govhttp://aerocompass.larc.nasa.gov

21. Directions ► The cardinal directions are north, south, east, and west. ► The intermediate directions are northeast, southeast, southwest and northwest. ► They help describe the location of places in relation to other places.

22. Scale ► Maps are made to scale; that is, there is a direct connection between a unit of measurement on the map and the actual distance. ► For example, each inch on the map represents one mile on Earth. So, a map of a town would show a mile-long strip of fast food joints and auto dealers in one inch.

23. Scale

24. Time Zones ► The Earth is divided into 24 time zones, corresponding to 24 hours in a day. ► As the earth rotates, the sun shines in different areas, moving from east to west during the course of a day. ► Places that have the same longitude will be in the same time zone. longitude

26. Map Legends ► The legend is the key to unlocking the secrets of a map. Objects or colors in the legend represent something on the map. Religions Legend
