2.  The exact spot where something is on the earth. Usually expressed in longitude and latitude.

3.  The directions between the cardinal directions. They are: Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, Southwest

4.  The line of longitude at 0*

5.  Northern line of latitude at 23*26’ representing the farthest North where the Sun is closest to the Earth.

6.  Southern line of latitude at 23*26’ representing the farthest South where the Sun is closest to the Earth.

7.  Lines running east- west around the earth that measure a places distance from the equator.

8.  The four directions used to express where something on earth is in relation to something else. They are: North, East, South, West

9.  The ratio of a single unit of distance on the map to the equal distance on ground.

10.  The decomposition of earth’s rocks, soils, and minerals through contact with other elements.

11.  A large landmass on Earth. There are seven: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia.
