$ Half way between the poles that divides the earth into northern and southern hemisphere $ It represents 0º latitude
3
$ Is the distance north or south measured in degrees from the equator $ North pole is 90º north latitude $ South pole is 90º south latitude
4
$ Distance east or west measured in degrees from the prime meridian $ Imaginary lines that pass through the poles
5
$ Passes through Greenwich, England $ Represents 0º longitude $ Lines are not parallel $ Touch at the poles are farthest apart at the equator
6
$ A map projection that results when the content of the globe are transferred onto a cylinder $ Shows the Earth longitude and latitude as straight, parallel lines $ Lines of longitude are plotted with an equal amount of spaced between them
7
A map projection that is made by a transferring the content of the globe onto a cone Cone touches the globe at each line of longitude but only one line of latitude
8
A map projection that is made by transferring the contents of the globe onto a plane Touches the globe only at one point Little distortion occurs at the point of contact, which is usually one of the poles
9
Photos from air Photographs are important in helping map makers to make accurate maps
