1 By: Sean & Brandon

2 $ 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

10  Gathering info. About something without actually being there  It can be as basic as cameras in planes or as sophisticated as satellites with sensor that can sense and record what our eyes cannot see
