3. Locating Positions on Earth LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE

4. Cardinal Directions North West East South Draw this in your booklet!!

5. Finding your way around… Scientists have established a coordinate system using circular lines to pinpoint any place on Earth Earth’s Coordinate System based on lines of - Latitude and Longitude

6. Let’s Look at This Question: How is latitude measured?

7. 10 20 0 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 0 15 30 45 60 75 90 105 120 135 150 165 18030 45 60 75 90 105 120 135 150 165 180 E F G H

10. Latitudes to know Latitude of equator: 0 o North Pole: 90 o N South Pole: 90 o S Tropic of Cancer: 23.5 o N Tropic of Capricorn: 23.5 o S Arctic Circle: 66.5 o N Antarctic Circle: 66.5 o S

11. Say LAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHTITUDE

12. Let’s Look at This Question: How is longitude measured?

13. 10 20 0 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 0 15 30 45 60 75 90 105 120 135 150 165 18030 45 60 75 90 105 120 135 150 165 180 E F G H

16. Longitudes to know Latitude of Prime Meridian: 0 o International Date Line: 180 o From the prime Meridian, you go East or West to the International Date Line

17. Say LOOOOOHHHHNGITUDE

18. Eastern Hemisphere Western Hemisphere

19. Longitude Reference Lines International Date Line – 180 o on opposite side of Earth from Prime Meridian Imaginary line that separates two calendar days Go West – gain a day Go East – lose a day

20. All locations in the United States have a (North, South) latitude And (East, West) longitude North and West

21. Latitude and Longitude are measured in, Which can be further divided into degrees minutes There are 60 minutes (‘) per degree

22. Place an X at latitude 20 o 32’N _____________________________ 21 o _____________________________ _____________________________ 20 o 0 min 10 min 20 min 30 min 40 min 50 min x

23. LATITUDE IS ALWAYS WRITTEN FIRST FOLLOWED BY LONGITUDE

24. LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE MUST ALWAYS INCLUDE A DIRECTION (N or S for latitude; E or W for longitude)
