Agenda
• Bellwork – review Map Elements• HW: Check, Review Map Elements• Notes: Latitude and Longitude• HW: Battleship• Quiz Friday for Honors, Monday for Standard
Latitude
• Imaginary lines drawing circles around the Earth, parallel to the Equator
• Called Parallels• Measure North and South of the Equator• Equator = 0 degrees• North Pole = 90N• South Pole = 90S
Lines of Latitude and Longitude
• Tropic of Cancer = 45N• Halfway to North Pole
• Tropic of Capricorn = 45S• Halfway to South Pole
Longitude
• Imaginary lines called Meridians• Run longways down from the poles• Measure West and East of Prime Meridian• Prime Meridian (0 degrees) in Greenwich,
England• 180 degrees = opposite side, called International
Date Line
Writing Latitude and Longitude
• Absolute Location:• coordinates • (39N,180E) as example• Latitude is first always,
longitude is second• NS are Latitude
(north/south of Equator)• E/W are Longitude
(East/West of Prime Meridian)
Other Information
• Measured in Degrees, Minutes, Seconds
• DMS• GPS uses decimals
• 360 degrees total – longitude (180W, 180E)
• 180 degrees total – latitude (90N, 90S)
Practicing Longitude and Latitude
• Find Hannah Game• Going on a Trip• Quiz yourself
