Latitude lines run east/west but they measure
north or south of the equator (0°) splitting the
earth into the Northern Hemisphere and
Southern Hemisphere.

Latitude
Lines of latitude are numbered from 0° at the equator to 90° N at the North Pole.
Lines of latitude are numbered from 0° at the equator to 90° S at the South Pole.

Latitude
The North Pole
is at 90° N
The equator is
at 0° latitude. It
is neither north
nor south. It is
at the center
between north
and south.
The South Pole
is at 90° S
45° N is the 45° line of latitude north of the equator.
45° S is the 45° line of latitude south of the equator.

Longitude Lines of longitude begin
at the Prime Meridian.
60° W is the
60° line of
longitude west
of the Prime
Meridian.
The Prime Meridian is located at 0°. It is neither east or west
60° E is the 60° line of longitude east of the Prime Meridian.

Prime Meridian
The Prime Meridian (0°) splits the earth into the
Western Hemisphere and Eastern Hemisphere.
Western Hemisphere
Places located east of the Prime Meridian have an east longitude (E) address. Places located west of the Prime Meridian have a west longitude (W) address.
Eastern

By combining latitude and longitude, any
location can be pinpointed.
Steps to find Absolute Location using Latitude and Longitude Lines.
1. Find the degree measure on the Latitude Line North or South. (x-axis)
2. Find the degree measure on the Longitude Line East or West. (y-axis)
3. Connect the lines and say the Location of intersection. (x , y) coordinate)

Each box on this map is 15°. With that in mind how can we identify specific locations
(red dots)? Remember, write latitude first!
What are the coordinates of location......A
60°N, 30°W
What are the coordinates of location......B
15°S, 105°W
What are the coordinates of location......C
75°S, 75°E
But what about location D ? It’s in the middle of a box. What do we do now?

Here are some things to remember:
> Latitude is written first and must
always include N (north) or S (south)
of the equator.
> Longitude is written next and must
always include E (east) or W (west)
of the prime meridian.
