Mapping Concepts and Features: Coordinates: the intersection of latitude and longitude lines, which identify the absolute location of a place. Latitude: locations north or south of the Equator, measured by imaginary lines called parallels numbered in degrees north or south. Equator: zero degrees latitude, divides the earth into northern and southern hemispheres.

Mapping Concepts and Features: Longitude: locations east or west of the Prime Meridian, measured by imaginary lines called meridians numbered in degrees east or west. Prime Meridian: zero degrees longitude; also known as the Greenwich meridian because it was established at the Greenwich observatory near London, England. Relative Location: describes where a place on the globe is in relation to another place.

Mapping Concepts and Features: Scale: indicates the relationship between the distances on the map and the actual distances on Earth. Cardinal Directions: the basic directions on the earth: north, south, east, and west Intermediate Directions: directions that fall between cardinal directions: northwest, southwest, southeast, and northeast.

Mapping Concepts and Features: Directional Indicator: a device drawn on maps to show direction (ex. Compass Rose). Orientation: an object or person's position in relation to true north.
