01-08 Meridians of longitude on the globe are the same length north to south. converge at the poles. terminate at the poles. intersect the Equator. All of the above are correct. Explanation: Lines of longitude measure distance east and west of the Prime Meridian in angles ranging from 0 to 180.

01-09 Imagine that you are aboard a ship on September 21 sailing along the Equator. Glancing upward you notice that the sun is directly overhead. Your watch is set to Greenwich time and reads 6 P.M. What is your longitude? 90 degrees west of Greenwich 90 degrees east of Greenwich 180 degrees west of Greenwich 180 degrees east of Greenwich 30 degrees east of Greenwich

90 degrees west of Greenwich 90 degrees east of Greenwich 01-09 Imagine that you are aboard a ship on September 21 sailing along the Equator. Glancing upward you notice that the sun is directly overhead. Your watch is set to Greenwich time and reads 6 P.M. What is your longitude? 90 degrees west of Greenwich 90 degrees east of Greenwich 180 degrees west of Greenwich 180 degrees east of Greenwich 30 degrees east of Greenwich Explanation: September 21 is the date of the Autumnal Equinox. The sun appears directly overhead at noon. The difference in hours between local time (noon) and Greenwich (6 P.M.) is six hours. For every hour, add fifteen degrees of longitude, placing the ship at ninety degrees west of Greenwich Text Reference: Place: Unique Location of a Feature Difficulty Level: 4 Bloom's Taxonomy: Knowledge U.S. Geography Standard: GEOGRAPHY STANDARD 1 HOW TO USE MAPS AND OTHER GEOGRAPHIC REPRESENTATIONS, GEOSPATIAL TECHNOLOGIES, AND SPATIAL THINKING TO UNDERSTAND AND COMMUNICATE INFORMATION GEOGRAPHY STANDARD 18 HOW TO APPLY GEOGRAPHY TO INTERPRET THE PRESENT AND PLAN FOR THE FUTURE

Problems with map scale

Map Scale

Scale Notes # on left vs # on right Small-scale maps show more area in less detail. Large-scale maps show a smaller area but in greater detail. Fractional, Ratio, Graphic Resolution

Scale Assignment Create Two Maps One should have a 1:1 scale. The other should have a 1:3 scale. Use as much detail as possible. Color is helpful also. Grade will be based on level of detail, accuracy of map, and aesthetic quality.
