Map Coordinates Review. Equator A line that divides the planet into northern and southern hemispheres Has a measure of 0 degrees of Latitude.

 Distance measure in degrees- from 0 o to 90 o North or South of the equator  Equator- primary reference point  Lines are called parallels- form complete.

Using Latitude and Longitude.  Relative location: describing the location of a place in relation to another place.  Absolute location: exact location.
