Relative Location Relative location describes the spatial relationships between and among places Where something is in relationship to something else

Ex: Scotland is north of England

What is Wales’ relative location from England?

What is London’s relative location from Manchester?

The English Channel is _____ of England.

Relative Location of the Continents

Absolute Location Latitude and longitude define absolute location Use of a grid to find exact location

Lines of latitude East-west lines which measure distances north and south of the equator Measured in degrees Also called parallels

Major Lines of Latitude Locate these on a map Equator: 0° latitude (halfway between the poles) Tropic of Cancer: 23 1/2 ° north Tropic of Capricorn: 23 1/2° south Arctic Circle: 66 1/2° north Antarctic Circle: 66 1/2° south North Pole: 90° north South Pole: 90° south

Lines of longitude North-south lines which measure distances east and west of the Prime Meridian Measured in degrees Also called meridians

Major Lines of Longitude Locate these on a map Prime Meridian: 0° longitude; runs through Greenwich, England International Date Line: 180° longitude

Hemispheres Halves of the earth (Hemi=half) Equator creates the northern and southern hemispheres Prime Meridian creates the eastern and western hemispheres

What country is located at 0 degrees and 80 degrees West What country is located at 0 degrees and 80 degrees West? What city is located at 34 degrees S, 70 degrees W?
