Learning Intention: 8.ESS3.2 Tectonics & Natural Disasters Science Notes: Stnd 22 Date Learning Intention: 8.ESS3.2 Tectonics & Natural Disasters Collect data, map, and describe patterns in the locations of volcanoes and earthquakes related to tectonics processes... Mapping Volcanoes Agenda 1) Examine/discuss geographic coordinate systems 2) Examine/discuss using latitude and longitude 3) Map volcanoes 5) Analyze and discuss results
Geographic Coordinate System: Latitude and Longitude Parallel horizontal lines and parallel vertical lines are drawn on the globe so that the entire planet is divided in a series of boxes. Each line is numbered, and any location on Earth can be identified as being in one of these boxes according to its unique numbers called coordinates. Link (57 sec): Longitude and Latitude
Answer How to Determine Coordinates What are the coordinates for this ship wreck? Ship Wreck Answer Step 01: Find upward coordinate (latitude), & add in N, S, E. or W. Step 02: Find lateral coordinate (longitude), & add in N, S, E. or W.
How to know which letter to add N, S, E, or W. Prime Meridian (Vertical Line) Latitude: North Longitude: West Latitude: North Longitude: East Equator (Horizontal Line) Latitude: South Longitude: West Latitude: South Longitude: East
