Presentation transcript:

Definitions Regions: Places that have common characteristics; areas having no specific boundaries. Common characteristics: Same features that belong to a place or region. Longitude: Grid lines on a globe going north and south. Latitude: Grid lines on a globe going east and west. Hemisphere: Half of the globe created by the prime meridian or the equator. Equator: An imaginary line around the middle of the earth that divides the globe into the northern and southern hemispheres. Prime meridian: An imaginary line that divides the globe into the eastern and western hemispheres.
