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.

Mapping the Earth: Objective: To demonstrate knowledge of how to locate places on the Earth using absolute location and systems of measurement.

Latitude and Longitude HEMISPHERES. Earth’s Hemispheres The Earth can be divided into four parts or hemispheres: 1)Northern 2)Southern 3)Eastern 4)Western.

Hemispheres To help geographers classify and describe places on Earth, the globe is divided into 4 hemispheres: Northern Southern Western Eastern

Equator: Imaginary line that divides the Northern and Southern Hemisphere Prime Meridian: Imaginary line that divides the Eastern and Western Hemisphere Grid system: criss-crossing lines that help find exact places on earth’s surface

Latitude Lines on the grid system that circle the Earth parallel to the Equator Described as North or South Equator: 0° Poles: 90 ° North/South

Longitude Lines on the grid system that circle the Earth parallel to the Prime Meridian Described as East or West Prime Meridian: 0° The opposite side of the Earth from the Prime Meridian is the International Date Line

Absolute Location Latitude and Longitude describe an absolute location Tokyo, Japan’s absolute location: 36 °N 140 ° E Relative location describes a place in relation of one location to another Tokyo, Japan’s relative location?

Geographic Information Systems Computer program that combines maps, satellite images, statistics, and other data to create a complex map with several layers of information. Google Earth uses GIS technology to present multiple layers of information at the same time. The user chooses the information needed. WANNA SEE?!?!?!
