Latitude & Longitude

Location There are two ways to find location in geography: Relative Location – the location of one place in relation to another Absolute Location – the exact position of a place on the earth’s surface

Grid System Latitude – Lines that circle the earth parallel to the Equator and measure the distance north or south of the Equator in degrees Lat. - Ladder Lat. – Fat, belt=Equator

Grid System Longitude – Lines that circle the earth from Pole to Pole. Measure distances east or west of the Prime Meridian. Long Longitude – Each line is as long as the others

Grid System Together, Latitude and Longitude form a grid system EVERY place on earth has an absolute location and can be found using Latitude and Longitude.

Using Latitude & Longitude Just like a graph in math, first find your Axis. (0°, 0°) Prime Meridian Equator

Finding Latitude Move North or South on the Prime Meridian (0°) until you reach the correct line of latitude. Example: 30° N

Finding Longitude After you’ve found the line of latitude, move east or west until you reach the line of longitude Example: 30°N, 90°E

Results! China! You’ve now reached your final destination. What country is located at 30°N, 90°E?

Russia! Practice What country is located at the following coordinates: 60°N, 60°E Russia!

Practice What sea is located at the following coordinates: 60°N, 60°W Labrador Sea

Practice Fiji Which Island Nation is found at the following coordinates: 19°S, 175°E
