Latitude and Longitude Review

What are latitude and longitude lines? Imaginary lines that divide the Earth Visible lines that divide the Earth C) Long and short lines that divide the Earth

The main line of longitude is called: Equator Northern hemisphere C) Prime Meridian

The main line of latitude is called: Equator Southern hemisphere C) Prime Meridian

_______ lines run from east to west _______ lines run from east to west. They measure distances north and south of the equator. Longitude Latitude C) Primary

_______ lines run from north to south _______ lines run from north to south. They measure distances east and west of the equator. Longitude Latitude C) Primary

Which line divides the Earth into northern and southern hemispheres? equator Prime meridian Longitude Latitude

Which line divides the Earth into western and eastern hemispheres? equator Prime meridian Longitude Latitude

The latitude line at 0 degrees latitude is The equator The Prime Meridian The Tropic of Cancer

The longitude line at 0 degrees latitude is The equator The Prime Meridian The Tropic of Cancer

The intersection (crossing) of the Earth’s latitude and longitude lines form a grid map hemisphere

When writing the location of a place on a map you should write: Longitude, latitude Latitude, longitude Latitude, latitude
