3. Latitude and Longitude – parallel lines circling the Political maps – maps that show name and boundaries of countries and locations of cities Earth used to find locations Latitude lines are “stacked” and are measured in degrees North or South of the Equator Longitude lines run “up and down” from North to South Pole and are measured in degrees East or West from the Prime Meridian (located in Greenwich, England)
