2 Vocabulary This word is abstract. If something is abstract then it is not concrete or real. If you cross the Alaska state line you do not actually see a line on the ground. The Alaska state line is _____________.

3 Vocabulary Abstract geographical features like state boarders, the Equator, and lines of latitude and longitude are visible on maps and globes, but are not visible on Earth. If something is ____________ then it is not concrete or real.

4 Vocabulary This word is latitude. Lines of latitude are abstract, or imaginary lines that can help you find a location on a map or globe.

5 Vocabulary Latitude lines are equally spaced apart. The lines of latitude look like the rungs (the part you step on) on a ladder.

6 Vocabulary Latitude lines run parallel to the Equator. A line of __________ can help me find a location on a map or globe.

7 Review Look at this picture. Number 1 tell number 2 the star’s latitude location. “I see the star is located at latitude _________ degrees north of the Equator.”

8 Vocabulary This word is longitude. Lines of longitude are abstract, or imaginary lines that can help you find a location on a map or globe.

9 Vocabulary Lines of longitude are not evenly spaced apart. Longitude lines are closer together at the poles and farthest away from each other at the Equator, like the wedges of an orange.

10 Vocabulary Lines of longitude intersect the Equator line at a perpendicular, or right angle. A line of __________ can help me find a location on a map or globe.

11 Review Look at this picture. Number 2 tell number 1 the star’s longitude location. “I see the star is located at longitude _________ degrees west of the Prime Meridian.”

12 Vocabulary This word is converge. When two things come from different directions and eventually meet they converge.

13 Vocabulary Number 2’s tell number 1’s if these two objects converge.

14 Vocabulary Number 1’s tell number 2’s if these two objects converge.

15 Vocabulary If I know the latitude and longitude coordinates for Nome, AK I know the point at which the two lines ________.
