STUDY QUESTIONS Pg 49 1,7,9,12 NEED WORLD MAP TO COMPLETE DUE:

Prologue 1) Columbus – 4 trips Voyages of DiscoveryVoyages of Discovery 2) Magellan and Drake – Sailed around the world 3) Captain Cook – 3 voyages. 3 rd trip the most famous; located the Hawaiian Islands.

Gulf Stream Discovered and used by Benjamin Franklin and Folger. Benjamin Franklin was the first Postmaster General.Discovered and used by Benjamin Franklin and Folger. Benjamin Franklin was the first Postmaster General. Decreased the time it took for mail to travel by using the Gulf Stream. Matthew F. Maury is known as the Father of Oceanography. Lt. in the U.S. Navy.

Latitude Parallel is also known as a latitude line Measure North to South Lines run on the earth East and West Measure from the equator 0°  90° North or South

Longitude Meridians is also known as a longitude line Measure East to West Line run North and South Measure from the prime meridian - 0° longitude International Date Line 180° longitude Great Circle- All longitude lines and the equator

Important Measurements Nautical mile = 2000 yards 1° of latitude or longitude = 60 minutes longitude or latitude 1 hour of time = 15 degrees of longitude Time is based at the GMT – Greenwich Mean Time. Runs through Greenwich, England.
