A globe is a scale model of Earth A globe is a scale model of Earth. It is useful for looking at the whole planet or at large areas of its land and water surface. mapsnworld.com

One of the first things you will notice on the globe on this page is a pattern of lines. These lines circle the globe in east-west and north-south directions. This pattern is called a grid. rainbowlightfoundation.net

The grid is made up of lines of latitude and longitude The grid is made up of lines of latitude and longitude. Lines of latitude are drawn in an east-west direction. Lines of longitude are drawn in a north-south direction. geographyworldonline.com

The intersection of these imaginary lines helps us find the location of places. Lines of latitude measure distance north and south of the equator. The equator is an imaginary line that circles the globe halfway between Earth’s North Pole and South Pole. astronomy.swin.edu.au 

Lines of latitude are also called parallels Lines of latitude are also called parallels. This is because they are always parallel to the equator and each other. oceanclassrooms.com

Lines of longitude are called meridians Lines of longitude are called meridians. They measure distance east and west of the prime meridian. This is an imaginary line drawn from the North Pole through Greenwich, England, to the South Pole. www.wbwells.com

Parallels and meridians measure distance in degrees Parallels and meridians measure distance in degrees. The symbol of degree is °. Degrees are further divided into minutes, for which the symbol is ´. There are 60 minutes in a degree. www.dauntless-soft.com

Parallels north of the equator are marked with an N Parallels north of the equator are marked with an N. Those south of the equator are marked with an S. Lines of latitude range from 0°, for locations on the equator, to 90°, for locations at the North Pole and South Pole. geophysics.ou.edu

Lines of longitude range from 0° on the prime meridian to 180° on a meridian in the mid-Pacific Ocean. Meridians west of the prime meridian to 180° are labeled with a W. Those east of the prime meridian are labeled with an E. technologyprojects4kids.com

The globe’s grid does more than help us locate places The globe’s grid does more than help us locate places. Geographers also use those grid lines to organize the way we look at our world. For example, the equator divides the globe into two halves, or hemispheres. www.maps.com

The half lying north of the equator is the Northern Hemisphere The half lying north of the equator is the Northern Hemisphere. The southern half is the Southern Hemisphere. kashif-ali.com 

The prime meridian and the 180° meridian divide the world into the Eastern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere. www.learner.org 

The prime meridian separates parts of Europe and Africa into two different hemispheres. To avoid this separation, some geographers divide the Eastern and Western Hemispheres in the Atlantic Ocean at 20° W. Doing so places all of Europe and Africa in the Eastern Hemisphere. www.etsy.com

We can also organize our planet’s land surface into seven large land masses called continents. These are seven continents: Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, South America. kids.britannica.com

Asia, the largest , is more than five times the size of Australia, the smallest. www.worldatlas.com 

Landmasses smaller than continents and completely surrounded by water are called islands. Greenland is the world’s largest island. www.worldatlas.com

Geographers also organize Earth’s water surface into separate areas Geographers also organize Earth’s water surface into separate areas. The largest area is the global ocean. Geographers further divided the ocean into four areas: the Atlantic Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the Pacific Ocean. ed101.bu.edu 

The Pacific is the largest ocean and the world’s largest geographic feature. It is more than 12 times the size of the smallest ocean, the Arctic.

Smaller bodies of waters include seas, gulfs, and lakes Smaller bodies of waters include seas, gulfs, and lakes. Gulfs and seas, such as the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, are areas of salt water that are connected to the larger oceans. www.utmsi.utexas.edu

Lakes are inland bodies of water Lakes are inland bodies of water. Although it is called a sea, the Caspian Sea in Asia is really the world’s largest lake. www.ilike2learn.com
