8. Hemispheres

9. “Sphere” means 3D circle or our globe.
Hemisphere
“Hemi” means half.
“Sphere” means 3D circle or our globe.
So hemisphere means half of the globe.

10. THE EQUATOR
The Earth is divided into a northern half and a southern half by an imaginary line called the equator
These
halves are
called
hemispheres

12. If your body was a globe, the equator would be your waist!

13. Prime Meridian
The Prime Meridian is an imaginary line that connects the North Pole
and the South Pole on one
side of the Earth.
It runs through a place
called Greenwich
(pronounced Gren’ich),
England.

15. If your body was a globe, the Prime Meridian go from the top of your head to your feet on the front side of your body.

16. International Date Line
The International
Date Line is an
imaginary line that
runs from the North
Pole to the South Pole
on the opposite side of
the earth from the
Prime Meridian.

18. On your body globe, the International Date Line would be from the top of your head to your feet on the backside of your body

19. Eastern and Western Hemispheres
The Prime Meridian and the International Date Line divide the Earth into two more hemispheres

21. The Earth has 4 Hemispheres
Northern
Southern
Eastern
Western

22. Latitude and Longitude

23. Latitude and Longitude Lines
Latitude and longitude lines are imaginary lines on the earth’s surface that make up a grid used to find location.

24. Why are Latitude and Longitude Lines Measured in Degrees?
In math, circles are measured in degrees.
There are 360° in a circle
Since the earth is basically circular it was decided to measure latitude and longitude in degrees.

25. Equator The first line of latitude is the Equator=0°
All other lines of latitude are measured in degrees North or South of the Equator
How many degrees of latitude do you think the equator represents.

26. Latitude Lines Latitude lines run east and west around the globe
They tell you a location’s distance north or south of the equator

28. Latitude Lines Think of latitude lines like the rungs of a ladder
Lat/Fat
They are parallel lines

29. Prime Meridian The first line of longitude is the Prime Meridian=0°
All other longitude lines are measured in degrees East or West of the Prime Meridian

31. Longitude Lines
Longitude lines run from north to south around the globe
They tell you a location’s distance east or west of the Prime Meridian

32. Longitude Lines
When you think of longitude lines think of tall telephone poles
Remember longitude lines run from pole to pole
LONGitude

33. To Find Latitude For example 60 °N
1. Go to your starting line (the Equator)
2. Determine which direction you must go (north or south)
3. Determine the distance in degrees you must go (60)

34. To Find Longitude For example 40°E
Go to your starting line (the Prime Meridian)
Determine which direction you must go (east or west)
Determine the distance in degrees you must go (40)

35. How to use Longitude and Latitude
When listing latitude and longitude place the latitude coordinate first
Remember to include the direction with the number
Example:
60°N, 40°E

36. Finding Coordinates
Find the place where the latitude and longitude lines intersect and you are done!

37. Why do we use Latitude and Longitude Lines?

38. Finding your location
GPS
Global Positioning System

39. Using Longitude and Latitude
Tracking the path of a hurricane

40. Using Longitude and Latitude
Rescuing a sinking ship

41. Using Longitude and Latitude
Guiding missiles to a specific location
Can you think of any other uses for longitude and latitude?
