3. Latitude and Longitude
The earth is divided into lots of lines called latitude and longitude.

4. Lines
Latitude lines run east and west (but measure how far NORTH or SOUTH a place is)
Longitude lines run north and south (but measure how far EAST or WEST a place is)
The lines measure distances in DEGREES.

5. Where is 0 degree latitude?
The equator is 0 degree latitude.
It is an imaginary belt that runs halfway point between the North Pole and the South Pole.
Equator

6. Where is 0 degree longitude?P R I M E D A N
Where is 0 degree longitude?
The prime meridian is 0 degrees longitude. This imaginary line runs through the United Kingdom, France, Spain, western Africa, and Antarctica.

7. How do you write the location?
# of degrees North/South, # of degrees East/ West
Example: What major city is closest to…
30 degrees North, 100 degrees West?
(Page 12/13 in Atlas)
45 degrees North, 80 degrees West?
(Page12/13 in Atlas)

8. SO…
You could write out
20 degrees North, 65 degrees West as

9. Professionals Use VERY precise measurements of latitude and longitude

10. But you need to do the approximate degree…

12. Hemispheres
By using the equator and prime meridian, we can divide the world into four hemispheres, north, south, east, and west.

15. Compass Rose
The needle on a compass is magnetized to point to the earth's north magnetic pole. Thus with a compass, a person can roughly tell which direction they are headed.
There are four major or cardinal directions on a compass- north, south, east & west. In between are the directions northeast, northwest, southeast, southwest.

16. Directions The cardinal directions are north, south, east, and west.
The intermediate directions are northeast, southeast, southwest and northwest.
They help describe the location of places in relation to other places.

17. Scale
Maps are made to scale; that is, there is a direct connection between a unit of measurement on the map and the actual distance.
For example, each inch on the map represents one mile on Earth. So, a map of a town would show a mile-long strip of fast food joints and auto dealers in one inch.

19. Time Zones
The Earth is divided into 24 time zones, corresponding to 24 hours in a day.
As the earth rotates, the sun shines in different areas, moving from east to west during the course of a day.
Places that have the same longitude will be in the same time zone.

The legend is the key to unlocking the secrets of a map. Objects or colors in the legend represent something on the map.
