2 Latitude lines run east/west but they measure north or south of the equator (0°) splitting the earth into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere.

4 Latitude Latitude Lines of latitude are numbered from 0° at the equator to 90° N at the North Pole. Lines of latitude are numbered from 0° at the equator to 90° S at the South Pole.

6 Longitude Longitude Lines of longitude are numbered east from the Prime Meridian and west from the Prime Meridian. PRIME MERIDIAN West Longitude East Longitude 0° N EW S North Pole

7 Longitude Lines of longitude begin at the Prime Meridian. 60° W is the 60° line of longitude west of the Prime Meridian. The Prime Meridian is located at 0°. It is neither east or west 60° E is the 60° line of longitude east of the Prime Meridian. WE

8 Prime Meridian The Prime Meridian (0°) splits the earth into the Western Hemisphere and Eastern Hemisphere. Prime Meridian The Prime Meridian (0°) splits the earth into the Western Hemisphere and Eastern Hemisphere. Western Hemisphere Places located east of the Prime Meridian have an east longitude (E) address. Places located west of the Prime Meridian have a west longitude (W) address. Eastern Hemisphere Prime Meridian

9 Any location north of the equator is a NORTH LATITUDE

10 Any location south of the equator is a SOUTH LATITUDE

11 Any location west of the prime meridian is a WEST LONGITUDE

12 Any location east of the prime meridian is an EAST LONGITUDE

13 By combining latitude and longitude, any location can be pinpointed

14 See If You Can Tell In Which Hemispheres These Lon/Lats Are Located 1. 41°N, 21°E 2. 37°N, 76°W 3. 72°S, 141°W 4. 7°S, 23°W 5. 15°N, 29°E 6. 34°S, 151°E AB C D
