    Uploaded by

    Yolanda Margarita Vazquez Alvarez
    This document provides information about latitude and longitude lines on Earth. It defines that longitude lines are called meridians, which run north to south and measure east/west distances from the Prime Meridian. It also defines that latitude lines are called parallels, which run east to west and measure north/south distances from the Equator. Important parallels mentioned are the Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, Arctic Circle, and Antarctic Circle.

    Homework #5: October 10th, 20189

    Latitude and Longitude


    I. Read the text.
    II. Complete the text with the following words:

    Antarctic Circle Arctic Circle east Eastern


    Equator latitude longitude meridians
    north Northern parallels Prime Meridian
    south Southern Tropic of Cancer
    Tropic of Capricorn west Western

    We use two coordinates latitude and longitude to find places and


    points on Earth.

    These imaginary lines are:


    • Longitude lines are called meridians and they run from north to
    south. Longitude is the distance from East to West of the Prime or
    Greenwich Meridian.

    The Prime Meridian is a vertical line at 0º that divides the earth


    into two hemispheres: Eastern and Western.

    • Latitude lines are called parallels and they run from east to west.
    Latitude is the distance from North to South of the Equator.

    The Equator is a horizontal line at 0º that divides the earth into two
    hemispheres: Northern and Southern.

    Other important parallels are: The Tropic of Cancer at 23ºN, the


    Tropic of Capricorn at 23ºS, the Arctic Circle at 66ºN and the
    Antarctic Circle at 66ºS.
