    Latitude and Longitude For Demo

    Uploaded by

    CATHLEEN
    This document provides information about latitude and longitude. It defines latitude and longitude as imaginary lines that help locate places on Earth and measure distances between locations. It identifies the five most important lines of latitude as the Arctic Circle, Tropic of Cancer, Equator, Tropic of Capricorn, and Antarctic Circle. It also explains that lines of longitude run perpendicular to latitude lines and are used together in a coordinate system to precisely identify locations on Earth.

    Direction: Identify the coordinate pairs
    of the following items. Write your
    answers in the space provided for.
    GLOBE

    The globe is the model of Planet Earth.

    It is the shape of a sphere or a ball.

    We usually use the globe to find places on


    Earth.
    MAP

    A two-dimensional graphical
    representation of an area, land or area,
    depicting physical features
    COORDINATE SYSTEM

    A method for identifying the location of a


    point on the Earth.
    Lines of Latitude and Longitude

    It is difficult to find a place on the globe. Therefore, scientists created imaginary


    lines to make it easier.
    Lines of Latitude and Longitude

    These imaginary lines are called lines of latitude and longitude.

    These lines help us to

    Find out about


    Locate places Measure distances
    climate regions
    The Equator

    The equator is the line that cuts the Earth into two equal parts called
    hemispheres.
    Northern Hemisphere.

    The part which is to the north of the equator.


    Southern Hemisphere

    The part which is to the south of the equator.


    Lines of Latitude

    Lines of latitude are parallel to the equator.


    Lines of Latitude

    They run East to West.


    Lines of Latitude

    They are used to locate places on the globe and determine all climate regions
    around the world.
    Lines of Latitude

    They are measured by degrees (°). The equator is 0° latitude.


    Lines of Latitude

    There are 90 lines of latitude to the North of the equator and 90 lines to its
    South.
    Lines of Latitude

    Arctic Circle

    Tropic of Cancer

    The Equator

    Tropic of Capricorn

    Antarctic Circle

    The most important 5 lines of latitude


    Lines of Longitude

    The lines of longitude are perpendicular to the lines of latitude. All lines of
    longitude run through both the North and South Poles.
    Lines of Longitude

    The lines of longitude are also called Meridians. They all have the same
    length.
    The Prime Meridian

    It is the line of longitude which passes through Greenwich, England, is


    internationally agreed to be the line 0° line of longitude.

    Lines of Longitude

    There are 180 degrees of longitude to the East of the Prime Meridian and 180
    degrees of longitude to its West.

    How Places on Earth
    may be Located using
    Coordinate System
    Using the ASIA Map, locate the
    places on Earth using the coordinates
    given. The group who locates the
    places first will be declared the
    winner."
    Situation 1:
    You are an investigator, and you were
    told investigate in these coordinates: 20
    degrees latitude and 90-degrees
    longitude. Now locate it on the map.
    Situation 2:
    You were born a pirate, but a good pirate and
    you are the protector of the seas because the sea
    is your treasure and you wanted to protect it
    from bad people. You received a report that
    there is a poacher collecting endangered species
    of turtles in these coordinates 40 degrees
    latitude and 125 degrees longitude.
