LOCATING PLACES
A. Geographic
Coordinate System
• is used to locate places
on Earth using reference
points in vertical and
horizontal positions
INSTRUMENTS – LOCATING PLACES
GLOBE - 2D (Two- Dimensional)

- More practical
- Not accurate
- 3D (Three-
Dimensional)
- Shows the actual shape
of Earth MAP
- Difficult to carry
GEOGRAPHIC COORDINATE SYSTEM
A. Lines of Longitude/ Meridian

- Imaginary, vertical lines in a
map or globe that meet at
West
the poles
(North to South) East
- distance between East and
West of the Prime Meridian
- numbered from 0° to 180 °
Important Lines of Longitude
1. Prime Meridian 180
90
0° degree longitude
- used as Reference point Prime Meridian
from which East and West
longitude is measured. East
West
- It passes through Greenwich,
England .
0°
180°
2. International Date Line
(IDL)
International Date
Line (IDL)
- 180° longitude + 1 day
- defining the boundary between one East
day and the next
- zigzag to avoid passing
through a country that may
- 1 day
result to difference in West

GRID SYSTEM OF THE EARTH
B. Lines of Latitude/ Parallels

- Imaginary horizontal lines that North
run around the globe, parallel to
the equator
- distance between the North and
the South from the Equator
- expressed in degrees from
0° (Equator) to South
90° (North and South poles)

STEPS ON HOW TO LOCATE

PLACES USING COORDINATE
LATITUDE SYSTEM?
Remember:
Latitude first before Longitude
To find a Latitude line:
Ex. 60°North latitude,
1.Go to your starting line, Equator
2. Determine which direction you
must go (North or South).
3. Determine the distance in
degrees you must go
(Ex. 60°).

To find a Longitude line:
Ex. 40°East longitude,

1.Go to your starting line,
Prime Meridian
2. Determine which direction you
must go (East or West)
3. Determine the distance in
degrees you must go (Ex. 40°)
