Latitude/Longitude

Bell Ringer 9/14/16 • On your bell ringer sheet: Why do we use latitude and longitude? • NOW, TAKE OUT YOUR MAP FROM YESTERDAY!!!! • Get out a sheet of paper: Date: 9/14/16 LATITUDE/LONGITUDE NOTES!

Objective/Agenda • To be able to use latitude and longitude to locate places on a map 1. BR review 2. Notes 3. LAT/LONG practice!

Lines • Longitude lines run north and south. • Latitude lines run east and west. • The lines measure distances in degrees. Latitude Longitude

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

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

Hemispheres • By using the equator and prime meridian, we can divide the world into four hemispheres (half spheres), north, south, east, and west.

Label your Map • Let’s flip your map around and label the hemispheres

Hemispheres

Using Latitude and Longitude Let’s try and locate places on the map given their coordinates (Latitude and Longitude) 1. 30* S Latitude, 140* E. Longitude 2. 60* N Latitude, 30 * E. Longitude 3. 45* N Latitude, 90* W. Longitude

Practice • Latitude and Longitude Practice • Put your name/#/date on it if you haven’t already! • Let’s try #1 together, then do the rest on your own. When you finish, come up and show it to me! I will check it, then go on to the back page

Homework/Reminders • Quiz on Friday over vocab (fill in the blank. It’s easy. Don’t worry) • Interview and vocab due Friday. • Check gradebook! • If you are struggling with LAT/LONG, do the rest of the practice sheet for work tonight!

Exit Slip • On the back of your map, answer the following: (do not write questions, turn in when done) 1. Which way do lines of LATITUDE measure (N/S or E/W? ) 2. Which way do lines of LONGITUDE meansure? (N/S or E/W? ) 3. The equator is _______ degrees latitude 4. The prime meridian is ____ degrees longitude
