Map Elements World Cultures

Latitude and Longitude ►The earth is divided into lots of lines called latitude and longitude.

► Latitude Lines lines run east and west (but measure how far NORTH or SOUTH a place is) ► Longitude lines run north and south (but measure how far EAST or WEST a place is) ► The lines measure distances in DEGREES. Latitude Longitude

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

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

How do you write the location? # of degrees North/South, # of degrees East/ West ► Example: What major city is closest to… ► § 30 degrees North, 100 degrees West? ►(Page 12/13 in Atlas) § 45 degrees North, 80 degrees West? ►(Page 12/13 in Atlas)

SO… ► You could write out 20 degrees North, 65 degrees West as

Professionals Use VERY precise measurements of latitude and longitude

But you need to do the approximate degree…

Hemispheres ►By using the equator and prime meridian, we can divide the world into four hemispheres, north, south, east, and west.

Compass Rose ►The needle on a compass is magnetized to point to the earth's north magnetic pole. Thus with a compass, a person can roughly tell which direction they are headed. ►There are four major or cardinal directions on a compass- north, south, east & west. In between are the directions northeast, northwest, southeast, southwest.

Directions ► The cardinal directions are north, south, east, and west. ► The intermediate directions are northeast, southwest and northwest. ► They help describe the location of places in relation to other places.

Scale ►Maps are made to scale; that is, there is a direct connection between a unit of measurement on the map and the actual distance. ►For example, each inch on the map represents one mile on Earth. So, a map of a town would show a mile-long strip of fast food joints and auto dealers in one inch.

Scale

Time Zones ►The Earth is divided into 24 time zones, corresponding to 24 hours in a day. ►As the earth rotates, the sun shines in different areas, moving from east to west during the course of a day. ►Places that have the same longitude will be in the same time zone.

Map Legends ► The legend is the key to unlocking the secrets of a map. Objects or colors in the legend represent something on the map. Religions Legend
