The next step in mastering LATITUDE and LONGITUDE

The next step in mastering LATITUDE and LONGITUDE

In this lesson you will… • recall what you know about latitude and longitude so far. • learn how to find a location on Earth by its coordinates, or latitude and longitude. • practice the skill.

NAME SECTION DATE DIRECTIONS: Let's take a trip around the world. Study the map on this page. Use the latitude and longitude coordinates for the cities listed below to find their locations. Then, label each city's approximate location on the map with a letter. Finally, connect the dots in order, A through J, with straight lines. For help, refer to atlas pages in your text or look at the classroom wall map. Latitude is always given first. It tells how far north or south of the equator you are. Longitude is always given second. It tells how far east or west of the prime meridian you are. You need a copy of this Study Sheet to complete this lesson. Latitude lines are called parallels because they are always the same distance apart. Longitude lines, also called meridians, meet at the poles so they are not always the same distance apart. The one going through Greenwich, England is the prime, or first, meridian. The prime meridian is at 0° longitude. The equator is at 0° latitude. A.

What is Latitude? Recall that latitude lines run around the globe in a/an ______ east-west direction. They really measure the distance from the ________. equator latitude numbers The boundary separating the northern and southern hemispheres is the equator

What is Latitude? Another name for latitude lines is ________ parallels because they are always the same distance apart. Latitude tells howor farsouth _______ of north the equator you are. latitude numbers

What is Longitude? Longitude lines, also called ______, meridians run in a north-south direction and meet at the poles. The one going through Greenwich, England is the prime first, ormeridian _______. So, were you thinking of 15? longitude numbers Notice how the degrees count on this map. By 5 s, 10 s, 20 s, or what?

What is Longitude? The prime meridian divides the globe into two hemispheres. The on the left is the hemisphere __________ and the on the right is the hemisphere western eastern __________. WESTERN EASTERN west of the prime meridian you east Longitude tells how far ____ or _____

Put the Ideas Together The map below is in fourths, or quadrants. When coordinates are given, the latitude will be north or south of the equator by some number of degrees. It is given first. longitude numbers latitude numbers The longitude will be east or west of the prime meridian in degrees, and

Get ready to take a trip around the world. On your matching map, find and label with an “ A” New Orleans, Louisiana 30°N latitude, 90°W longitude A. THINK: above the equator and left of the prime meridian

Next, on your matching map, find and label with a “ B” Brasilia, Brazil 15°S latitude, 45°W longitude A. B. THINK: below the equator and left of the prime meridian

Next, on your matching map, find and label with a “ C” Dakar, Senegal 15°N latitude, 15°W longitude A. C. B. THINK: above the equator and left of the prime meridian

Next, find and label with a “ D” Stockholm, Sweden 60°N latitude, 15°E longitude D. A. C. B. THINK: above the equator and right of the prime meridian

Next, find and label with a “ E” Cairo, Egypt 30°N latitude, 30°E longitude D. E. A. C. B. THINK: above the equator and right of the prime meridian

Next, find and label with a “ F” Bangalore, India 15°N latitude, 75°E longitude D. E. A. C. F. B. What are you thinking? above the equator and to the right of the prime meridian

Next, find and label with a “ G” Manila, Philippines 15°N latitude, 120°E longitude D. E. A. C. F. G. B. What are you thinking? above the equator and to the right of the prime meridian

Next, find and label with a “ H” Sydney, Australia 27°S latitude, 150°E longitude D. E. A. C. F. G. B. H. Remember what you know when you have to estimate.

You’re Almost Finished Next, find and label with a “ I” Honolulu, Hawaii 20°N latitude, 155°W longitude D. E. A. I. C. F. G. B. H. Be as precise as you can when estimating.

Last One Last, find and label with a “ J” Los Angeles, California 35°N latitude, 116°W longitude D. J. E. A. I. C. F. G. B. H. Are you on the correct side of the lines?

Finally… Use a ruler to connect the dots in order, A through J with straight lines. Remember, however, that this is a flat map but that you went around globe. D. J. E. A. I. C. F. G. B. H. Do NOT freehand, but use a ruler. the

Your trip should resemble this. You can hold up your map to the Answer Key map and see if they agree. D. J. E. A. I. C. F. G. B. H.

Time Zones • Time zones are broad strips that measure 15 degrees wide. • Time zones differ from their neighboring time zones by 1 hour. • The continental U. S. has 4 time zones, Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific. • In the Spring we shift the clocks 1 hour ahead. This is called. Daylight Saving Time. • In the Fall we shift the clocks 1 hour back.

Time Zones

Time Zones (cont…) Local Time and Universal Time Local Time- is what we use everyday, and regulates our lives. Examples of Local Time are: meal time, sleep time, work time, and school time Universal Time- is what we use when we need a time that is agreed upon marking time world-wide. An example when Universal Time was used was when a supernova in 1987 was first seen. Astronomers, and Astronauts use Universal Time. .

Time Zones (cont…. ) • Greenwich Mean Time- is the time that is registered at Greenwich, England. **Greenwich Mean Time is another name for Universal Time. The International Dateline was established following the 180 th meridian, where ever we cross it the date advances 1 day ( if you are going west), or goes back 1 day (if you are going east).
