around Earth, we use geographic coordinates measurements of latitude and longitude.
Lines of latitude are imaginary parallel lines that circle the globe in an eastwest direction. Grid coordinates latitude and longitude The Equator divides Earth into northern and southern hemispheres. Latitude measures how many degrees north or south a point on Earth lies from the Equator. Grid coordinates latitude and longitude What is the name given to the imaginary line of latitude at: Tropic of Capricorn 23.5 O south of the Equator?
Grid coordinates latitude and longitude What is the name given to the imaginary line of latitude at: 23.5 O north of the Equator?
Tropic of Cancer Grid coordinates latitude and longitude What is the name given to the imaginary line of latitude at: 66.5 O south of the Equator?
Antarctic Circle Grid coordinates latitude and longitude What is the name given to the imaginary line of latitude at: 66.5 O north of the Equator?
Arctic Circle Grid coordinates latitude and longitude Lines or meridians of longitude are imaginary lines between the North and South Poles. Grid coordinates latitude and longitude Longitude measures how many degrees east or west a point on Earth is from the Prime Meridian. Grid coordinates latitude and longitude The Prime Meridian is the meridian of longitude at 0 O . It divides Earth into eastern and western hemispheres. Grid coordinates latitude and longitude What is the name given to the imaginary line at 180 O
from the Prime Meridian? International Date Line Grid coordinates latitude and longitude Find out why it is given this name. Suggest why it is this shape. International Date Line Grid coordinates latitude and longitude The exact location of any place on Earth is given by its geographic coordinates. You can find examples in the index of your atlas. Measurements for latitude and longitude are given in degrees (and minutes). Latitude is stated first, then longitude. Sydneys geographic coordinates are: 33.52S 151.10E Grid coordinates latitude and longitude Tokyos geographic coordinates are: 35.40N 139.45E Tokyo Grid coordinates latitude and longitude Washingtons geographic coordinates are: 38.55N 77.00W Washington Grid coordinates latitude and longitude Cairos geographic coordinates are: 30.03N 31.15E Cairo Grid coordinates latitude and longitude Cape Towns geographic coordinates are: 33.56S 18.28E Cape Town Latitude and longitude quiz What is maximum number of degrees it is possible to move north of the Equator? Answer 90 O What is this point called? Answer The North Pole Latitude and longitude quiz What is maximum number of degrees it is possible to move south of the Equator? Answer 90 O What is this point called? Answer The South Pole Latitude and longitude quiz Fill in the gaps. Lines of longitude are used as the basis of the worlds _____ zones. They measure degrees _____ and west of the ______ Meridian.
The _______ measurement is always given first, followed by the _________ measurement. Measurements are in _________ and minutes. latitude degrees time longitude east Prime latitude longitude degrees time Prime east Atlas activity Order the capitals from north to south.
