Coordinates On A World Map The lines that circle the globe in a north-south direction are called the lines of longitude, and the lines that circle the globe in an east-west direction are called the lines of latitude. Lines of longitude are also called meridians. These lines run from the North Pole to the South Pole, crossing the equator at right angles on a globe. The distance between longitudes narrows farther away from the equator. The distance between longitudes at the equator is roughly 69 miles (110 kilometers). Lines of latitude are called parallels, and there are 180 degrees of latitude in total. The distance between each degree of latitude is about 69 miles (110 kilometers). The lines of latitude and longitude intersect each other to form a grid. The points at which the lines of latitude and longitude intersect are called coordinates. These coordinates can be used to find the exact location of any place on earth. a 100 Mo We Oe ow war ao WAT © BP WL Me Wwe EUROPE Seni ASIA * AMERICA| 4 ATLANTIC d PACIFIC 2) epee “OCEAN (OCEAN VS Ney | r | \ \ rT] ) [ ] INDIAN OCEAN [AUSTRALIA & OCEANIA 2 p—— Mom unetionIdentify and write the names of locations found at the given latitud: 1.
