LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE-COMPARE AND CONTRAST
Task: Choose two locations with very different locations. Determine each location’s latitude and longitude.
Compare and contrast the climate of the two locations.

Process: Students will compare and contrast two different places based on climate.
Follow these directions:
• Choose two places with very different locations. (Eg: California and Cape town)
• Determine the latitude and longitude of each location you chose.
• Think about the climate of each of your locations.
• How are they the same? How are they different? Draw and Complete a Venn diagram.
• Look at surrounding locations and respond to the following questions in a well-developed paragraph:
• How do the climates of your two chose locations differ? How are they the same (if at all)? Does either
latitude or longitude have more effect on a place’s climate? Which one and how do you know? Provide
examples of other places with similar climate and that place’s latitude and longitude.
