ÀEarth is so big that you cannot
see all of it at once even in the
picture. With the help of the
globe, you can see how the
whole planet looks like.
LOCATING THE
PHILIPPINES ON
A GLOBE
 The following are the globe’s distinct
parts:
1. Equator – an imaginary line that divides Earth into
two equal parts. The upper part is called Northern
Hemisphere and the lower part is called Southern
Hemisphere.
2. North Pole – the top portion of the globe.
3. South Pole – the bottom portion of the globe.
4. Latitude – lines that runs horizontally around the
globe.
5. Longitude – vertical lines in the globe that converge
at the poles.
6. International Date Line (IDL) – it indicates a
part of the earth where the start of one date and the
end of another day overlap.
7. Prime Meridian – is a meridian in a geographic
coordinate system at which longitude is defined to be
0°.

land area of the planet.
ÀThe Pacific Ocean is the biggest and the deepest of the five
oceans it covers the 3/8 of the total surface of the Earth’s
Oceans.
ÀThe deepest part of the ocean floor is the oceanic trench.
