Locating places on Eath
using coordinate system

graphical
representation of an
area, land or sea,
depicting physical
features.

spherical model of the
Earth

LATITUDE
- Horizontal imaginary
lines that run from
East to West of a Map
or a Globe
- Measured in Degree
()
 EQUATOR
- The starting line in
measurement of latitude is
the Equator
- The Equator is
assigned a latitude value of
0 degree (0 latitude)
- Divides the earth into
Northern Hemisphere and
Southern Hemisphere
 NORTHERN HEMISPHERE
 Located above the
equator up to the
North pole
 Extend above the
equator to 90 N
going up
SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE
- An area located
down to the south
pole
- Extends below
to the equator to
90 going down
(90 S )
- Notable
latitudes shown in
the pictures is given
special names
- The latitude of
a place has
something to do
with its climate
 TROPICS
 The part of the world
between the tropic of
cancer and the tropic of
Capricorn is called TROPICS
 Countries located in this
zone experience tropical
Climate
 Annual average
temperature is above 18 C
 NORTHERN TEMPERATE ZONE
SOUTHERN TEMPERATE ZONE
 Between the tropic of cancer
and the arctic circle is the
Northern Temperate Zone
 And between the tropic of
Capricorn and Antarctic circle
is Southern Temperate Zone
 Countries Located in these
Zones experience four
seasons
 POLAR/FRIGID ZONE
 Areas within the arctic
circle and Antarctic circle
are called polar or Frigid
zones
 Countries located in
these zones experience
cold temperature all year
round
LONGITUDE
-- Vertical
imaginary lines that
run from North to
South of a Map or
Globe
-- Measured as
Degree ()
 PRIME MERIDIAN
 The starting point of
measuring longitude is the
prime meridian
 Located on 0
 Referred to as 0 longitude
 The prime meridian dived the
earth into another pair of
hemispheres
 WESTERN HEMISPHERE

 Extends from
the prime meridian
to 180 going to the
left
 SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE

- Extends from
the prime
meridian to 180
going right
 The closer the latitude to the
equator the warmer the
temperature

And the closer it is to

the pole, the colder the
temperature
QUIZ!
 ASSIGNMENT

- Choose 1 zone (tropic zone,

northern/southern temperate zone,
and polar zone) to draw about its
season/s
Science is a way of
thinking much
morethan it is a body
of knowledge
