Latitude Lines

circle the globe in an east-west direction parallel to the equator.

measure how far north or south a point on Earth is from the equator.

The equator is 0o latitude. North of the equator

locations are from 0o to 90oN

Longitude Longitude lines run from

the North to the South Pole

The Prime Meridian in Greenwich, England is 0o longitude

East of the Prime Meridian the values are 0 to 180oE

West of the Prime Meridian the values are 0 to 180o W

Hemispheres

By using the equator and prime meridian, we can divide the world into four hemispheres, north, south, east, and west.

Northern Hemisphere

The Northern Hemisphere is 39% land and 61% Ocean

Equator

Northern Hemisphere

The majority of land and the majority of the world's population is in the Northern Hemisphere, so we tend to orient world maps with North at the top

N.America

Africa

Asia

Southern Hemisphere

Notice that the Southern Hemisphere is 19% land and 81% Ocean

CompassA compass is a tool that helps the user know what direction one is headed.

North does NOT always point up

Compass Rose

The needle on a compass is magnetized to point to the earth's north magnetic pole. Thus with a compass, a person can roughly tell which direction they are headed.

Directions

The cardinal directions are north, south, east, and west.

The intermediate directions are northeast, southeast, southwest and northwest.

They help describe the location of places in relation to other places.

Scale Maps are made to scale; that is,

there is a direct connection between a unit of measurement on the map and the actual distance.

For example, each inch on the map represents one mile on Earth. So, a map of a town would show a mile-long strip of fast food joints and auto dealers in one inch.
