What is meant by Earth’s rotation?

What is meant by the revolution of Earth?

How does this affect our day and a year?

Page 3: Let’s practice…

What is meant by Earth’s rotation? *spinning on it’s axis (every 24 hours)

What is meant by the revolution of Earth?* full trip around the sun on the orbit (365 days)

Effects:*Daytime/Night (length of each, temperature differential)*Seasons (temperature, precipitation, biodiversity)

Page 9: Let’s practice…

Before the end of class you should be able to….

1. Locate the a country given the degrees of latitude and longitude

2. Explain how GPS (the mapping system in your phone or car) relates to this topic and how it works.

Please take Cornell Notes during the presentation!

Page 10: Let’s practice…

What is GPS? How

does it work? What do lines of

latitude and longitude have to do

with it?

Page 11: Let’s practice…

Let’s INFER before I EXPLAIN how GPS works….

This is the guy who just ran off with your cell phone (it’s being tracked).

Page 12: Let’s practice…

How does the Global Positioning System work?

Page 13: Let’s practice…

Each GPS satellite transmits data that indicates its location and the current time to receivers that passively receive the signals. All GPS satellites synchronize operations so that these repeating signals are transmitted at the same instant. The signals, moving at the speed of light, arrive at a GPS receiver at slightly different times because some satellites are farther away than others. The distance to the GPS satellites can be determined by estimating the amount of time it takes for their signals to reach the receiver. When the receiver estimates the distance to at least four GPS satellites, it can calculate its position in three dimensions.

There are at least 24 operational GPS satellites at all times. The satellites, operated by the U.S. Air Force, orbit with a period of 12 hours. Ground stations are used to precisely track each satellite's orbit.

A GPS receiver "knows" the location of the satellites, because that information is included in satellite transmissions. By estimating how far away a satellite is, the receiver also "knows" it is located somewhere on the surface of an imaginary sphere centered at the satellite. It then determines the sizes of several spheres, one for each satellite. The receiver is located where these spheres intersect.

The relationship between these units resemble time. By general standards, 1 degree latitude equals 69 miles, 1 degree longitude equals 42 miles. 1 minute latitude is equivalent to 6072 feet and 1 minute longitude equates to 3696 feet. 1 second equates to 101.2 feet, 1 second longitude equals 61.6 feet.

This GPS device gives coordinates which refer to a location that is more than 43 degrees north of the equator and a little over 80 degrees west of the Prime Meridian. Seconds

Grid system (latitude and longitude)

Scale

compass rose

Legend ("Key" )

Page 17: Let’s practice…

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.

What is the latitude/longitude

of Detroit?

• Latitude 1st… find the dot & run finger up to margin.

• Document the latitude in degrees w/quadrant.

• Longitude is written second. Find location dot and run it to the margin.

• Document the longitude in degrees w/quadrant.
