Parts of a Map

• Compass Rose A symbol that tells you where the
  cardinal- north, south, east, and west- are
  positioned

Fill out your compass rose
10
Parts of a Map

• Map Key Explains the lines, symbols, and colors
  used on a map

11
Parts of a Map

• Scale A measuring line that helps you figure out
  distance on the map

On page GH8, what is the scale on that map? -
Distance from

Measuring scale and using compass rose

• LA to Austin- I do
• LA to Seattle- We do
• Seattle to Austin- You do

Globes-Hemispheres

• To better locate a place on Earth Geographers use
  a system of imaginary lines the crisscross the
  globe. Like an X/Y graph.
• The equator, a Latitudinal line, circles the
  middle of the Earth.
• Everything North of the Equator is in the
  Northern Hemisphere.
• Everything south of the equator is in the
  Southern hemisphere.

Equator
15
Globes-Hemispheres cont.

• Another imaginary line runs from north to south.
• This line of 0 Longitude is called the Prime
  Meridian.
• Everything east of the Prime Meridian for 180
  degrees is the Eastern hemisphere.
• Everything west of the Prime Meridian for 180
  degrees is the Western hemisphere.

Prime Meridian
17
Latitude and Longitude

• Lines of latitude and longitude form a grid
  system of lines that help locate places on Earth.
• Latitudinal lines, like the equator, circle the
  Earth and measure the distance North or South.
  (Latitude is Flatitude!)
• Longitudinal lines, like the Prime Meridian,
  circle the Earth from pole to pole and measure
  how far East or West. (Longitude is Long-gitude)

18
East, West, North, South on the Earth

• The N tells us were in the northern hemisphere.
• The S tells us were in the southern hemisphere.
• The E tells us that were east of the Prime
  Meridian in the eastern hemisphere.
• The W tells us that were west of the Prime
  Meridian in the western hemisphere.

(N, W)
(N, E)
(S, W)
(S, E)
19
What is Latitude?

• Latitude is the distance from the equator
  along the Y axis.
• All points along the equator have a value of 0
  degrees latitude.
• North pole 90N
• South pole 90S
• Values are expressed in terms of degrees.

90N
Y
X
90S
20
What is Longitude?

• Longitude is the distance from the prime meridian
  along the X axis.
• All points along the prime meridian have avalue
  of 0 degrees longitude.
• The earth is divided into two parts,
  orhemispheres, of east and west longitude.

Y
X
180W
180E
21
What is Longitude?

• The earth is divided into 360 equal slices
  (meridians)
• 180 west and 180 east of the prime meridian

Y
X
180W
180E
22
So Where is (0,0)?

• The origin point (0,0) is where the equator
  intersects the prime meridian.
• (0,0) is off the western coast of Africa in the
  Atlantic Ocean.

25
Absolute location

• The grid system formed by latitude and longitude
  makes it possible to find the exact location of a
  place. Only one place can be found at one point
  where a line of latitude crosses a line of
  longitude. By using degrees and minutes (points
  between the degrees) people can pinpoint the
  precise spot the lines cross

Latitude and Longitude worksheet

• Independently or with a partner work on questions
  3-7 of your worksheet. You have already done
  questions 1

28
EXIT TICKET

• Think back to the place you chose on your bell
  ringer, based on what have learned tell me more
  about the place you chose. What hemisphere is it
  in? According to the compass rose what direction
  is it from Tennessee? What oceans and continents
  is it near?
