  13. Latitude 90º • Circle the globe • Parallels • Measures in degrees (º) • from the equator. • Equator is 0º Latitude 30ºN 0º 30ºS 90º

  14. North Pole 90° 1 60°N 60° 30° 0° 30° 2 60°S 60° 90°

  15. Absolute Location step 1: Find the Latitude… • Houston, TX • Paris, France • Oslo, Norway • Cairo, Egypt • Beijing , China • Brasilia, Brazil

  16. Longitude • Meridians • Extend from North to South (poles) • measures degrees E or W of the Prime Meridian – • 0º Longitude 30ºW 0º 30ºE

  17. 20°W 30°E 0° 20° 10° 40° 40° 30° 10° 20° 30°

  18. Absolute Location: Find the Longitude… • Houston, TX • Paris, France • Oslo, Norway • Cairo, Egypt • Beijing , China • Brasilia, Brazil
