  10. Longitude • Longitude lines run north and south-vertically. • Longitude lines come second! • (Top to bottom)

  11. Lines • The lines measure distances in degrees. Longitude Latitude

  12. Where is 0 degree? • The equator is 0 degree latitude. • It is an imaginary belt that runs halfway point between the North Pole and the South Pole. Equator

  14. It’s Tropical! • Special lines of latitude are 23.5 degrees away from the equator.

  15. The Tropics • Tropic of Cancer is north of the equator • Tropic of Capricorn is south.

  16. The area between these two lines is known as the “Tropics” • There are no seasons in this region because of the sun’s position in the sky

  17. Time Zones • The Earth is divided into 24 time zones, corresponding to 24 hours in a day. • As the earth rotates, the sun shines in different areas, moving from east to west during the course of a day. • Places that have the same longitude will be in the same time zone.

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

  19. Compass • A compass is a tool that helps the user know what direction one is headed. • On a map, a compass or a compass rose helps the user locate these directions.

  20. 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.
