  1. Location Annotated Map Activity

  2. On Your Blank Map • Label • 7 continents • 4 oceans • Create a compass rose in the upper right hand corner of your paper.

  3. Relative Location • Described by landmarks, time, direction, or distance from one place to another. • Examples: • Ms. Rains’ class is down the 6th grade hall on the left. • AMS is about a mile from Kroger on Ridge Road. • Arbor Place Mall is off I-20 in Douglasville.

  4. Absolute Location • Describes the location of a fixed point on the earth. Normally expressed using coordinates such as latitude and longitude. • Examples: • Eiffel Tower is 48.8584° N, 2.2945° E • Arbor Place Mall is 33.7279° N, 84.7440° W • The White House is 38.8977° N, 77.0365° W

  5. Absolute Location Cont. • Absolute Location is based off the Global Positioning System (GPS).

  6. Hemispheres • Half of the Earth. • The Equator creates the Northern and Southern hemispheres. • The Prime Meridian creates the Eastern and Western hemispheres.

  7. Lines of LATITUDE (parallels) • Imaginary lines on the Earth that run parallel to the equator.

  8. Lines of LONGITUDE (meridians) • Imaginary lines that run between North and South Poles

  9. Finding GPS • Latitude (North or South) always comes first. • Longitude (East or West) always comes second. • 0 degrees doesn’t have direction but you should know that it’s the equator or prime meridian. • Examples: • (35.9550°N , 83.9250° W)
