  4. Lines of Latitude, Longitude, & Hemispheres Geography is filled with imaginary lines….

  5. Imaginary Lines • Geographers divide the Earth into lines of latitude and longitude

  6. Latitude • Lines of Latitude run from east to west • Also called Parallels b/c they will never intersect (touch) Latitude

  7. The Equator • The Equator is 0 degree latitude • Is located halfway between the North and South Poles • Divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres Equator

  8. Measurement of Latitude • Lines of latitude are always measured in degrees north or south of the Equator • For example: 15° N

  9. Longitude • Lines run from north to south • Also referred to as Meridians • The lines meet at the North and South Poles Longitude

  10. The Prime Meridian • The Prime Meridian measures at 0 degrees longitude • Divides the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres Prime Meridian

  11. Measurement of Longitude • Lines of longitude are always measured in degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian • For example: 15° W

  12. Check for Understanding • Use the maps on your desk to complete the following tasks…. • List 3 countries that the Equator runs through • List 3 countries that the Prime Meridian runs through • List a U.S. city that is close to 30° N • List a U.S. city that is close to 90° W

  13. Check for Understanding • Use the maps on your desk to complete the following tasks…. 5. What two hemispheres in the US located in? 6. Name two continents located entirely in the Northern Hemisphere: 7. Name one continent located entirely in the Southern Hemisphere.

  14. Absolute Location Practice Open your book to page 672 and give the latitude and longitude of the following cities:

  15. Madrid, Spain Lisbon, Portugal Manchester, England Oslo, Norway Tampere, Finland Vatican City in Italy Moscow, Russia Kiev, Ukraine
