  3. How do We Measure Our Place on the Globe? Lines What are Those Lines Called? Latitude Longitude

  4. Latitude & Longitude • Latitude lines runEastand West • Longitude lines run Northand South • All lines are measured in units ofmeasurement called Degrees

  5. Latitude Lines/Parallels • Drawn East to West • Measured North and Southof the Equator N W E EQUATOR S

  6. Latitude Lines/Parallels • The Equator is known as the Starting Point/Baseline for measuring Latitude. • The Equator is and imaginary line locatedat Zero Degrees - 0° Latitude. • The Equator looks like a belt across the World. It is the halfway point between the North and South Poles. N W E EQUATOR S

  7. La Mitad del Mundo(The Middle of the World) QUITO, Ecuador

  8. Longitude/Meridians • Drawn from Northto South. • Measured from Eastand Westof the Prime Meridian. • The Prime Meridian is the Starting Point/Baseline for measuring Longitude.

  9. Longitude/Meridians • The Prime Meridian is and imaginary line locatedat Zero Degrees - 0° Longitude. It runs through the United Kingdom, France, Spain, western Africa, and Antarctica. • Longitude lines are known as the “long” lines.
