  1. Latitude and Longitude

  2. Latitude lines run east/west but they measure north or south of the equator (0°) splitting the earth into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere.

  3. Lines of latitude are numbered from 0° at the equator to 90° N at the North Pole. Lines of latitude are numbered from 0° at the equator to 90° S at the South Pole. Latitude

  4. Lines of longitude are numbered east from the Prime Meridian and west from the Prime Meridian. Longitude 0° N North Pole W E West Longitude East Longitude PRIME MERIDIAN S

  5. 60° W is the 60° line of longitude west of the Prime Meridian. The Prime Meridian is located at 0°. It is neither east or west 60° E is the 60° line of longitude east of the Prime Meridian. LongitudeLines of longitude begin at the Prime Meridian. W E

  6. Western Hemisphere Places located east of the Prime Meridian have an east longitude (E) address. Places located west of the Prime Meridian have a west longitude (W) address. Prime MeridianThe Prime Meridian (0°) splits the earth into the Western Hemisphere and Eastern Hemisphere. Prime Meridian Eastern Hemisphere

  7. Any location north of the equator is a NORTH LATITUDE

  8. Any location south of the equator is a SOUTH LATITUDE

  9. Any location west of the prime meridian is a WEST LONGITUDE

  10. Any location east of the prime meridian is an EAST LONGITUDE

  11. By combining latitude and longitude, any location can be pinpointed

  12. See If You Can Tell In Which Hemispheres These Lon/Lats Are Located • 1. 41°N, 21°E • 2. 37°N, 76°W • 3. 72°S, 141°W • 4. 7°S, 23°W • 5. 15°N, 29°E • 6. 34°S, 151°E A B D C

  27. Why is that there?

  28. Battleship • Divide into 4 teams • Decide where to put your 5 ships (1 three square, 2 two squares, and 2 one square) • Guess where the other team’s ships are by using latitude and longitude) • Blow up the ships 
