LATITUDE

Imaginary lines running East/West

Measure North/South of the Equator (0o)

Splits Earth into Northern/Southern hemisphere

Called parallels

North Pole = 90o N

South Pole = 90o S

Parallels are spaced 111km apart

LONGITUDE

Imaginary lines running North/South

Measure East/West of the Prime Meridian (0o)• Prime Meridian = Greenwich, England

Splits Earth into Eastern/Western hemisphere

Called meridians

Numbered 180o both East and West from Prime

Meridian (0o)• 180o = International Date Line

PRIME MERIDIANThe Prime Meridian (0o) and the International Date

Line (180o) split the Earth into the Eastern and

Western hemisphere

Places located East of the Prime Meridian have an Eastern

(E) longitude; places located West of the Prime Meridian

have a Western (W) longitude.

By combining latitude and longitude, any location

can be pinpointed.

APPLICATION

North America is in the Northern Hemisphere because it

is North of the Equator. North America is in the Western

Hemisphere because it is West of the Prime Meridian.
