2. LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE USING YOUR WORLD MAP . . . A ship is
sinking at 15 N 30 W. In which ocean is it located? What is the
nearest land? Which would you be more likely to find at 10N 170E, a
tropical island or an iceberg? Where is this? If you visit a friend
at 70N 90E, will you need swimmers or a warm jacket? Where would
you be? If you found yourself at 20N 10E, would you be more likely
to be building a sandcastle or an igloo? Which country would you be
in? If you were a nature photographer at 20S 45E, would you be more
likely to be photographing lemurs or kangaroos? Where would you be?
If you were travelling in the area around 20S 60W, would you be
better off on a horse or in a boat? Where are you?

4. YOUR ROAD TRIP Now you need to find the coordinates for all
five road trip destinations Use these to mark them carefully on
your new map with lines of latitude and longitude Draw in your

destinations (as the crow flies) using their coordinates - you need
to work out how to do this
