This document discusses latitude and longitude lines on globes and how they are used to determine locations on Earth. Latitude lines are parallel and equally spaced, while longitude lines converge at the poles and meet latitude lines at right angles. Globes maintain the same shape as Earth with accurate relative distances and sizes of continents and oceans, allowing them to depict direction and specific locations through the grid-like system of latitude and longitude lines.
4 latitude and longitude
- 1. Class 4 Latitude, Longitude, Special latitudes & Zones Properties of Globes
- 2. How do we determine specific locations on Earth?
- 5. Figure 1.11
- 6. Figure 1.12
- 10. How is it like and unlike Earth? Look at lattitude and longitude lines: Are they all the same length? Are they spaced equidistant apart? Do they meet? At what angles do they meet?
- 11. Latitude lines are parallel Latitude lines are equally spaced Latitude and longitude lines meet at right angles Longitude lines meet at poles Same shape as earth Shapes (continents and oceans) are maintained Relative distances and sizes are maintained Can be used to show direction
