Module 1 part 1
- 3. MAP vs GLOBE a map gives a two dimensional presentation of certain regions in the world, a globe gives a three dimensional presentation of the entire world.
- 4. A globe can be called as a duplicate earth. A map is easy to use and portable whereas a globe is not MAP vs GLOBE
- 5. When talking of accuracy, a globe is more accurate than the map. MAP vs GLOBE
- 6. TWO WAYS TO DEFINE LOCATION OF A PLACE
- 7. RELATIVE LOCATION defining location of a place in relation to other places. example naming major land and water surrounding the place.
- 8. ABSOLUTE LOCATION a more accurate way of defining location describes the location by means of latitude and longitude
- 10. Latitude imaginary lines that run horizontally around the globe latitudes are parallel to each other do not meet latitudes form circles of
- 11. latitudinal lines are expressed in degrees show how far from north or south of the equator
- 12. latitudinal lines run up to 90˚N and 90˚S from the equator.
- 15. Equator zero degrees latitude (0˚ latitude) separates the Earth into two hemispheres. Northern
- 17. Longitude imaginary lines that run vertically across the globe longitudes are not parallel to each other lines meet at poles
- 18. Longitude longitudes do not form circles longitudes have equal length begins from North Pole going to South Pole
- 21. two important longitudinal lines prime meridian (0˚ longitude) antemeridian (180˚ longitude)
- 22. prime meridian designated as 0˚ longitude passes through the town of Greenwich in England
- 23. separates the Earth into 2 hemispheres Western Eastern
- 24. Antemeridian directly opposite the prime meridian designated as 180˚ longitude also known as International
- 28. how to locate?
- 29. identify the degrees in latitude identify if it is located above or below the equator above (NORTH) below (SOUTH)
- 30. 30˚ North
- 32. identify the degrees in longitude identify if it is located on the left or right side of the Prime Meridian left (WEST)
- 33. 120˚ West
- 35. combine the measurement of latitude and longitude always start with the latitude
- 36. 30˚N, 120˚W
- 42. the map contest
