2 PANGEA Add a pangea link to here 2

3 There are 4 hemispheres Hemispheres are divided using the Equator (north and south) and Prime Meridian (west and east) 3

5 Northern Hemisphere Equator SOUTHERN OCEAN Southern Hemisphere 5

6 Western Hemisphere Eastern Hemisphere SOUTHERN OCEAN Prime Meridian 6

7 EQUATOR PRIME MERIDIAN 7

8 Can you place the prime meridian and equator? 8

9 Warm up: Complete this in your notebook. continents= red oceans= blue

10 Class Schedule 1. What is latitude 2. Plotting latitude 3. Latitude vs. climate 10

Northern Hemisphere Southern Hemisphere Lines of Latitude Measured in degrees( Starts at the equator with 0 From the top to bottom of Earth, there are 180 in all 90 are found between the equator

11 Northern Hemisphere Southern Hemisphere Lines of Latitude Measured in degrees( Starts at the equator with 0 From the top to bottom of Earth, there are 180 in all 90 are found between the equator and the North Pole, and another 90 is between the equator and south pole Known as parallels they will never touch Run in a west to east direction Get shorter at the poles equator is the longest line 11

12 Latitude run in an east to west direction measure north and south 12

13 The tropics do not experience many differences in seasons because the sun is always high in the sky. What places are in the tropics? 13

14 What hemisphere has winter in this picture? Proximity ( how close or far) to the equator effects a regions climate. Closer to the equator= hotter Farther from equator = cooler 14

15 Let's make a key! Polar = cold year round (color blue) Temperate= cool winters warm Arctic summer Circle= BLUE (color green) Tropical = hot year round (color orange) Equator (color red) 15

16 CLIMATE ZONES POLAR TEMPERATE TROPICS EQUATOR "cold year round" "cool winters, warm summers" "hot year round" 16

17 CLIMATE ZONES POLAR TEMPERATE TROPICS EQUATOR "cold year round" "cool winters, warm summers" "hot year round" 17

18 Arctic Circle 66.5 N Tropic of Cancer 23.5 N Equator Tropic of Capricorn 23.5 S Antarctic Circle 66.5 S Climate Zones Arctic/Polar Zone(Cold) Temperate Zone (Mild) Tropical Zone (HOT!) Temperate Zone (Mild) Arctic/Polar Zone(Cold) POLAR TEMPERATE TROPICS EQUATOR "cold year round" "cool winters, warm summers" "hot year round" 18

19 1... Fill out the globe H D C I K E J L B F warm-up! G A 2... use two vocabulary words from your first chart (Maps Part 1) to write in a sentence. 19

20 Western Hemisphere Eastern Hemisphere Southern Ocean Prime Meridian 20

21 Longitude Imaginary lines that go vertically around the earth from north to south (they meet at the two Poles). Also called meridians The prime meridian in Greenwich, England is 0 Going in either direction from the Prime Meridian, we mark longitude lines as increasing from 1 to 180 and are labeled W or E (west or east of the prime meridian) Longitude lines are NOT parallel so they are not always the same distance from one another 21

22 Longitude Where does the Prime Meridian go? 22

27 Which belong to LATITUDE and which belong to LONGITUDE? Get your highlighters out! 27

28 STOP Go To Grid Doc 28

29 Warm up: Take out your homework and find the absolute location of La Grange and Darwin Remember... find latitude first then longitude! 29

30 Let's Practice! 30

31 Longitude Latitude Maximum is 90 Time Zones Lines measure north and south Tropic of Cancer Maximum is 180 Lines run east and west Equator Tropic of Capricorn Lines run north and south 31

32 Warm Up: Take out your homework from last night and create the chart below. THEN do your best to sort each word under the correct area. Longitude Latitude arctic circle tropic of capricorn parallels meridians tropic of cancer climate time zones antarctic circle prime meridian international date line equator 32

37 What are different ways you can study for your summative? create a game break up material find a quiet place to study time management! quiz yourself make up funny ways to remember the information 37

38 Tuesday, September 15th Make A Hat Day Warm Up: Take out your study guide from this weekend then arrange these locations from west to east in the boxes below, based on their longitudes. 25 N, 5 E 0 N, 18 E 80 N, 125 W 7 S, 85 E 38 N, 65 E West East 38

Module 2: Mapping Topic 2 Content: Determining Latitude and Longitude Notes Introduction In order to more easily locate points on a globe or map, cartographers designed a system of imaginary vertical lines (also called parallels) and horizontal lines (also called meridians) that
