Political MapsGenerally
show political or human

Legend or Map KeyExplains the
lines symbols

map
Scale ndash often called scale barA measuring line helps determine the distance on a map
Latitude and Longitude
Helps to locate absolute location (7)An exact point on Earth (described by global coordinates)
- Reading and plotting points of latitude and longitude is similar to plotting and reading points on a coordinate plane
In order to understand latitude lines you must first
learn about the equator
Equator (3)Circles the Earth at itrsquos mid section (like a belt)
Measures Zero degrees ( 0⁰ ) Cuts the Earth into northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere
The Equator
The Northern Hemisphere
and Southern
Hemisphere
Latitude Lines (1)Run east to west (or left to right)
Measure in degrees north and south of the Equator
Latitude lines measure in degrees from the Equator
Starting at the equator travel ldquouprdquo degrees increase and are north (N)
Starting at the equator travel ldquodownrdquo the degrees increase and are south (S)Latitude lines are
also called parallels
(6)
To understand Longitude lines you must learn
about the Prime Meridian
Prime Meridian (4)Measures 0⁰ degrees
Runs north to south (or up and down) from the poles and runs through Greenwich England
Cuts the globe into western hemisphere and eastern hemisphere
Longitude lines measure east and west of the Prime Meridian (2)
Longitude lines Are
also called meridians
(5)
Lines of Longitude (Meridians)bullStarting at the Prime Meridian Travel to the left
the number of degrees increase and are WESTbullStarting at the Prime Meridian
Travel to the right the number of
degrees increase and are EAST
By using latitude and longitude lines we can
find Absolute Location
Which is the exact place somewhere is on the earth
Absolute Location means finding the intersection of the latitude
and longitude lines
Letrsquos find Purcellville
Measure latitude lines first - 39deg NMeasure longitude lines second - 77deg W
Together it is written 39degN latitude 77degW longitude
How accurate was II said it was
39degN latitude 77degW longitudeThe exact coordinate is
39deg 8 12 N 77deg 42 53 W rsquo = minutes (115 miles) rdquo = seconds (approx 100 ft)

In order to understand latitude lines you must first
learn about the equator
Equator (3)Circles the Earth at itrsquos mid section (like a belt)
Measures Zero degrees ( 0⁰ ) Cuts the Earth into northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere
The Equator
The Northern Hemisphere
and Southern
Hemisphere
Latitude Lines (1)Run east to west (or left to right)
Measure in degrees north and south of the Equator
Latitude lines measure in degrees from the Equator
Starting at the equator travel ldquouprdquo degrees increase and are north (N)
Starting at the equator travel ldquodownrdquo the degrees increase and are south (S)Latitude lines are
also called parallels
(6)
To understand Longitude lines you must learn
about the Prime Meridian
Prime Meridian (4)Measures 0⁰ degrees
Runs north to south (or up and down) from the poles and runs through Greenwich England
Cuts the globe into western hemisphere and eastern hemisphere
Longitude lines measure east and west of the Prime Meridian (2)
Longitude lines Are
also called meridians

Lines of Longitude (Meridians)bullStarting at the Prime Meridian Travel to the left
the number of degrees increase and are WESTbullStarting at the Prime Meridian
Travel to the right the number of

By using latitude and longitude lines we can
find Absolute Location
Which is the exact place somewhere is on the earth
Absolute Location means finding the intersection of the latitude
