PHILIPPINE ENVIRONMEN
T
1. By determining its latitude and longitude.
2. By determining the landmasses and bodies of water
TWO WAYS TO LOCATE PLACES
Latitude--are parallel to the equator and to each other.--the distance from north or south of the equator.
Written this way: 25°N (25 degrees North), 60°S (60 degrees South)
*The starting point for latitude is the equator.
By determining its latitude and longitude
LONGITUDE--a distance east or west of the prime meridian.Written this way: 20° E (15 degrees east), 45°W ( 45 degrees west)
*The starting point for longitude is the prime meridian.
By determining its latitude and longitude
PRIME MERIDIAN--line that measured in degrees to the west or east of the line, which is at longitude 0°.
INTERNATIONAL DATE LINE--This line of longitude which at 180° E and 180° W, is a line that is on the opposite side of the world from the Prime meridian and from which a new calendar day begins.
Five lines of Latitude
1. Equator – at latitude 0°2. Tropic of Cancer – 23.5° N3. Tropic of Capricorn - 23.5° S--Tropic of Cancer and Capricorn, countries that are located these zones experience a tropical climate where the annual average temperature is above 18° C.
Five lines of Latitude
4. Arctic Circle – 66.5° N5. Antarctic Circle – 66.5° S--Countries in these circles go through four seasons-winter, spring, summer and Autumn.
Five lines of Latitude
Five lines of Latitude
The closer the latitude is to the equator, the warmer the climate. The closer it is to the poles, the colder.
Remember
The closer the latitude is to the equator, the warmer the climate. The closer it is to the poles, the colder.
Remember
Ex.15°N, 30° E – Sudan
a. Swedenb. 15°N, 90° Wc. 45°E, 23°S
By determining its latitude and longitude.
1. 15° N, 105° E2. 15° S, 30° E3. 60° N, 24° W4. 30° N, 0° W5. 30° S, 30° E
Identify the countries nearest to the following rounded latitudes and longitude
WHAT ARE THE LANDMASSES AND BODIES OF WATER THAT SURROUND THE PHILIPPINES?
