The middle of the country has extreme seasons with less rain in the west. The southwest is hotter and more arid (dryer) than other regions. regentsprep.org/.../physicalgeography.cfm

The Target
Latitude and longitude help
identify absolute location.
![Page 26: The Target Standard 1 Maps help us get to know Delaware](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e605503460f94b5b1b1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Did You Know?• Early geographers
discovered a way to identify any exact place on the earth called absolute location. They started with imaginary lines of latitude. Latitude lines go east to west around the globe. plantwatch.sunsite.ualberta.ca/determineloc.php
![Page 27: The Target Standard 1 Maps help us get to know Delaware](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e605503460f94b5b1b1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Did You Know?
• Measuring latitude is like measuring how far up and down a ladder you climb. Any steps north of the equator measure north latitude and steps south of the equator measure south latitude.
![Page 28: The Target Standard 1 Maps help us get to know Delaware](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e605503460f94b5b1b1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Did You Know?
• Longitude lines go north and south, from North Pole to South Pole. www.lakelandsd.com/tutorial/lesson3.html
![Page 29: The Target Standard 1 Maps help us get to know Delaware](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e605503460f94b5b1b1/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Did You Know?• Measuring longitude is like moving on a football
field. The 50 yard line on the globe is called the Prime Meridian. It is 0 degrees. Moving to the left measures west longitude. Moving to the right measures east longitude. www.gtcocalcomp.com/erc/interwritebackgrounds...
![Page 30: The Target Standard 1 Maps help us get to know Delaware](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e605503460f94b5b1b1/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Did You Know?
• Imagine laying the latitude lines over the longitude lines on the map or globe. What is left is a grid. Geographers use the grid to locate an exact place on the earth. www.lakelandsd.com/tutorial/lesson3.html
![Page 31: The Target Standard 1 Maps help us get to know Delaware](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e605503460f94b5b1b1/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Did You Know
• To find your absolute location (exact) you must measure both the north and south latitude and the east and west longitude. www.lakelandsd.com/tutorial/lesson3.html

Think About It
• How would you find the absolute location of Dover, Delaware? Is it north or south of the equator. Is it east or west of the Prime Meridian?
![Page 33: The Target Standard 1 Maps help us get to know Delaware](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e605503460f94b5b1b1/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Think About It
• How are relative location and absolute location connected? When would it be best to use relative location? When would it be best to use absolute location?
?

The Target
Human Settlements
Are Connected.
![Page 35: The Target Standard 1 Maps help us get to know Delaware](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e605503460f94b5b1b1/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Did You Know?
• Long ago people had to walk or ride horses. Travel took a long time. Today jets fly us all over quickly and efficiently. What route would a plane take from Philadelphia to Los Angeles? to Chicago? Which route takes longer?
![Page 36: The Target Standard 1 Maps help us get to know Delaware](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e605503460f94b5b1b1/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Did You Know?
• Settlements are connected by trains and trucks, too. Bananas that come into the Port of Delaware (Wilmington) are trucked all over the east coast. Trains carry new cars from the factory across the nation.
![Page 37: The Target Standard 1 Maps help us get to know Delaware](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e605503460f94b5b1b1/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Did You Know?• Today settlements that are far from each
other are still connected. You might call your grandmother in Colorado and talk about the weather in both places. You also might check the internet for information about Disney World before you take your vacation. Long distances don’t seem as far away. Now they are only a click away!
![Page 38: The Target Standard 1 Maps help us get to know Delaware](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e605503460f94b5b1b1/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Did You Know?
• We can see Delaware on a map by itself but we can also locate it on a map of the Eastern United States and even on a map of the whole United States.
![Page 41: The Target Standard 1 Maps help us get to know Delaware](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e605503460f94b5b1b1/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Did You Know?
• The more we see beyond our own little state, the more we are connected to bigger settlements. We might enjoy eating crabs from the Chesapeake Bay. Lots of people root for the Baltimore Ravens and the Philadelphia Phillies. Even the environment is connected. Wastes that might be dumped in the Delaware River in Trenton will affect a trip to the beach!
![Page 42: The Target Standard 1 Maps help us get to know Delaware](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e605503460f94b5b1b1/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Think About It
• What are ways people in local Delaware might be connected to people or ideas from big cities such as Washington, DC? to New York City? Explain.
