Question
Latitude and Longitude Lines af latitude and longitude are part of a geographic coordinate system that is used to locate every location on the Earth. ines of longitude are vertical lines that run from the North Pole to the South Pole equidistant around the globe. Lines of latitude run horizontally outward trom the centar of the globe at its widest point, the Equator, equidistant towards each Pole. Lines of latitude and longitude are marked as degrees, Longitude lines start at 0 at the Prime Meridian and nun to 180 east and west around the globe. They are called Latitude lines begin at 0 at the Equator and run to 90' outward towards meridians, each Pole. They are called parallels NVE S/E SW Example: N 15 w 15 Directions: Using the lines of latitude and longitude, write the approximate coordinates of nach shape. Be sure to use the directional letters. On what oontinent is each shape? www.HaveFunTeaching.com
Explanation / Answer
approximate coordinates of the shapes are-
circle coordinates = 33°06'58.6"S 59°10'41.9"W
square coordinates = 68°10'51.8"S 67°23'28.6"E
triangle coordinates = 66°58'21.3"N 134°25'43.3"E
star coordinates = 77°03'31.2"N 45°02'38.9"W
