Mathmatical Location

• Meridian- line drawn between the North and South Poles • Parallel- is a circle drawn around the globe to the equator • Longitude- also known as meridian. The location of each

meridian is identified on the earths surface according to a numbering system ( remember LONGitude) • Prime meridian = 0• Latitude= The numbering system to indicate the location

of a parallel. (remember LADDERtude, because it goes up like a ladder) • Times zones- are normally identified in 15 degrees.
