Review: Using a Grid 1.At the intersection of which two streets is

the Church of Santa Rosa? 2. What is the grid location of San Marcos

University? 3. If you were walking from the Church of La

Merced to Trinity Church, what avenue would you walk along?

4. What street would you take to get from the Church of San Augustin to the Church of Jesus Maria?

5. If you were telling someone the location of the building where Congress meets, what two streets would you name?

1. Conde de Superunda & Tacna Ave

2. D 4

3. Cusco Avenue

4. Camana Street

5. Ayachucho Street & Huallaga Street

Parallels vs MeridiansParallels

show us the LATITUDE of a location

Merdians show us the LONGITUDE of a location

What are parallels?

Parallels are lines that run across the globe horizontally and never meet up with each other. We use parallels to measure latitude. The Equator is O degrees latitude.

The World- Important ParallelsOn “The World I” map, complete the

following: 1. Trace the Equator (0º) in RED. 2. Trace the Tropic of Cancer (23 1/2º N) and the

Tropic of Capricorn (23 1/2º S) in ORANGE 3. Trace the Arctic Circle (66 1/2º N) and the

Antarctic Circle (66 1/2ºS) in PURPLE Trace the North Pole (90ºN) and the South Pole

(90ºS) in BLUE

What are meridians?

Meridians are lines that run from the north pole to the south pole. We measure longitude by using meridians. The Prime Meridian is O degrees longitude.

The World- Important MeridiansOn “The World II” map, complete the

following: 1. Trace the Prime Meridian (0º) in RED. 2. Trace the International Date Line (180º) in

GREEN. Be sure to trace it on both sides of your map.

LATITUDE vs LONGITUDE LATITUDE measures

distance NORTH and SOUTH of the EQUATOR.

Longitude measures distance EAST and WEST of the Prime Meridian

Citing Latitude & Longitude

Latitude ALWAYS comes before Longitude (Latitude comes first alphabetically too!)

Example: Cairo, Egypt is found at 30°N Latitude, 30°E Longitude

(It is 30°N of the Equator and 30°E of the Prime Meridian)

Finding Latitude1)Use the Parallels to find Latitude.

2)Trace a horizontal line from the target city to the right or left of the map. 3)Identify the parallel lines closest to your city and estimate its LATITUDE. 4)Decide if it lies North or South of the Equator.

Finding LONGITUDE

1)Use the MERIDIANS to find LONGITUDE.

2)Trace a vertical line from the target city to the top or bottom of the map.

3)Identify the meridians closest to your city and estimate its LONGITUDE. 4)Decide if it lies EAST or WEST of the Prime Meridian.
