Station Alpha SS.6.G.1.1

Use latitude and longitude coordinates to

understand the relationship between people

and places on the Earth

Know the Lingo…

LATITUDE

LONGITUDE

LATITUDE The most famous line of

Latitude is the Equator

Lines of Latitude run

parallel to the Equator.

Indicates North or South.

Separate the globe into the Northern

Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere

LONGITUDE The most famous line of

Longitude is the Prime Meridian

Lines of Longitude run from the

North Pole to the South Pole.

Indicates East to West. Also

known as Meridians.

Separate the globe into the Eastern

Hemisphere and Western Hemisphere

When lines of Latitude and lines of Longitude

are laid out across a map they form a grid. This

is used to find specific locations.

SURPLUS INFORMATION • Tropic of Cancer: The northernmost circle of latitude

on the Earth at which the Sun can be directly

overhead.

• Tropic of Capricorn: The southernmost circle of

latitude on the Earth at which the Sun can be directly

overhead.

• Arctic Circle: the most northern of the five major

circles of latitude that mark maps of the Earth.

• Antarctic Circle: the most southern of the five major

circles of latitude that mark maps of the Earth.

Know the Lingo… HEMISPHERE

ABSOLUTE LOCATION

RELATIVE LOCATION

Hemisphere: half of the terrestrial globe or

celestial sphere, especially one of the halves

into which the earth is divided.

Math Connection

Absolute location describes

the location of a place based

on a fixed point, where a line

of latitude and a line of

longitude intersect, on earth.

Need to Know:

Latitude is always written first and latitude and

longitude are composed of degrees, minutes, and

seconds

Arctic!” • Relative location refers to the position of a place or

entity based on its position with respect to other

locations.

• Relative location can be expressed in terms of

distance, travel time, or cost.

KNOWLEDGE CHECK! 1. Mount Kenya is closest to which

intersection of latitude and longitude?

________________________________

2. Describe relative location of Russia to

Hiroshima.

________________________________

3. St. Petersburgh is closest to which

intersection of longitude and latitude and

longitude?

4. Which mountain chain is closest to the

intersection of 30*N, 90*E?

5. What line of longitude runs through

Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay?

Station Charlie SS.6.G.1.5 Use scale, cardinal, and intermediate

directions, and estimation of distances

between places on current and ancient maps

of the world.

Know the Lingo… Compass Rose

Scale

Cardinal Directions

Intermediate Directions

Map Legend

Compass Rose: sometimes called a “wind rose,

or Rose of the Winds,” used to display the

orientation of the cardinal

directions and intermediate

directions

Cardinal Directions: North,

South, East and West

(N,S,E,W)

Intermediate Directions:

North-West, North-East, South-West and South-

East (NW, NE, SW, SE)

Map Scale refers to the relationship (or

ratio) between distance on a map and the

corresponding distance on the ground.

A map legend is a table or chart included on a

map to indicate the meaning of the map's

varied symbols. This can be also be called the

map's key.

KNOWLEDGE CHECK!

Draw a map of the class. It must include a scale,

compass rose and a legend.

Analyze the purposes of map projections

(political, physical, special purpose) and

explain the applications of various types of

maps.

Physical Map

Political Map

Special Purpose

Map

Physical Map

• A physical map focuses

on the geography of the

area and will often have

shaded relief to show the

mountains and valleys.

Rivers, mountains and lake

features are usually labeled.

Political Map

Political maps are

designed to show

governmental boundaries

of countries, states, and

counties, the location of

major cities, and they

usually include significant

bodies of water.

Special Purpose Map

Special purpose

maps are used to help

you focus on certain

details. Like

Topography, Climate or

population. A special

purpose map is also

known as a Thematic

Map
