Latitude:• Latitude lines are imaginary lines on the earth's
surface. They run east and west around the globe and tell you your distance north or south of the Equator.
• Think of latitude like the rungs of a ladder (ladder sounds a lot like latitude).

Latitude & Longitude:
• The coordinates for Latitude are given for north or south & always listed first: (28°N, 13°W).
• The coordinates for Longitude are given for east or west & always listed second: (28°N, 13°W).
• Both are given in degrees represented by a ° symbol.
• One degree can further be divided into 60 minutes, represented by ‘. (49°30’N = 49.5°)
• One minute can be further divided into 60 seconds, represented by “. (49°40’23”S)

Scale:
• Scale is how “zoomed in” a map is.• Scale allows
you to find out distances.• We use metric
in Canada.

Using Your Atlas:• Table of Contents: Pages 2 & 3.• This shows you where to find the maps you
need.• Latitude, Longitude, & Scale: Page 6.• How to use the “Gazetteer”: Pages 184 – 223.• This feature allows you to find cities in the
atlas.
