Maps, Map Components, and Latitude and LongitudeMr. Reed

Page 2: Mr. Reed.  What is a hemisphere?  What is the line of latitude that divides the earth in half (north and south)?  What is the line of longitude that

Quick Review

What is a hemisphere? What is the line of latitude that

divides the earth in half (north and south)?

What is the line of longitude that divides the earth in half (east and west)?

What hemispheres is the United States located in?

Page 3: Mr. Reed.  What is a hemisphere?  What is the line of latitude that divides the earth in half (north and south)?  What is the line of longitude that

Quick Review

Hemisphere: Half of the Earth Line that divides north and south:

Equator Line that divides east and west:

Prime Meridian Hemispheres of United States: North

and West

Quick Review

Page 5: Mr. Reed.  What is a hemisphere?  What is the line of latitude that divides the earth in half (north and south)?  What is the line of longitude that

Latitude

Line of Latitude measure the distance (in degrees) north and south of the equator

The equator is 0 degrees They run east and west Think “ladder” for latitude

Latitude

Page 7: Mr. Reed.  What is a hemisphere?  What is the line of latitude that divides the earth in half (north and south)?  What is the line of longitude that

Equator

Page 8: Mr. Reed.  What is a hemisphere?  What is the line of latitude that divides the earth in half (north and south)?  What is the line of longitude that

Longitude

Lines of longitude measure the distance (in degrees) east and west of the prime meridian

Prime meridian is 0 degrees International dateline is 180 degrees

What is the international dateline? They run north and south

Page 9: Mr. Reed.  What is a hemisphere?  What is the line of latitude that divides the earth in half (north and south)?  What is the line of longitude that

Longitude

Page 10: Mr. Reed.  What is a hemisphere?  What is the line of latitude that divides the earth in half (north and south)?  What is the line of longitude that

Prime Meridian

Page 11: Mr. Reed.  What is a hemisphere?  What is the line of latitude that divides the earth in half (north and south)?  What is the line of longitude that

International Dateline

Page 12: Mr. Reed.  What is a hemisphere?  What is the line of latitude that divides the earth in half (north and south)?  What is the line of longitude that

Latitude and Longitude

What does the combination of both coordinates give you? Answer: Absolute location Example: Kansas City is 39 degrees N,

98 degrees W Practice: Approximate the

coordinates of Denver, CO using the map on the screen Do the same with Springfield, IL

Map of USA

Maps and Globes

Globe: 3D representation of the earth Pros: see the earth as it really is Cons: only see half at a time

Map: 2D representation of the earth Pros: See the whole world Cons: Can be distorted depending on

type of map A cartographer is someone who

makes maps

Political Maps

Representation of a countries boundaries, territories, cities, capitals, etc.

Shows features that were created by humans

May include roads/train lines, etc. Uses:

Mapping trips Examining regions Analyzing human characteristics

Political Maps

Page 17: Mr. Reed.  What is a hemisphere?  What is the line of latitude that divides the earth in half (north and south)?  What is the line of longitude that

Physical Maps

Representation of the earths physical/natural features, such as elevation, landforms, bodies of water, etc.

Uses: Analyzing geographic features Hiking

Physical Maps

Page 19: Mr. Reed.  What is a hemisphere?  What is the line of latitude that divides the earth in half (north and south)?  What is the line of longitude that

Thematic

Focuses on one type of information

Can go beyond physical geography

Uses: Show a very

specific type of information

Map Components

There are some components most maps will share

They are: Title Compass rose Legend/key Scale Latitude/Longitude

Page 21: Mr. Reed.  What is a hemisphere?  What is the line of latitude that divides the earth in half (north and south)?  What is the line of longitude that

Title – purpose of map

Page 22: Mr. Reed.  What is a hemisphere?  What is the line of latitude that divides the earth in half (north and south)?  What is the line of longitude that

Legend/key – tells us what things on the map mean

Page 23: Mr. Reed.  What is a hemisphere?  What is the line of latitude that divides the earth in half (north and south)?  What is the line of longitude that

Scale – shows us distance

Page 24: Mr. Reed.  What is a hemisphere?  What is the line of latitude that divides the earth in half (north and south)?  What is the line of longitude that

Latitude/longitude – gives us coordinates for locations

Page 25: Mr. Reed.  What is a hemisphere?  What is the line of latitude that divides the earth in half (north and south)?  What is the line of longitude that

Compass rose – shows directions
