Today we have discussed the importance of using longitude and latitude to find the absolute location of different geographic features. Here is a United States map that contains lines of longitude and latitude. Practice finding the coordinates of different locations on the map such as countries, states, and bodies of water.
Look at the map above to answer the following questions.
What is longitude?
What is latitude?
What state is located at 45 degrees N and 70 degrees E?
What is the longitude and latitude coordinates of Texas?
Longitude is lines go up and down
ReplyDeleteLines that are never stick together
ReplyDeleteLongitude is going up and down and latitude is going across.
ReplyDeleteLongitude is when the lines on a map go up and down
ReplyDeleteLatitude is when the lines on a map go sideways
And they both intersect
45n and 70e = Maine
Longitude goes up and down and latitude is left and right
ReplyDeleteLongitude is up and down and latitude is side to side 1 Maine 2 100 north 30 east
ReplyDeleteLongitude is the lines up and down.
ReplyDeleteLatitude is the lines across.
The location of 45 degrees north and 70 degrees east Maine
The coordinates of Texas is 30 degrees and 100 degrees
