Mapping

Front 1

Latitude lines

Back 1

- imaginary Lines running horizontal around globe.

-parallels, latitude line

-each degree is 69miles

-0 degree is the equated with 90 degrees north and south.

Front 2

Longitude lines

Back 2

Imaginary line is a Meridian running vertical around the globe.

The prime meridian is at 0°.

The degree of longitude runs 180° east and 180° west from the meridian.

Geographic Coordinates

Back 3

Combining longitude and latitude measurements locate earths determined.

Units of measurement for geographic coordinates are degrees minutes and seconds.

The earth has 360° it is divided in 60 minutes

Front 4

Hemisphere

Back 4

Northern and southern hemisphere divided by equator zero latitude.

Eastern and western hemisphere divided by pride meridian 0° longitude the international dateline 180°

Front 5

Equator

Back 5

0° latitude.

Sun is directly overhead at noon. Equator divides the northern and western hemisphere. Western circumference 24,901 miles

Front 6

Prime meridian

Back 6

0° latitude. Greenwich observatory is located at the prime meridian. The time at 0° is called universal time. The 24 times zones extend east to west around the globe. International date line when at noon the primer meridian is at midnight.

Front 7

International date line

Back 7

Located at 180° longitude.regions to east of the international dateline are counted as one calendar to be earlier in the reaches to the west.although international dateline generally follows 180° it runs through several countries dividing those countries are not simple to different time zones but into two different calendar days.

Tropic of Cancer a line of latitude located 23.3°. The sun is directly overhead Tropic of Cancer on summer in the northern hemisphere June 20-21

The line of latitude located 23.3 so strung is directly overhead tropic of the summer southern hemisphere December 20-21

A line of latitude located at 66.3° north declined the northern frigid zone of the earth

Globe

Back 12

The most accurate map of the earth duplicating it's spherical shape and relative size

Front 13

Time zones

Back 13

The earth completes one rotation every 24 hours. Each rotation makes a circle which is 360°. 360° divided by 24 equals 15° per hour. You add one hour for each 50° going east. You subtract one hour for each 50° west.when you reach the international dateline the east is 12 hours ahead the west is 12 hours behind so there is a difference of 24 hours or one day.

Scale

Back 14

Scale on a map allows a mapmaker to put a great deal of information such as small into actual area size. The scale on a map that a small distance on a map represents a much larger distance on the surface.

Front 15

Statement scale

Back 15

The statement scale is the type that is listed as a statement. To find a distance on the ground you measure the distance between two points on the map in centimeters. Then calculate the actual distance in kilometers. Might show that 1 cm on the map covers 50 km on earth.

Statement scale

Back 16

The statement scale is the type that is listed as a statement. To find a distance on the ground you measure the distance between two points on the map in centimeters. Then calculate the actual distance in kilometers. Might show that 1 cm on the map covers 50 km on earth.

Line scale

Back 17

Alliant scale is written so that with the ruler you can measure the distance between two space quite easily. You can use a piece of paper to determine the distance.

Front 18

Grid system

Back 18

Located cities and towns on a map. The line running east to west are called latitude. The line running north to south or called longitude. Latitude plus longitude equal coordinates. Latitude written first and the longitude last.

Front 19

How to find the coordinate

Back 19

Starting point equator 0° latitude. Follow north or south. Determine the degree and hemisphere and write it down.step to finding a longitude. Prime radian zero longitude. Follow east or west. Determine the degree and have a sphere and write it down.

Front 20

Scale

Back 20

The scale on a map allows the map maker to put a great deal of information on a sheet of paper that is much smaller than the actual area being looked on at about. The scale on a map means that a small distance on the map represents a much larger distance on the earth surface.

Front 21

Statement scale

Back 21

The statement scale is a type that is listed as a statement. To find the distance on the ground you measure the distance between two points on the map in centimeters calculate the actual distance in kilometers. That Miche oh that 1 cm equals 50 cooperators. This means that every centimeter on the map covers 50 Kalab letters on the earths surface

Line scale

Back 22

The line scale is written so that with a ruler you could measure the distance between two places quite easily. You can use a piece of paper to determine the distance.

Front 23

Representative fraction ( RF Scale)

Back 23

The representative fraction uses the same units for both map and or surface. Converting our Avenue scale is 1 km equals 100,000 cm. Move decibel five places to the left.
