Locate places on a map given the coordinates of
longitude and latitude

Identify coordinates of longitude and latitude
when given a location.
The equator is a line of latitude. Lines of latitude form east-west circles
around the globe. They are also called
parallels.
Lines of longitude run north-south. The Prime Meridian passes through Greenwich,
England. Other lines of longitude measure the distance in degrees east or west
of the prime meridian.
Universal time – the time as measured on the prime meridian
International Date Line – the imaginary line of longitude on
the opposite side of Earth from the prime meridian. The line on Earth’s surface that is
internationally agreed upon as the place where each new calendar day begins.
Time zones - the 24 divisions off Earth’s surface that are
used to determine the local time
Sir Sandford Fleming introduced a system of times zones in 1879 to eliminate confusion of
every community adopting its own local time.
Cartography is map making. Early map making was lined to
astronomy. Navigators used instruments
such as the sextant to determine their location. A sextant was used to find latitude by
measuring the angle between the horizon and a star, a planet or the moon.
The sextant is still used today because it does not depend
upon electricity or machinery such as satellites. A marine chronometer is essential to
calculating longitude.
