1. Latitude & Longitude 2. Imaginary Lines 3. Way of i.d. a specific point on earth= absolute location 4. form intersecting line = grid
1. Latitude 2. horizontal lines 3. parallels = lines NEVER cross 3. Measures distance N. & S. from the equator 4. Equator = 0° 4. N of Equator = N latitude 4. S of Equator = S latitude
1 1. Longitude 2. vertical lines (converge at the poles)crash 3. Measure distances E & W from the Prime Meridian 4. through Greenwich, England 4. Prime Meridian = 0° 4. E of Prime Meridian to 180° = E longitude 5. 180° = International Date Line 4. W 180° to Prime Meridian = W long. 3. Convergent lines 4. Meet at the poles = no distance b/t lines
