What are we going to do?
Discussing paragraph 1.4
The atlas and the graticule!

Do the assignments
Learning goals: 

– You can describe the location of a place on Earth by means of coordinates and the graticule.
– You know the difference between absolute and relative location.

Miami 188-189 J6
Rome 118-119 D4
Minsk 108-109 I3 J3
Seoul 158-159 L4

Slide 4 - Slide

The graticule
This is a very accurate way of pinpointing a exact location of a place. 

But how does it work? 

Slide 5 - Slide

Paralells
We have the equator at 0 degrees latitude. The equator divides the earth in the Northern and Southern hemisphere. 

Slide 6 - Slide

Paralells
At the North and South pole we've reached the maximum amount of degrees, that is 90. 

Keep in mind that the degrees aren't the temperature, but the distance from the equator (111km).

Slide 7 - Slide

Slide 8 - Video

Meridians
Meridians of longitude run from the North pole to the South pole and run in a 360 degree circle. 
These meridians of longitude tell us wether we are on the western part of the world or the eastern part. 

Slide 9 - Slide

Prime meridian
This prime meridian runs through Greenwich and splits the Earth in the Western and Eastern hemispheres. 
The longitude lines go from 1 degrees west longitude until 180 degrees (exactly half of the earth)

Slide 10 - Slide

The graticule
While using the latitude and longitude lines we can pinpoint the precise location of a certain place on the Earth. 

Slide 11 - Slide

Slide 12 - Slide

Get to work!
Read paragraph 1.4 carefully and write down the words you do not understand. 

Do the exercises 1 to 3 either online with the online Humboldt version or in your notebook. 

Slide 13 - Slide

What are we going to do?
Using the atlas and the graticule!

Timezones & absolute, relative distances.
