• Latitude measures the distance north or south of the Equator
• Divides the Earth into NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE
• The EQUATOR is located at zerodegree latitude.
• Longitude measures the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian.
• Divides the Earth into EASTERN AND WESTERN HEMISPHERE
• The Prime Meridian is located at zero-degree longitude passing through Greenwich, England.
• THE EQUATOR

  • Equidistant from the geographic poles
  • Perpendicular to the Earth's axis.
• • As we move away from

  the equator, the average

  temperature decreases

  • As we move away from the equator, the average temperature decreases
• LOWER LATITUDE = WARMER CLIMATE

  HIGHER LATITUDE = COLDER CLIMATE

  There is a relationship between the latitude of a place and the climate it experiences.
• The degree increases as it moves westward or eastward until it reaches the longitude opposite to the prime meridian, the antemeridian (read as 180 º longitudes)
• INTERNATIONAL DATE LINE The line where the date changes as one travels east or west across it.
