SUMMATIVE TEST ( COORDINATE SYSTEM )

• Equator -

  
• Latitude -

  
• Longitude -

  
• Prime Meridian -

  
• Equator - an imaginary line, located at 0 degrees latitude, dividing the earth`s surface into two hemispheres: THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE and THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE.
• North Pole and South Pole - lines of longitude or meridians run on globe.
• To locate place imaginary lines set on a globe or map
• East - Cardinal direction is to the right of prime meridian
• Coordinates - a set of degrees of latitude and longitude that help you locate a place on map or globe
• Coordinates - if add up the sum is 180
• Coordinate system - is an arrangement of reference lines or imaginary lines on the globe or map.

  - the position or location of any places on earth`s surface can be determined and described
• Imaginary lines on the globe :

  • Latitude
  • longitude
  • Equator
  • Prime meridian
• 4 hemisphere:

  • Northern hemisphere
  • Southern hemisphere
  • Eastern hemisphere
  • Western hemisphere
• Latitude - are imaginary horizontal lines running from east to west on the Earth`s surface
• Lines of latitude are often referred to as parallels, this is because latitude is a line that runs parallel to the equator and never intersects
• Parallels get smaller towards the poles than closer to the equator
• Longitude - are imaginary vertical lines running from the north pole to the south pole
• Lines of longitude are often referred to as meridians
• Meridians - are important for setting time zones
• Prime Meridian - an imaginary line dividing the earth`s surface into two hemispheres WESTERN HEMISPHERE and EASTERN HEMISPHERE
• Longitude has 24 lines 12 for each hemisphere
• Renewable resources:

  Sunlight

  Water

  Air

  Biomass
• Non-renewable resources:

  Coal

  Oil

  Natural gas also known fossil fuels
• • Tropics -found between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.

  Countries that are located in this zone experience a tropical climate where the annual average temperature is above 18°C.
• • Northern Temperate Zone - Found between the Tropic of Cancer and the Arctic Circle
• Southern Temperate Zone Found between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Antarctic Circle
• • Polar regions or frigid zones the areas within the Arctic Circle and Antarctic Circle
• Arctic Circle (66.5° N) 24 hours of daylight
• Tropic of Cancer (23.5° N) 13.5 hours of daylight
• Equator (0) 12 hours of daylight
• Tropic of Capricorn (23.5° S) 10.5 hours of daylight
• Antarctic Circle 10655) 0 hours of calight GEEK
