This document discusses latitudes and longitudes on a globe. It defines key terms like equator, poles, prime meridian, and describes features of the globe. The learning objectives are to define latitude and longitude, differentiate between maps and globes, and locate the equator, north pole and south pole on a globe. Activities include identifying countries in each hemisphere on a globe, comparing maps and globes, and marking the equator, poles and degrees on a globe.

1. THE GLOBE
LATITUDES AND
LONGITUDES

2. PRE TEST
1. What is the true shape of the earth?
2. What is a globe?
3. The 0° Meridian is also known as___________ _____.
4. What do you mean by latitudes and longitudes?
5. How many hemisphere does our earth has?

3. LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Todefinelatitudeandlongitude
To differentiatebetween map andGlobe.
To locate and identify the degrees of Equator, North Pole, and South
Pole on the globe.

4. KEY TERMS
• Axis
• Equator
• Greenwich Meantime
• Latitude
• Local time
• Longitude
• Poles
• Prime Meridian
• Standard Time

5. OUR EARTH
• GLOBE IS THE REPRESENTATION OF THE EARTH. IT IS SMALLER MODEL OF OUR EARTH.
• WHAT ALL THINGS CAN YOU LOCATE ON A GLOBE?

6. The Earth rotates or
spins on its own
axis. It is inclined to
an angle of 23 ½.
The pole pointing
towards the pole
star is called north
pole.
Opposite side –
south pole

7. NORTH OF EQUATOR -
NORTH HEMISPHERE.
BELOW THE EQUATOR –
SOUTH HEMISPHERE.
NAME THE IMAGINARY LINE
THAT DIVIDES THE EARTH
INTO NORTH AND SOUTH.

8. LETS KNOW ABOUT THE PARTS OF
GLOBE

9. ACTIVITY
• Task 1 Group Discussion: : Draw a globe Identify and mark the
countries of Northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere
in a globe. Difference between Map and Globe
• Task2: Draw a T- Chart and differentiate between Map and
Globe.
• Task3: Draw a globe and mark Equator, North Pole, and
South Pole with degree

11. LOCATE CONTINENTS IN NORTH AND SOUTH
HEMISPHERE

13. LEARNING OBJECTIVES
•To list out features of latitude and longitude.
•To differentiate between latitude and longitude

14. PRE TEST
• MERIDIANS AND LONGITUDE ARE IMAGINARY LINES THAT RUNS FROM _______________
TO ________________
• DIVIDES THE EARTH INTO WESTERN & EASTERN HEMISPHERE.

15. • The Globe has two types of circles.
• 1. Parallels – the lines that run from West to East. It is
parallel to Equator. Parallels or latitudes.
• 2. Meridians - the lines that run from North to South –
Meridians or longitudes.

16. LET US OBSERVE A VIDEO

17. 180 MERIDIANS ON EAST AND 180 MERIDIANS ON WEST – 360 TOTAL. AT
EQUATOR – THE DISTANCE BETWEEN 2 MERIDIANS IS GREATEST , AT
POLES IT DECREASES.

18. HIGH AND LOW LATITUDES
• Low latitudes are those locations
found between the Equator (0 degrees
N/S) and 30 degrees N/S. The middle
latitudes are found between 30
degrees N/S and 60 degrees N/S. And
the high latitudes are found between
60 degrees N/S and the poles (90
degrees N/S).

19. PLACES NEAR THE EQUATOR HAS LOW
LATITUDES. PLACES NEAR THE POLES WILL
HAVE HIGH LATITUDES.

20. FEATURES OF PARALLELS:
1. EQUATOR IS THE LONGEST
PARALLEL.
2. THE LENGTH OF PARALLELS
START TO DECREASE AS WE MOVE
TOWARDS THE POLES.
3. DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO
PARALLELS ARE 111 KM.
4. THEY DO NOT MEET EACH
OTHER.

21. ACTIVITY
• Task 1 Places near the equator has low latitudes. Places near the poles will have high
latitudes. Give reason.
• Task 2: What is the difference between high and low latitudes?
• Task 3:
A) Equator is at the 0 degree. All parallels to the north of equator is known as North Latitudes.
All parallels to the South of equator is known as _______________ Latitudes.
B) 90̊ parallels in the north and 90̊ parallels in south. Thus we have in total ______ parallels on a
globe.

30. MERIDIANS AND LONGITUDE
• MERIDIANS AND LONGITUDE ARE IMAGINARY LINES THAT RUNS
FROM _______________ TO ________________
• THE MERIDIAN PASSING THROUGH GREENWHICH. CAN YOU
LOCATE THIS PLACE.
• THIS MERIDIAN IS ALSO KNOWN AS PRIME MERIDIAN.
• DIVIDES THE EARTH INTO WESTERN &
EASTERN HEMISPHERE.
