The document provides information about globes and maps. It begins by noting that the earliest known globe was constructed by Greek geographer Crates of Mallus. It then defines a globe as a model of the Earth that gives an accurate picture of its surface and shows locations at a smaller scale. The document also states that 29% of the Earth's surface is land consisting of seven continents, while 71% is water covering five oceans. It proceeds to discuss latitude and longitude lines and how they are used to locate positions on the globe.

2.  Based on
recorded history,
the most probable
earliest globe was
constructed by the
Greek geographer
Crates of Mallus.

3. What is a globe ?
A globe :
Is a model of the
earth
Gives an accurate
picture of the
earth’s surface
Shows the location
of places on the a
smaller scale

4.  29 % of the earth’s
surface is land.
 Large land masses
are called
continents. There
are seven continents:
 Asia
 Africa
 North America
 South America
 Europe
 Australia
 Antarctica
 71% of earth’s
surface is covered
by water.
 Large water bodies
are called oceans.
 There are five
oceans:
 Indian
 Pacific
 Atlantic
 Arctic
 Southern
C

8. • Latitude lines are imaginary lines on
the earth's surface. They run east
and west around the globe and tell
you your distance north or south of
the Equator.

9. • The Equator circles Earth halfway
between the north and south poles
separating Earth into two equal
halves called the Northern
Hemisphere and the Southern
Hemisphere.

11. Lines of latitude are lines running
parallel to the equator.
• Latitude is the
distance in
degrees north or south
of the equator.

12.  Latitude is thus measured from 0° at the equator
to 90° at the poles.
• Locations north of the
equator are referred to
by degrees north
latitude (N).
• Locations south of the
equator are referred to
by degrees south
latitude (S).

13. – Another special
lines of Latitude
are found at 66
½ North and 66
½ South of the
Equator.
 In the Northern
Hemisphere,
Latitude 66 ½ is
called the
Arctic
Circles.

14. – In the Southern
Hemisphere, latitude 66
½ is known as the
Antarctic Circles
 Between the two tropics
and these lines of
Latitude are the Middle
Latitudes
 Beyond Latitude 66 ½
North and South of the
Equator are the High
Latitudes.
 The Parallels are
specially noted to show
separation between
areas that get different
amounts of sunlight.

15.  To locate positions in east and west directions,
cartographers use lines of longitude, also known
as Meridians.
• Longitude is the distance in
degrees east or west of the
Prime Meridian.
• The Prime Meridian,
representing 0° longitude,
is the reference point for
longitude.

16. Points west of the prime meridian
are numbered from 0° to 180°
west longitude (W).
• Points east of the
prime meridian
are numbered
from 0° to 180°
east longitude (E).

18. Semicircles
– Lines of longitude are not parallel; they are large
semicircles that extend vertically from pole to pole.
– The distances covered by
degrees of longitude vary
with location.
– One degree of longitude
varies from about 111 km
at the equator to essentially
the distance covered by a
point at the poles.
Degrees of Longitude

19. Locating Places with Coordinates
– Both latitude and longitude
are needed to precisely
locate positions on Earth.
– For example, the location
of New Orleans is
29°57´N, 90°04´W.
– Note that latitude comes
first in reference to the
coordinates of a
particular location.

20.  is an imaginary line on Earth's surface defining
the boundary between one day and the next.
 is located halfway around the world from the
prime meridian (0° longitude) or about 180°
east (or west) of Greenwich, London, UK, the
reference point of time zones.

21.  Because Earth takes about 24 hours to rotate
once on its axis, it is divided into 24 times
zones, each representing a different hour.

24.  There are six
different
time zones in
the
United
States.

25.  A hemisphere means half of a sphere.
 HEMI= half
 SPHERE= circle or globe

26.  Northern Hemisphere
Southern Hemisphere
Eastern Hemisphere
Western Hemisphere

31. • Continent – Largest land masses on the planet.
 BIGGER than countries, states, counties, cities,
and your back yard
• Ocean – Largest body of water on the planet
 BIGGER than seas, lakes, ponds, and mud
puddles
