• Not an exact location 
  

Locating places on the globe

To locate the exact position of a place, you need two pieces of information:

• The latitude: Breedtegraad 
• The longitude: Lengtegraad 

Latitude

Circles of latitude are imaginary horizontal circles around the globe.

The equator:

• Is a circle of latitude 
  
• Divides the Earth in North and South 
  
• Is at zero 
  
• Everything above the equator is N 
  
• Everything below the equator is S 
  

Latitude:

Circles of latitude are imaginary horizontal circles around the globe.

The equator:

• Is a circle of latitude 
  
• Divides the Earth in North and South 
  
• Is at zero°
  
  
• Everything above the equator is N 
  
• Everything below the equator is S 
  

Longitude

Circles of longitude are imaginary 

vertical circles around the globe. 

The prime meridian: 

• Is a circle of longitude 
  
• Divides the Earth in East and West 
  
• Is at zero°
  
  
• Everything right from the prime meridian is E 
  
• Everything left from the prime meridian is W 
  

Coordinates

Northern latitude = NL

Southern latitude = SL

Eastern latitude = EL

Western latitude = WL

Degrees = °

How to find the exact location

Steps:

1. Find the place on the most zoomed in map as possible 
   
2. Is the place N or S? 
   
3. Find the latitude. 
   
4. Is the place E or W? 
   
5. Find the longitude 
   

Locating places

Together, find the exact location of the following cities:

• Hamburg 
  
• Manaus 
  

Now in pairs find the exact location of:

Tokio 

Rio de Janeiro 

Los Angeles 

Stockholm

• 35° N, 140° E
  
• 23° S, 43° W
  
• 34° N, 118° W
  
• 59° N, 16° E

Locating places on the globe

Make question 7

Reversed locating

So far you've learned how to find the coordinates of a place.

Now you're going to learn how to find a place when you only know the coordinates.

Reversed locating

Note:

Find the place belonging to the coordinates by using the atlas.

1. Start global with the world map 
   
2. Zoom in to the most detailed map possible 
   
3. Find the latitude 
   
4. Find the longitude 
   
5. Pinpoint the place 
   

Reversed location

Together:

3°N, 162°E 

7°S, 132°E 

7.2°N, 7.15°E
