DIRECTIONS:
1. Find the Equator and the Prime Meridian. Trace over their lines.
2. Label the cardinal directions.
3. Determine the hemispheres and label them.
4. Remember:
- Always read the lines of latitude first. They are like the “lines on a ladder” and will have a NORTH or
SOUTH direction such as 45N or 38 S.
- Read the lines of longitude second. They are like “long telephone poles” running through the two poles.
They will always have an EAST or WEST direction such as 33E or 49W.
5. Find the letters on the map. Record their absolute location on the line next to each letter.
(use the “center” of the letter as your focal point).
