Globe and Map Skills
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A small copy of Earth you can hold in your hands; imitates the round shape of Earth which is called a sphere | globe |
| The two imaginary lines that divide Earth into halves- | the equator and the prime meridian |
| half view of the Earth | hemisphere |
| imaginary line drawn around the center of a globe or map that divides Earth into two hemispheres- Northern and Southern Hemispheres | equator |
| this hemisphere is north of the equator | Northern |
| the only way to see all of this hemisphere is to turn a globe until you are looking directly down at the North Pole | Northern |
| continents NOT found in this hemisphere are Australia and Antarctica | Northern |
| only ocean not found in this hemisphere is the Southern Ocean | Northern |
| the hemisphere that contains the most land | Northern |
| the hemisphere that is south of the equator | Southern |
| the only way to see all of this hemisphere is to turn a globe and look directly down at the South Pole | Southern Hemisphere |
| continents NOT found in this hemisphere are North America, Europe, and Asia | Southern Hemisphere |
| only ocean not found in the Southern Hemisphere | Arctic Ocean |
| hemisphere that contains the most water | Southern |
| imaginary line that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole that divides Earth into Eastern and Western Hemisphere | Prime Meridian |
| Where the prime meridian passes through | Greenwich, England |
| half of Earth that is East of the Prime Meridian | Eastern Hemisphere |
| continents of Asia and Australia are found entirely in this hemisphere | Eastern Hemisphere |
| Maja lives in this hemisphere | Western Hemisphere |
| half of Earth that is west of the Prime Meridian | Western Hemisphere |
| continents of North and South America are found entirely in this hemisphere | Western Hemisphere |
| Only ocean not found in the Western Hemisphere | Indian Ocean |
| set of imaginary lines that go East and West on a globe or map that measure distances north and south of the equator | latitude |
| These are measured in degrees | latitude |
| Equator is this degree | zero |
| These lines are parallel to each other | latitude |
| These lines get smaller until they ends in dots at the North Pole and South Pole | latitude |
| lines of latitude are this many degrees apart from each other in both directions | 15 |
| set of imaginary circles that go north and south on a globe or map and measure distances east and west of the prime meridian | lines of longitude |
| lines of longitude are this many degrees apart | 15 |
| this line of longitude measures 0 degrees | prime meridian |
| Are lines of longitude all the same size? | Yes |
| these lines are not parallel | lines of longitude |
| these lines go east and west for 180 degrees | lines of longitude |
| line of latitude that divides Earth into Northern and Southern hemispheres; measures 0 degrees | equator |
| line of latitude found in the northern hemisphere at 23.5; runs through Mexico, The Bahamas, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, India, and southern China | Tropic of Cancer |
| Found in the Northern Hemisphere at 66.5, the sun is out for 24 hours on the first day of summer and not out at all on the first day of winter | Arctic Circle |
| found in the southern Hemisphere at 23.5; runs through the countries of Australia, Chile, southern Brazil and northern South Africa | Tropic of Capricorn |
| found in the SOuthern Hemisphere at 66.5; the sun is out for the first 24 hours on the first day of winter and not out at all the first day of summer | Antarctic Circle |
| This is the only country that the equator and tropic pass through | Brazil |
