MAPS AND GLOBES: Question 1
Define the following terms:
1.1Planet
1.2 Line of longitude
1.3 Degrees
1.4 Equator
1.5 Meridians
(5)
Question 2
Give one word for the following definition:
2.1 A sphere or model of the Earth.
2.2 The distance of a place north or south of the equator measured in degrees and
minutes.
,2.3 The meridian from which longitude is determined. Most countries use the meridian
that runs through Greenwich in the United Kingdom.
2.4 The distance of a place west or east of the Greenwich meridian measured in degrees
and minutes.
2.5 An imaginary line on a map that runs parallel to the equator.
(5)
Question 3
Fill in the missing words
Latitudes and longitudes are numbered if you measure from the centre of the earth. Each
degree of a latitude and longitude can be divided into 3.1 smaller parts and 3.2 called
. Every place by a latitude and longitude 3.3 . Each of these lines has a number
a 3.4 of the place. If we give the coordinates of a location, we always give first
the 3.5 (3.6 or 3.7), then the 3.8 (3.9
or 10.3).
