Step 1. Take out a separate piece of loose leaf paper and write your name on it. Title the page as Longitude and Latitude Review.
Step 2. Write down these questions:
1. How do we define hemisphere?
2. What is a meridian?
3. Where is the prime meridian located?
Go to the website and go through the slide show. Write down the multiple choice questions it asks you, the first question being #4 on your page.
For the mercator map of the world, label your longitudinal and latitudinal lines using a degree symbol instead of a theta symbol. Under the map, write the steps of how you find a spot using longitude and latitude.
