• Latitudes are imaginary
circles parallel to the
Equator.

• Latitudes specify the

northern and southern
hemisphere

• Measured 90˚both north

and south

LONGITUDE –is a
measurement of location
east or west of the prime
meridian at Greenwich.

Longitude is measured 180˚

both east and west of the
prime meridian
• The location of a certain
place can be described using
latitude and longitude.
• The intersection point
between the latitude and the
longitude of a certain place to
find its location is called
coordinate
• Example, Philippines is
approximately located at 12˚N,
122˚E- intersection between
latitude 12˚N and longitude
122˚E.
