What does a globe or a map represents?
Where in the world is the Philippines?

Learning Objectives
The students will be able to:
• demonstrate how places on earth maybe
located using a coordinate system;
• describe the location of the Philippines using
latitude and longitude; and
• recognize that soil, water, rocks, coal, and
other fossil fuels are Earth material resources.
Let’s Locate Places Using the Earth’s Grid System
Latitude and Longitude
Study the diagram below:
Study the diagram below:
Equator
• An imaginary line on • Picture sa Equator
the surface, equidistant
from the North and
South Poles, dividing
the Earth into Northern
and Southern
Hemispheres
• 0 degrees Latitude
• Also called as the great
circle around the earth
Latitude
• Parallel to the equator and • Picture sa Latitude
to each other
• Runs horizontally
• Measured in degrees
• Lines of Latitude locate
places North or South of the
Equator
• North Pole is 90 degrees N
Latitude, and the South Pole
is 90 degrees S Latitude
• Can form circles
 Northern and Southern Hemisphere
• Northern Hemisphere is • Pic sa Northern
the part of the Earth Hemisphere
that lies north of the
equator.
 Northern and Southern Hemisphere
• Southern Hemisphere is • Pic sa Southern
the part of the Earth Hemisphere
that lies south of the
equator.
Latitude
• The five lines of latitude • Input the Table of the
have special names: five lines of latitude and
1. Equator their special names
2. Tropic of Cancer
3. Tropic of Capricorn
4. Arctic Circle
5. Antarctic Circle
 Tropic of Cancer and Capricorn
• Countries that are • Picture of Tropic of
located in this zone Cancer and Capricorn
experience a tropical
climate where the
annual average
temperature is above
18 degree celsius.
Sample photo of the places found in tropic
of cancer and Capricorn
 Arctic and Antarctic Circle
• Areas within Arctic and • Picture of Antarctic and
Antarctic Circle are Arctic Circle
called Polar Regions or
Frigid Zones
• Temperatures in these
regions never go above
10 degree Celsius
Sample photo of the places found in Arctic
and Antarctic Circle
Remember:
• The closer the latitude to the equator, the
warmer the climate.
• The closer it is to the poles, the colder.
• There is a relationship between the latitude of
a place and the climate it experiences.
Prime Meridian
• Imaginary line used to • Picture of Prime
indicate 0 degree Meridian
longitude
• Measured in degrees,
minutes, and seconds
• Used as the basis for the
world’s standard time
zone system
• Prime Meridian is found in
Greenwich, England
• 0 degrees Longitude
Longitude
• Not parallel to each other
• Meet at the poles (or
extend from pole to pole)
• Lines of Longitude run
vertically and locate places
East or West of the Prime
Meridian
• Also called Meridians
• 180 degrees of East
Longitude, and 180
degrees of West Longitude
 Identifying Latitude and Longitude in
Coordinate System
• Picture of latitude and longitude in a
coordinate system
Let’s try this!
• Based on the discussion, identify the points
(latitude and longitude) plotted on the
coordinate system.
• The first two points are identified for you.
