Orientation and Location

We can locate places on the Earth using the four ____________________ ____________________ : north , south , east and west . This is result of the Earth´s ____________________ and the sequence of ____________________ and ____________________ . The Earth rotates towards the ____________________ , and so the Sun rises in the ____________________ and sets in the ____________________ .

The cardinal points determine ____________________ . However , to locate a specific point on the Earth´s surface , we use a ____________________ of imaginary lines . These imaginary lines are called ____________________ and ____________________ .

____________________ are imaginary lines that run from ____________________ to ____________________ and are ____________________ to the meridians and parallel to the ____________________ . The Equator is an imaginary line ____________________ from the Poles that divides Earth into ____________________ hemispheres : The ____________________ hemisphere and the ____________________ Hemisphere .
The Equator is the parallel at ____________________ latitude .

____________________ are imaginary lines that run from ____________________ ____________________ to ____________________ ____________________ . Each meridian is the ____________________ length . The ____________________ Meridian divides the planet into two ____________________ : the ____________________ hemisphere and the ____________________ hemisphere .

____________________ ____________________ are used to define the position of a specific point on the Earth using ____________________ . To find out the geographic coordinates of a specific point we need to combine ____________________ and ____________________ .

____________________ is the angular distance between any point on the Earth´s surface and the ____________________ . It is measured in degrees . Latitude runs from ____________________ at the Equator to ____________________ at the North and South poles .

____________________ is the distance between any point on the Earth´s surface and the ____________________ ____________________ . Longitude is ____________________ if the point is located on the Prime Meridian , that passes through ____________________ , England . Longitude is measured as an angle ____________________ or ____________________ from the Prime Meridian . Longitude starts from ____________________ at the Prime Meridian to + ____________________ to the East and - ____________________ to the west .
