Geographic grid-system of imaginary arcs drawn in a grid pattern on Earth's surface
Latitude-geographic coordinate that specifies the north and south position
Longitude-geographic coordinate that specifies the east and west position on Earth's surface
Parallels- constant lines of latitude
Meridians-connect points with the same longitude
The major significant lines of latitude and longitude are the Prime Meridian and the Equator.
In class we plotted absolute locations of Washington D.C, London, Mexico City, Sao Paolo, Cairo, Moscow, Beijing and Tokyo.
