Lesson about latitude

1. LATITUDE
Presented By: Justine Dave B. Caballero

2. What is Latitude?
In geography, latitude is a coordinate
that specifies the north-south position of
a point on the surface of the earth or
another celestial body. Latitude is given
as an angle that ranges from -90° at the
south pole to 90° at the north pole, with
0° at the equator. Latitude also measures
the distance north to south of the
equator. It is measured with 180
imaginary lines that form circles around
earth east-west, parallel to the equator.
these lines are known as parallels. A
circle of latitude is an imaginary ring
linking all points sharing a parallel.

3. What is the Importance
of Latitude?
Lines of latitude are significant not just for global
navigation-but, more fundamentally, because they
reflect the changing angle of the sun in respect to the
earth. This alone determines day length, seasonality,
and to a large extent climate.

4. Fun Facts About Latitude

5. Why do the Places Near the
Equator have Higher
Temperatures and Farther
the Equator has Low
Temperatures?

6. Different Zones on our Earth

7. Tropical Zone

8. Tropical Zone
The tropics are warm all year, averaging
25 to 28 degrees Celsius (77 to 82 degrees
Fahrenheit). This is because the tropics
get more exposure to the sun. Because of
all that sun, the tropics don’t experience
the kind of seasons the rest of Earth does.
The tropics are the regions of earth
surrounding the Equator. They are
defined in latitude by the Tropic of
Cancer in the Northern Hemisphere at
23°26'10.2" N at the Tropic of Capricorn in
the Southern Hemisphere at 23°26'10.2" S.
The tropics are also referred to as the
tropical zone and the torrid zone. the
tropical zone only experience the wet
season and the dry season.

9. Temperate Zone

10. Temperate Zone
Temperature zones are the mild temperature areas
located between the subtropical and the polar regions.
The two regions between the Tropic of Capricorn and the
Antarctic Circle or the Tropic of Cancer and the Arctic
circle are called the temperate zones. Temperate climates
cycle through all four seasons-winter, spring, summer,
and autumn. Much of the United States is in a
temperature climate zone. The Koppen climate
classification defines a climate as “temperate’ C, when the
mean temperature is above-3 °C(26.6 °F) but below 18 °C
(64.4 °F) in the coldest month to account for the
persistence of frost. However, some adaptations of
Koppen set the minimum at 0 °C (32 °F)

11. Arctic Zone

12. Arctic Zone
The Arctic is the northernmost region of earth. Most
scientist define the Arctic as the area within the Arctic
Circle, a line of latitude about 66.5° north of the
Equator. Within this circle are the Arctic ocean basin
and the northern parts of Scandinavia, Russia, Canada,
Greenland, and the U.S. state of Alaska. The Arctic is
located in the so-called “friggid zone”, which extends
from 60° N to 90° N. This climate zone is again divided
into a polar and a subpolar zone. Both the North and
South Pole are very cold because they get very little
direct sunlight throughout the year. This has to do
with where the poles are located on the sphere-shaped
earth. In the Arctic, there are two main seasons but
they are far from equal.: long, icy and dark winter
lasting 9 months and a short, very cool summer lasting
only 3 months
