globe latitudes and longitudes.pptx

GRADE 6 GEOGRAPHY

1. THE GLOBE Latitudes and longitudes

2. Pre test What is the true shape of the earth? What is a globe? The 0° Meridian is also known as___________ _____. 4. What do you mean by latitudes and longitudes? 5. How many hemisphere does our earth has?

3. Learning Objectives To define latitude and longitude To differentiate between map and Globe . To locate and identify the degrees of Equator, North Pole, and South Pole on the globe.

4. Key Terms Axis Equator Greenwich Meantime Latitude Local time Longitude Poles Prime Meridian Standard Time

5. OUR EARTH GLOBE IS THE REPRESENTATION OF THE EARTH. IT IS SMALLER MODEL OF OUR EARTH. WHAT ALL THINGS CAN YOU LOCATE ON A GLOBE?

6. The Earth rotates or spins on its own axis. It is inclined to an angle of 23 ½. The pole pointing towards the pole star is called north pole. Opposite side – south pole

7. North of Equator - north Hemisphere. Below the equator – south hemisphere. Name the Imaginary line that divides the earth into north and south.

8. Lets know about the parts of Globe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvCvANs7O7k

9. Activity Task 1 Group Discussion: : Draw a globe Identify and mark the countries of Northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere in a globe. Difference between Map and Globe Task2 : Draw a T- Chart and differentiate between Map and Globe . Task3 : Draw a globe  and mark Equator, North Pole, and South Pole with degree

11. Locate continents in North and south hemisphere

12. Learning Objectives To list out features of latitude and longitude . To differentiate between latitude and longitude

13. Pre test MERIDIANS AND LONGITUDE ARE IMAGINARY LINES THAT RUNS FROM _______________ TO ________________ DIVIDES THE EARTH INTO WESTERN & EASTERN HEMISPHERE.

14. The Globe has two types of circles. 1. Parallels – the lines that run from West to East. It is parallel to Equator. Parallels or latitudes. 2. Meridians - the lines that run from North to South – Meridians or longitudes.

15. Let us observe a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNZKdv-B6b4

16. 180 MERIDIANS ON EAST AND 180 MERIDIANS ON WEST – 360 TOTAL . AT EQUATOR – THE DISTANCE BETWEEN 2 MERIDIANS IS GREATEST , AT POLES IT DECREASES.

17. HIGH AND LOW LATITUDES Low latitudes are those locations found between the Equator (0 degrees N/S) and 30 degrees N/S . The middle latitudes are found between 30 degrees N/S and 60 degrees N/S. And the high latitudes are found between 60 degrees N/S and the poles (90 degrees N/S).

18. Places near the equator has low latitudes. Places near the poles will have high latitudes. Places Latitude Climate 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

19. Features of parallels: 1. equator is the longest parallel. 2. the length of parallels start to decrease as we move towards the poles. 3. distance between two parallels are 111 km. 4. they do not meet each other.

20. Activity Task 1 Places near the equator has low latitudes. Places near the poles will have high latitudes. Give reason. Task 2: What is the difference between high and low latitudes ? Task 3: A) Equator is at the 0 degree. All parallels to the north of equator is known as North Latitudes. All parallels to the South of equator is known as _______________ Latitudes. B) 90 ̊ parallels in the north and 90 ̊ parallels in south. Thus we have in total ______ parallels on a globe.

21. Task 1 Places Latitude Climate 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

22. Task 2: What is the difference between high and low latitudes?

23. Extended Activity. Draw the Images of Latitudes Longitudes, write their degrees and label them.

24. Lets have quizz https://quizizz.com/admin/quiz/57dac184febedb18e03259d4

25. Important Parallels

26. Heat zones

27. Torrid Temperate Frigid Location Meaning Distance from the Sun Sunlight Climate Clothes

28. MERIDIANS AND LONGITUDE MERIDIANS AND LONGITUDE ARE IMAGINARY LINES THAT RUNS FROM _______________ TO ________________ THE MERIDIAN PASSING THROUGH GREENWHICH. CAN YOU LOCATE THIS PLACE. THIS MERIDIAN IS ALSO KNOWN AS PRIME MERIDIAN. DIVIDES THE EARTH INTO WESTERN & EASTERN HEMISPHERE.

29. 180 MERIDIANS ON EAST AND 180 MERIDIANS ON WEST – 360 TOTAL . AT EQUATOR – THE DISTANCE BETWEEN 2 MERIDIANS IS GREATEST , AT POLES IT DECREASES.

30. LOCATING PLACES ON THE GLOBE LOCATING PLACES ON GLOBE – GRID IS NEEDED. GRID IS THE NETWORK OF LINES ON GLOBE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDRIXoZKEEo
