OBJECTIVE: To use the main geographic coordinates to locate different places on Earth.
Geographicalcoordinates
The geographical Coordinates are imaginary lines that allow us to locate exactly any place on Earth.
+ INFO
PARALLELS OF LATITUDE
Imaginary lines from West to East.The most important parallel is the Equator. The parallels are numbered from 0 to 90.
+ INFO
MERIDIANS OF LONGITUDE
Imaginary lines plotted from North to South.The prime meridian is the zero° or Greenwich. The meridians establish the time.

Important Meridians and ParallelsAt the north from the line of EQUATOR - The Arctic Circle 66.50 N (660 30’N) or 66 degrees 30 minute north - The Tropic of Cancer 23.50 N (230 30’N) or 23 degrees 30 minute north At the south from the line of EQUATOR -The Tropic of Capricorn 23.50 S (230 30’S) or 23 degrees 30 minute south -The Anta rctic Circle 66.50 N (660 30’N) or 66 degrees 30 minute south The Greenwich Meridian
