Latitude and Longitude
The coordinate that is written first.
What is latitude?
A way to make a flat map of the three-dimensional Earth.
What is a map projection?
The types of changes observed with remote sensing.
What is subtle?
Oblate spheroid.
What is Earth's shape?
0º for longitude.
What is the Prime Meridian?
Cylindrical, Azimuthal, and Conical.
What are the different map projections?
Observing changes about Earth from far away.
What is remote sensing?
Locations must be drawn accurately, and maps must be pleasing to the eye.
How is mapmaking an art?
The directions in which latitude is measured.
What are north and south?
The projection used to make maps of the poles.
What is azimuthal?
The ways remote sensing data is collected today.
What are planes and satellites?
Earth is three-dimensional, but maps are not.
Why is it difficult to make maps of Earth?
The directions in which longitude is measured.
What are east and west?
Miss Ciardiello would use this map projection if she wanted to make a map of the world.
What is cylindrical?
The ways remote sensing data was collected in the past.
What are kites, balloons, and pigeons?
A satellite sends a signal to satellites with known positions and calculates based on how long it takes the signal to occur.
What is how does a satellite determine location?
0º-90º
What are the angles of latitude?
The map projection that distorts features close to the north and south poles, but is useful for making maps of countries or continents.
What is conical?
A form of remote sensing, using sound waves, that normally maps the ocean floor.
What is echo sounding?
An old method estimating location based on where a ship left and its speed.
What is dead reckoning?
