Q

Lines of longitude:

Degrees of logitude are spread out around the globe from

A

0 degrees to 180 E / W

20
Q

Lines of longitude:

180 line of logitude

(both names)

A

Greenwich merdian / prime meridian

21
Q

Lines of longitude and latitude:

How do they get their name

A

From the size of the angle that is formed between 0 + the centre of globe

22
Q

What is a Hemisphere:

What is the shape of a globe called

23
Q

What is a Hemisphere:

Half of a sphere

A

hemisphere

24
Q

What is a Hemisphere:

How can a sphere be divided

A

Into 2 halves / hemispheres. It can be cut vertically and horizontally

25
# Northern and Southern hemispheres: Are divided by what | (look at heading)
Equator
26
# Northern and Southern hemispheres: How are they divided
Horizontally
27
# Eastern and Western hemispheres: Divided by what
Greenwich merdian / prime meridian
28
# Eastern and Western hemispheres: How are they divided
Vertically
29
# Eastern and Western hemispheres: Why is the eastern and western hemispheres divided by the 180 degree line of longitude?
They chose 1 vertical line - it has one line that faces us - one that doesn't | - they = scientists
30
# Eastern and Western hemispheres: The line that faces us
Greenwich Meridian (Prime) - 0 degree line
31
# Eastern and Western hemispheres: Line that faces away from us
180 degree line of logitude
32
# Eastern and Western hemispheres: Where does the 'special' line run from | (special - greenwich/prime meridian)
Pole to pole
33
# Location of SA: Located where | Hemispheres
Southern and Eastern
34
# Latitude and logitude on a map: What follows after every degree of latitude
North / south
35
# Latitude and logitude on a map: What follows after every degree of logitude
East / west
36
# Naming points on a map: Latitude / Longitude first when plotting
Latitude then logitude
37
# Naming points on a map: Why must we write N, S, W or E after the number
So we know the if it's e/w of the greenwich and N/S of the equator
38
# Naming points on a map: What do we do if the place is not exactly on a line
estimate the closest answer
39
Consept of scale
An object that is an exact but smaller copy of the original -called a model
40
Model | (keeps what)
Keeps the shape of the original object
41
How are the cars scaled? | (there is a **big** car and a **small** car)
They are **scaled down** | (copies of the real objects)
42
What is the same about the original and the model?
They look exactly the same
43
**Why** are the model and original object the same?
Because the model is **equally** smaller
44
What do we say when a model has been reduced in size?
It has been **scaled down**
45
What do we call the number of times a model has been reduced?
The **size**
46
What can also happen to a model other than being scaled down?
It can be made **larger**
47
What do we call it when a model is made bigger?
**Enlarged** / **scaled up**
