MapMaster Skills: Using Latitude and Longitude
Every place on earth has two points, or coordinates, that mark its location. These
coordinates are measured in degrees of latitude and degrees of longitude. Imagine
that you want to find out where Beijing, China, is. You start with the index section
of an atlas. This index gives you not only the page number of the map of China, but
also the coordinates for Beijing: 40°N, 116°E. So you know that when you turn to
the map of China, you will look for the line of latitude marked 40°N. Then, you will
look in the area between 110°E and 120°E and you will find Beijing.
Directions: The map of Australia below shows lines of latitude and lines of longitude, each
labeled in degrees. Give the approximate locations of the cities listed below the map.
