Question

mapping the earths surface notes
latitude
aka:
run & around the world.
divides earth in half into northern & southern hemispheres
equator = 0°
parallels are labeled north (n) or south (s) of equator.
one = 60 minutes ()
each = 60 seconds (″)
longitude
aka:
run & around the world.
divides earth in half into eastern & western hemispheres
prime meridian = 0°
meridian half way around the world = 180°
great circles
used in of long - distance aircraft.
divides the earth in half.
any two meridians of longitude directly across the globe from each other.
distance between 2 points on a sphere.
finding direction
can find direction with a magnetic
global positioning system (gps) - satellite navigation system based on satellites transmitting radio signals.
at least 3 satellites are needed to determine location.
making maps
map = flat representation of earth.
map making = cartography.
field survey, walk or drive by.
remote sensing - satellites or airplanes obtain surface images.

Explanation:

Latitude is also known as parallels, runs east - west around the world, and the equator divides the Earth into hemispheres. One degree of latitude is divided into 60 minutes and each minute into 60 seconds. Longitude is also called meridians, runs north - south, and the prime meridian divides the Earth into eastern and western hemispheres. Great circles are used in the navigation of long - distance aircraft and represent the shortest distance between two points on a sphere. Direction can be found with a magnetic compass.

Answer:

Latitude:
AKA: Parallels
Run: East, West
Equator divides Earth: Yes
Equator = 0°
One degree = 60 minutes (')
Each minute = 60 seconds (")
Longitude:
AKA: Meridians
Run: North, South
Prime Meridian divides Earth: Yes
Prime Meridian = 0°
Meridian half - way around = 180°
Great Circles:
Used in: Navigation
Divides Earth: Yes
Distance between 2 points: Shortest
Finding Direction:
Can find with: Magnetic compass
Making Maps:
Map = Flat representation
Map making = Cartography
Field survey methods: Walk or drive by
Remote sensing: Satellites or airplanes
