Globe interactive worksheet - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step to match each label on the globe with the correct term.

We have 6 blank boxes pointing to different parts of the Earth diagram, and 6 terms to choose from:
- Greenwich Meridian
- North Pole
- Equator
- South Pole
- Latitude
- Longitude

---

Step 1: Look at the topmost point of the globe — that’s the North Pole. The box pointing there should be labeled “North Pole”.

Step 2: Look at the bottommost point — that’s the South Pole. The box pointing there is “South Pole”.

Step 3: The red line going horizontally around the middle of the Earth — that’s the Equator. It divides the Earth into Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

Step 4: The red line going vertically from North Pole to South Pole through Europe/Africa — that’s the Greenwich Meridian (also called Prime Meridian). It’s the 0° longitude line.

Step 5: Now look at the horizontal blue lines circling the globe — these are lines of Latitude. They run east-west but measure north-south position.

Step 6: The vertical blue lines running from pole to pole — these are lines of Longitude. They run north-south but measure east-west position.

Now let’s assign them based on where the arrows point in the diagram:

Top-left box → points to a horizontal blue line → Latitude

Top-right box → points to the very top of the globe → North Pole

Middle-right box → points to the vertical red line → Greenwich Meridian

Middle-left box → points to a horizontal red line across the middle → Equator

Bottom-left box → points to the very bottom of the globe → South Pole

Bottom-right box → points to a vertical blue line → Longitude

Wait — let me double-check the positions carefully.

Actually, looking again:

- Top-left arrow: points to a *horizontal* grid line (blue) → that’s Latitude
- Top-right arrow: points to the *top tip* of the globe → North Pole
- Middle-right arrow: points to the *vertical red line* passing through UK/Africa → Greenwich Meridian
- Middle-left arrow: points to the *horizontal red line* around the waist of Earth → Equator
- Bottom-left arrow: points to the *bottom tip* → South Pole
- Bottom-right arrow: points to a *vertical blue line* → Longitude

Yes, that matches all six.

Final matching:

Top-left → Latitude
Top-right → North Pole
Middle-right → Greenwich Meridian
Middle-left → Equator
Bottom-left → South Pole
Bottom-right → Longitude

Final Answer:
Top-left: Latitude
Top-right: North Pole
Middle-right: Greenwich Meridian
Middle-left: Equator
Bottom-left: South Pole
Bottom-right: Longitude
