Problem Analysis:
The task involves understanding the lines on a globe and filling in the blanks based on the provided information. The key concepts here are
latitude and
longitude, which are used to locate positions on Earth.
#### Key Points from the Table:
1.
Equator: Divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere (above) and Southern Hemisphere (below).
2.
Latitude: Lines that run parallel to the Equator, measuring distances north or south of the Equator.
3.
Longitude: Lines that run perpendicular to the Equator, measuring distances east or west of the Prime Meridian.
4.
Western Hemisphere: Includes North and South America.
5.
Eastern Hemisphere: Includes Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia.
6.
Prime Meridian: The line of longitude at 0°, which divides the Earth into Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
7.
Degrees: Used to measure both latitude and longitude.
#### Visual Clues:
- The first two globes show lines running horizontally (latitude) and vertically (longitude).
- The bottom two globes provide labeled examples of latitude and longitude lines.
Solution:
#### Step 1: Fill in the Blanks for the Globes
1.
Top Left Globe:
- The horizontal line is the
Equator.
- The blank should be filled with:
Equator.
2.
Top Right Globe:
- The vertical line is the
Prime Meridian.
- The blank should be filled with:
Prime Meridian.
3.
Bottom Left Globe:
- This globe shows lines of
latitude (horizontal lines).
- The blank should be filled with:
Latitude.
4.
Bottom Right Globe:
- This globe shows lines of
longitude (vertical lines).
- The blank should be filled with:
Longitude.
#### Step 2: Complete the Sentences
1.
Lines of ______ go _______:
- Lines of
latitude run
horizontally (parallel to the Equator).
2.
Lines of ______ go _______:
- Lines of
longitude run
vertically (perpendicular to the Equator).
3.
We measure them in _______:
- Both latitude and longitude are measured in
degrees.
Final Answer:
1. Top Left Globe:
Equator
2. Top Right Globe:
Prime Meridian
3. Bottom Left Globe:
Latitude
4. Bottom Right Globe:
Longitude
#### Sentences:
- Lines of
latitude go
horizontally.
- Lines of
longitude go
vertically.
- We measure them in
degrees.
Boxed Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{
\text{Equator, Prime Meridian, Latitude, Longitude, latitude, horizontally, longitude, vertically, degrees}
}
\]
