Introduction to latitude and longitude - KS2/KS3 - Free Printable

Problem Analysis:

The task is to identify and label the lines of latitude and longitude on a globe, as well as other key features such as the poles, hemispheres, and specific lines. The provided image shows two globes: one with latitude lines and another with longitude lines. We need to fill in the blanks based on our understanding of geography.

Solution:

#### Top Globe (Latitude Lines):
1. Pole: This is the North Pole. It is labeled at the top of the globe.
2. Hemisphere:
- The upper hemisphere is the Northern Hemisphere.
- The lower hemisphere is the Southern Hemisphere.
3. Lines of Latitude:
- The line at 0° is the Equator.
- The line at 30°N is the Tropic of Cancer.
- The line at 60°N is the Arctic Circle.
- The line at 30°S is the Tropic of Capricorn.
- The line at 60°S is the Antarctic Circle.

#### Bottom Globe (Longitude Lines):
1. Pole: This is the South Pole. It is labeled at the bottom of the globe.
2. Line of Longitude:
- The line passing through 0° is the Prime Meridian.
- The line passing through 90°E is the line of longitude at 90° East.
- The line passing through 90°W is the line of longitude at 90° West.
- The line passing through 180° is the International Date Line.

Filling in the Blanks:

#### Top Globe (Latitude Lines):
- Pole: North Pole
- Hemisphere: Northern Hemisphere (above the Equator), Southern Hemisphere (below the Equator)
- Lines of Latitude:
- At 0°: Equator
- At 30°N: Tropic of Cancer
- At 60°N: Arctic Circle
- At 30°S: Tropic of Capricorn
- At 60°S: Antarctic Circle

#### Bottom Globe (Longitude Lines):
- Pole: South Pole
- Line of Longitude:
- At 0°: Prime Meridian
- At 90°E: Line of longitude at 90° East
- At 90°W: Line of longitude at 90° West
- At 180°: International Date Line

Final Answer:

\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{l}
\text{Top Globe:} \\
\text{Pole: North Pole} \\
\text{Hemisphere: Northern Hemisphere (above the Equator), Southern Hemisphere (below the Equator)} \\
\text{Lines of Latitude:} \\
\text{- At } 0^\circ: \text{Equator} \\
\text{- At } 30^\circ \text{N}: \text{Tropic of Cancer} \\
\text{- At } 60^\circ \text{N}: \text{Arctic Circle} \\
\text{- At } 30^\circ \text{S}: \text{Tropic of Capricorn} \\
\text{- At } 60^\circ \text{S}: \text{Antarctic Circle} \\
\\
\text{Bottom Globe:} \\
\text{Pole: South Pole} \\
\text{Line of Longitude:} \\
\text{- At } 0^\circ: \text{Prime Meridian} \\
\text{- At } 90^\circ \text{E}: \text{Line of longitude at 90° East} \\
\text{- At } 90^\circ \text{W}: \text{Line of longitude at 90° West} \\
\text{- At } 180^\circ: \text{International Date Line}
\end{array}
