Educational worksheet for kids to learn the difference between latitude and longitude by sorting descriptive phrases into the correct categories.

Problem Overview:

The task is to categorize statements about latitude and longitude into the correct columns. The goal is to understand the differences between latitude and longitude lines on a globe.

Key Concepts:

1. Latitude:
- Lines that run horizontally around the Earth.
- Measure distance north or south of the Equator.
- The Equator is at 0° latitude.
- These lines are called parallels.

2. Longitude:
- Lines that run vertically around the Earth.
- Measure distance east or west of the Prime Meridian.
- The Prime Meridian (in Greenwich) is at 0° longitude.
- These lines are called meridians.

Solution:

We need to match each statement with either "Latitude" or "Longitude" based on the definitions above.

#### Statements:
1. Lines that run north and south.
- This describes Longitude because longitude lines run vertically (north-south).

2. These lines are called parallels.
- This describes Latitude because latitude lines are called parallels.

3. Lines extending around the Earth horizontally.
- This describes Latitude because latitude lines run horizontally around the Earth.

4. Measure distance east or west.
- This describes Longitude because longitude measures distances east or west of the Prime Meridian.

5. The Equator is at 0° degrees.
- This describes Latitude because the Equator is a latitude line at 0°.

6. The Prime Meridian, in Greenwich, is at 0°.
- This describes Longitude because the Prime Meridian is a longitude line at 0°.

7. Lines run east or west.
- This describes Longitude because longitude lines run vertically and measure distances east or west.

8. These lines are called meridians.
- This describes Longitude because longitude lines are called meridians.

9. The lines running vertically around the Earth.
- This describes Longitude because longitude lines run vertically.

10. Measure distance north or south.
- This describes Latitude because latitude measures distances north or south of the Equator.

Final Answer:

- Latitude Column:
1. Lines extending around the Earth horizontally.
2. These lines are called parallels.
3. The Equator is at 0° degrees.
4. Measure distance north or south.

- Longitude Column:
1. Lines that run north and south.
2. Measure distance east or west.
3. The Prime Meridian, in Greenwich, is at 0°.
4. Lines run east or west.
5. These lines are called meridians.
6. The lines running vertically around the Earth.
