2.3 Coordinates

• What is a coordinate?– Coordinates is the

intersection of a longitude and latitude. It is used to get the precise position of a location on a map

• How are coordinates measured?– A place's coordinates are measured in ...

degrees (˚), minutes (') and seconds ('')

In 1 degree there are 60 minutesIn 1 minute there are 60 seconds.

2.3 Coordinates

• What comes first?– Latitude: Horizontal lines on the map

In South Africa – always SOUTHof the equator. (Latitude)

– Longitude: Vertical lines on the map

In South Africa – always EASTof the die Greenwich. (Longitude)

• How do we write coordinates? First: Latitude - Degrees, minutes, seconds

Second: Longitude - Degrees, minutes, secondsExample: 23˚01’ South and 29˚01’ East

23˚02’ South and 29˚30’30” East

Unit 1: Maps and globes2. How do we determine position and measure actual distances on a map?

2.3 Coordinates

REMEMBER! For coordinates in South Africa, the Latitude line (horizontal) will always be South of the Equator and the Longitude Line (Vertical) will always be East of the Greenwich.

Example:

23˚01’ South and 29˚01’ East

Example. A’s coordinates are 23˚01’S & 29˚01’E

Unit 1: Maps and globes2. How do we determine position and measure actual distances on a map?

2.4 Different types of scales

What is a scale? • A scale shows the size of an area in relation to the

actual size• Type of scales– The verbal method• This is a statement• Example: 1cm = 8km• It means that 1cm which is on the map is equal to 8km in

actual distance..

17

Unit 1: Maps and globes2. How do we determine position and measure actual distances on a map?

2.4 Different types of scales

– The Graphic Method• depicts scale using a line, with separations marked by smaller

intersecting lines, similar to a ruler. By measuring the distance between two objects on a map, and then referring to the graphic scale

18

Unit 1: Maps and globes2. How do we determine position and measure actual distances on a map?

2.4 Different types of scales

– The Fractional Method• uses a representative fraction to

describe the ration between the map, and the real world. • In this example 1 unit of distance on

the map represents 50,000 of the same units of distance in the real world.

19

• What is distance?– Distance is the length of the space between two points.

• Straight line distance or Crooked line distance– Straight-line distances can be measured with a ruler– Crooked line distances should be measured with a paper

strip.

Unit 1: Maps and globes2. How do we determine position and measure actual distances on a map?

2.5 Measure the actual distance of two places on a map, in km or m.

Unit 1: Maps and globes2. How do we determine position and measure actual distances on a map?

2.5 Measure the actual distance of two places on a map, in km or m.

How do I determine the distance between two places?

– Formula vir km: Distance (mm) x Map Scale1 000 000

– Formula vir m: Distance (mm) x Map Scale 1000

– BV. The distance between two places is 55mm.How far in (a) km and (b) m are they apart?The map scale is 1:50 000.

21

a. Distance (mm) x Map Scale 1000000

= 55 x 50 000 1000000

= 2.75km

a. The distance between two places on a map is 65mm. What is the actual distance in km? The map scale is 1:50 000.

b. The distance between two places on a map is 65mm. What is the actual distance in m? The map scale is1:50 000.

c. The distance between two places on a map is 30mm. What is the actual distance in km? The map scale is 1:50 000.

d. The distance between two places on a map is 80mm. What is the actual distance in m? The map scale is 1:50 000.

24

DISTANCE between two places on a map:Homework Answers

1) distance (mm) X map scale 3) distance (mm) X map scale1 000 000 1 000 000

= 65 mm X 50 000 = 55 mm X 50 0001 000 000 1 000 000

= 3,25 km = 2,75 km

2) distance (mm) X map scale 4) distance (mm) X map scale1 000 1 000

= 65 mm X 50 000 = 80 mm X 50 0001 000 1 000

= 3250 m = 4000 m

Unit 2: The Globe5. What is the value of satellite images?

5.1 Information of different satellite images.

• Political Maps: It instead focuses solely on the state and national boundaries of a place. They also include the locations of cities - both large and small

• Physical Map: A physical map is one that shows the physical landscape features of a place. They generally show things like mountains, rivers and lakes, etc.

• Climate Map: shows information about the climate of an area.

• Topographic Map: They are different however because they use contour lines instead of colors to show changes in the landscape. Contour lines on topographic maps are normally spaced at regular intervals to show elevation changes (e.g. each line represents a 100 foot (30 m) elevation change) and when lines are close together the terrain is steep.
