Day 14- Exact Locations and Relative locations

Today in class we learned about finding exact locations and relative locations. The first thing we learned about was Lat and Long which is very useful for finding a location. Latitude lines go horizontally, and longitude goes vertically. The reason that it is so useful is because anywhere in the world can be found by using las long because it relies on the latitude and longitude lines to tell you the exact location of something. The next thing we learned about were parallels which are the horizontal lines that go around the globe and never stops. The way that parallels are said as the seventy eighth parallels the equator is the most center parallel and goes around the earth and has the parallel of 0. The prime meridian is the line that mark is on 0 longitude and goes through Greenland. Meridians are the lines of longitude and they also help create time zones. The original time zones were created back in 1884 and set the universal.
