HINTS for finding the latitude, Longitude information:
1.
Use Google Maps https://support.google.com/maps/answer/18539
to find the latitude / longitude coordinates of the location you are discussing.
2.
This could be the origin of the event (e.g. epicentre) or one location where the aspect you discuss was “hazardous” or “disastrous”.
3.
Most commonly this information is written as: Latitude, Longitude (together but separated by a comma; this is also Google’s format, and easier to review). However, these two values will be entered into Canvas separately.
Latitude and Longitude
. Write the two values separated by a comma, for example UBC Latitude, Longitude is:
49.260598, -123.246133. (If present, minus signs are important!) How? See illustrated steps on last page of this Worksheet. ___________________

The eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991 is fascinating to me for a few reasons. It was a hugely powerful volcanic event, revealing the forces at play in our natural world. Studying it helps me understand the intricate workings of Earth's geology and how volcanic eruptions can impact our environment.
What's even more interesting is that the eruption had global consequences, affecting climate patterns and showing how everything in nature is connected. _______________________________________________________________________________________________

Latitude and Longitude
Most students in past terms got this correct. But it is easy to mix up latitude and longitude values. AND, getting their SIGN right is the most common source of error. This figure is a reminder. Please be careful when copying your latitude and longitude values from your online source to your Worksheet and to your Class Map quiz. Note for example, ALL Canadian locations have NEGATIVE longitude values!
