6. Study the drawing on the right. It shows the lines of longitude. Q5. Describe the lines of longitude. Q6. Show the lines of longitude an the glabe when your teacher asks you. Q7. The starting point for longitude is the Prime Meridian. The Prime Meridian is at longitude 0°. Show the Prime Meridian on the globe when your teacher asks you. Q8. To the right of the Prime Meridian, the longitude is written this way: 15°E (15 degrees east), 30°E (30 degrees east), and so on. To the left of the Prime Meridian, the langitude is written as 15°W (15 degrees west), 30°W (30 degrees west), and so on. On your globe, find longitude 180°. What does this longitude represent? Q9. Not all lines of longitude are shown on a globe. If you want to find 20°W, where should you look? Figure 7 Q10. The location of a place may be described by using lattude and langitude. To the nearest degree, what is the latitude and longitude of Manila? Q11. Compared to the size of the warld, Manila is just a tiny spot, and its location may be described using a pair of latitude and longitude. But how would you describe the location of an "area" such as the whole Philippines?
