Question
I lee the atIAL Activity 2 Look at the world map on page 14. You wil see that the lines of latituc and longitude drawn on this map form a grid. Find the island of Tristar through Tristan da Cunha. Read off the latitude at the side of the map. You will see that the latitude is between 20°S and 40°S but a little closer to the 40'S line. So we can estimate that the latitude of Tristan da Cunha is 37°S. 2 Now place your ruler vertically through Tristan da Cunha. Read off the longitude at the bottom of the map. You will see that the longitude is almost halfway between 0°W and 20°W, but closer to the 20 W line. So we can estimate that the longitude of Tristan da Cuha is 12 W. da Cunha on the map in the Atlantic Ocean, west of South Africa Follow these steps to find the co-ordinates of Tristan da Cunha Sep1 Place vour ruler horizontally across the map so that it passes Step The co-ordinates of Tristan da Cunha are 37°5; 12°W. We always write the latitude first and then the longitude. Always remember to put N or S after latitude and E or W after longitude. Activity 1 Locate places on a map of the world Lse the map on page 14 to do this activity. Give the co-ordinates in latitude and longitude of each of the tollowing islands. Reunion (east of South Africa in the Indian Ocean) Madeira (west of Morocco, North Africa, in the Atlantic ocean) 1Galapagos islands (west of Ecuador, South America, in the Pacific Ocean). Find the islands at these co-ordinates: 21 42°S, 147°E 238 S, 14°W 2.2 32 N, 65°W 24 52 S, 59 W Degrees and minutes In Activity 1 you estimated the latitude or longitude to the nearest legree. It is more accurate to divide each degree up into smaller units alled minutes. Each degree consists of 60 minutes. Look at the map of Limpopo Province on page 10. Notice the grid made s the lines of latitude and longitude. See how each degree of latitude and ngitude is divided into 10 minute intervals. Minute is abbrevaited with is symbol: ese are the steps to take to find the co-ordinates of Polokwane: pi Place your ruler horizontally across the map passing through Polokwane. Read off the latitude. The latitude of Polokwane is 23 54'S. You estimate the 54' because the line falls just after 50'. 2 Place your ruler vertically down the map passing through Polokwane. Read off the longitude. The longitude of Polokwane is 29 27'E. You estimate the 27' because the line falls just before 30' min degr --. Module 1 Maps and globes Module .
