Understanding the term Eurasia and finding locations using points of latitude and longitude

Europe+ Asia

=Eurasia Latitude

Latitude and Longitude• Used to find locations on a map• If someone says their location is 37N, 79W you

would know they were in Roanoke, VA

Latitude

• Imaginary lines that measure north and south of the equator– Lines run flat across

• The Equator is the line of latitude at 0 degrees
