Lines of Latitude

We talked about lines of latitude in class today. Lines of latitude are a geographic coordinate that specifies the north-south position of a point on the Earth's surface. We also talked about absolute location which is position expressed in degrees, minutes, or seconds of latitude and longitude. Relative location, which is the regional position or situation of a place relative to the position of other places. Also, we learned that cartography is the art and science of mapmaking.
