Lines of latitude

today in class we went over the lines of latitude.  we started class by talking about geography and what geography is, and how we can use the maps to learn a lot about human activities.  We also looked at an early Greek map that showed us one of the earliest maps that people had made of what they thought was the entire world.  These lines of longitude are organized into 360 degrees then there are 60 minutes inside arch degree.Then inside each minute there is 60 seconds.  This extreme precision helps us to find a very exact location of a place using these measurements.  Then on a map we can also find relative location which is finding the location based on other places.
