Understanding Time and Coordinates

This video tutorial explains how to determine coordinates on a map, focusing on minutes and seconds. It covers the basics of latitude and longitude, the significance of the equator and Greenwich Meridian, and provides step-by-step instructions for calculating coordinates. The video also addresses how to handle points located between lines and emphasizes the importance of accuracy in measurements.

What is the main focus of this video tutorial?

• Understanding degrees in coordinates

• Explaining minutes and seconds in coordinates

• Learning about map symbols

• Discussing map scales

Where is the Greenwich Meridian located on a map?

• North of the equator

• South of the equator

• West of the map

• East of the map

What is the significance of the equator in map reading?

• It divides the map into east and west

• It is used to measure altitude

• It is a reference for north and south

• It marks the starting point for longitude

What happens to the degree value when you move from 59 minutes to 60 minutes?

• It remains the same

• It decreases by one degree

• It increases by one degree

• It changes to 61 minutes

How many minutes are there in one degree?
