Orientation, Parallels, Meridians, and the Geographical Network – Geography Presentation

This presentation explains the fundamental concepts of orientation and the geographical coordinate system. It covers cardinal directions (north, south, east, west) and how to determine location using maps and compasses. It introduces parallels (lines of latitude) and meridians (lines of longitude), explaining their role in dividing the Earth into a grid known as the geographical network. The presentation also highlights the importance of the Equator, Prime Meridian, and time zones. Through maps and examples, it demonstrates how coordinates help in navigation, cartography, and global positioning systems (GPS).
