Map Skills: Longitude (2nd Ed.) (clip)

To describe the location of any place on Earth, we need to know not only latitude, but longitude as well. Wildlife photographer Natalie Haymaker demonstrates the location and role of the prime meridian, the measurement of longitude, and the time zones, as well as how the distance between longitude lines gets shorter away from the equator.

Part of "Map Skills," which is a five-part series that provides a world of information through delightfully animated programs featuring the exploits of a wildlife photographer and an outdoorsman. Difficult concepts are described clearly and completely. Produced by Christianson Productions, Inc. A Coronet release. 15 minutes, color.
