Vocabulary Quiz Tomorrow, Thursday, 10/4/12

Below is a copy of the vocabulary that I gave you yesterday and the single math problem. Here it is in case you forgot to take it home to study for the quiz tonight!


Time Zone Vocabulary
1.   Earth's rotation - the earth rotates 1 complete time in 24 hours

2.   meridians (longitude lines) - the ancient Greeks mathematically divided the earth into 360 equal segments that were 15° wide in order to create a system of time for each 24 hour day

3.   360 ÷ 24 (hours) = 15 (or 15°)

4.   Prime Meridian -   0° longitude (the starting point)

5.   Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) - Greenwich, England is the city that sits directly on the Prime Meridian; GMT refers to solar time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England. Also referred to as Zulu Time.

6.   International Dateline - a generally north-south imaginary line on the surface of the Earth, passing through the middle of the Pacific Ocean, that designates the place where each calendar day begins. It is roughly along 180° longitude, opposite the Prime Meridian.

      Ummm. I just got it stuck in my head that it was 360 after studying it. I hope I don't have to re-learn it.

    mr.pickins gave garret taylor ISS because garret tapped on mr.pickins on the chest by accident and mr.pickins called it you-know-what harassment!!!! :(((((
    that is really not fair if you ask me. garret did not mean any wrong, and mr.pickins is unreasonable for assuming anything like that.
