A world map of latitude and longitude lines is shown. The lines of latitude start at zero at the center of the map, crossing through portions of South America, Africa, and South Asia, and move both north and south from the line marked zero in twenty degree increments, ending in 80 degrees north running just above Alaska, Canada, and Russia and 80 degrees south crossing Antarctica. The lines of longitude start at zero at the center of the map, crossing through portions of Europe, Africa, and Antarctica, and move both east and west in twenty degree increments, ending in 180 degrees which runs through the Pacific Ocean. The lines of latitude the run through North America are as follows: 20 degrees runs through the southern portion of Mexico, 40 degrees run through the southern portion of the United States, from California to the Mid-Atlantic States. 60 degrees run through the southern portion of Alaska, then through the middle of Canada. The lines of longitude that run through North America are as follows: 80 degrees runs through the very eastern edge of Canada and Maine. 100 runs through the eastern portion of Canada and through the central portion of the United States, just west of the Great Lakes. 120 runs through central Canada, and the western portion of the United States, around the Rocky Mountains. 140 degrees runs through a portion of western Canada. 160 degrees runs through the western portion of Alaska. Four hot spots are on the map. One is in North America near the West Coast of the United States. One is in South America near the west coast in the middle of the continent. One is in Africa on the East coast near the bottom tip of the continent. One is in the Pacific Ocean off the Eastern coast of Asia.
