Geography nuggets - Where on earth are you? (part 1)
Simple video about how to determine our position on the earth.
What are Latitude and Longitude and how do they work?
The explanation takes a while, if you are not familiar with the subject, so I broke this lesson up in more than one part.
The second part will be uploaded later. Let me know if you have any questions.
