Thank you. You did explain it well but I have a question. Is the time based on some speed that you would be traveling?

@ruppertrocksgeology

Жыл бұрын

Hello! It is not based on a speed you would be traveling. Here is a quick explanation: In early human history, it was observed that the year was about 360 days. Of course eventually we found out that this was not quite right - but it was pretty close! As it was an observable pattern, the idea that a circle should have 360 parts (or degrees) was invented by the Babylonians. Since this original idea was based off of time (how long a year was) it made sense to break this down further by units of time (minutes and seconds). It also helps that you can divide 360 degrees evenly by 60. So 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in a degree is where we landed.

@michaeldamolsen

Жыл бұрын

@@ruppertrocksgeology Another way to think about it is by looking at what the words minute and second really mean. We also use the word minute just to describe something that is small, and that is indeed the origin of the word minute. In time or angles t is a smaller subdivision of an hour or a degree (which are each already a subdivision of a day or a circle.) When time keeping and angle measurements required even finer granularity, a second (as in 2nd) subdivision was added, simply referred to as the second subdivision, or shorter simply "second".

I know this is probably easy for some who are familiar with latitude and longitude but if you don't use it all the time it is easy to forget and get confused!

I have read texts and watched a few videos explaining this, and they all explain how to interpret or convert DMS to and from decimal degrees, but none have explained why use this system instead of decimal degrees, or where the convention comes from. Why? When is it actually relevant? It would be helpful to know.

@ruppertrocksgeology

Жыл бұрын

Hello! A lot of it comes down to tradition. With computers and GIS advancing dramatically in the last 20 years that is changing, but of course old habits die hard. Additionally, in the corners of traditional topographic maps, there are the coordinates listed using DMS. And sometimes along the bounding lines additional points are notated this way. This is the case for some of the maps I use in my lab class which is why students need to know how to use DMS. And finally, there are still a lot of references to 7.5 minute or 15 minute maps. This gets clunky if we were to change all of those references to 0.125 degree or 0.25 degree maps. I hope that helps clarify why this is likely still used! Maybe the younger generation will help phase these traditions out! 🙂

If you look at the bottom of the map its latitude is 33 52 30. If the bottom was 33 THEN the midpoint would be 33.5. But instead, you need the midpoint between 33 52 30 and 34.

Ma'am I have doubt in terms of longitudes: 1.I agree with your statement that moving from point A to be B longitude value decreased so the object is moving west 2. But we cannot say whether the object is on east or west of prime meridian without sign, how did you say that object is on west of prime meridian? If the intial starting point was 117.5° and ending point was 117° then object could've been on any side (assuming i didn't mention sign)

@ruppertrocksgeology

Ай бұрын

Hello! Great question. Assuming north is "up" on your page, we know that when the longitude increases to the left it must be getting further away to the west from the prime meridian. When the longitude increases to the right it must be getting further away to the east from the prime meridian. They numbers keep getting bigger west and east of the prime meridian until they meet at 180 degrees which is both 180 degrees east and west of the prime meridian.

@ruppertrocksgeology

Hello! For Latitude you can think about how if you are at the center of the earth and point to the equator, and then use your other arm to point at the north or south pole you would form a right angle (90 degrees). If you are at the center of earth and point to the prime meridian you could swing your arm around 360 degrees to complete the whole circle. We could just go east and go from 1-259 degrees but instead we do east 1-180 and west 1-180 to complete the circle. But there are other ways you could do it. I hope that makes sense!

You can choose any shape for map boundaries, but when we talk about latitude and longitude it makes sense to use two vertical lines for longitude and two horizontal lines for latitude. I chose this shape because 7.5' maps are this shape at this latitude and longitude.
