Why Use Trip on a Latitude Line
Students who understand geography and climate begin to understand
how different cultures develop around the world. Landforms, bodies
of water, the Sun, and Earth's tilt all affect the climate of a
place and how different people live—from what they eat to how they
dress. Students read about how the world is full of variety—even
along the same latitude line.
