Cartography is the study and practice of making maps. Latitude measures the location north or south of the equator from 0 to 90 degrees, while longitude measures the location east or west of the prime meridian from 0 to 360 degrees. Map scale defines the ratio of distances on a map to distances on the ground. The document then discusses the relevant measures of latitude and longitude for Earth and identifies the continents and subcontinents.

1. DEFINE : Cartography Latitude Longitude Map Scale 2. Establish the mythology to measure latitude , longitude and map scale 3. What are the most relevant measure of latitude and longitude for the earth? 4.Determine on the map continents and subcontinentes Answers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cartography : cartography is the study and practice of making geographical maps. Latitude: gives the location of a place on Earth north or south of the equator. Longitude: is the geographic coordinate most commonly used in cartography and global navigation for east-west measurement. Map Scale: is defined as the ratio of a distance on the map to the corresponding distance on the ground. If the region of the map is small enough for the curvature of the Earth to be neglected, then the scale may be taken as a constant ratio over the whole map. The latitude is measure between 0 to 90 digress , longitude is measure between 0 and 360 digress increasing to the eats of longitude 0 , between 0 and 180 digress indicating what belongs hemisphere , between 0 and 180 positive or negative eats west and map scale The latitude measure for the earth is 23 , 26 , 22 digress from north of the equator and the longitude measure … Continents : -north America - South America - Europe - Africa -Oceania Subcontinentes:
