Cartography involves making maps and using key geographic concepts like latitude, longitude, and map scale. Latitude ranges from 0 to 90 degrees north and south of the equator, while longitude extends from 0 to 360 degrees east and west of the Greenwich meridian. Map scale relates distances on a map to actual distances on earth. The most relevant lines for latitude and longitude are the equator, tropics, Arctic and Antarctic circles. The major continents are North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Antarctica, Australia, and Asia, with subcontinents including Indian, European, and West Asian regions.

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 Find the scale for the map you're going to use - it might be a ruler-looking bar scale or a written scale, in words or numbers. the most relevant measure of latitude and longitude for the earth are : -Greenwich meridian -tropic cancer -equator -antartic circle -artic circle Continents : -north America - South America - Europe - Africa -Oceania Subcontinents: - Indian subcontinent. -Europe - West Asian - unites states
