The document discusses different types of maps, including road maps, weather and climate maps, grid maps, physical maps, and political maps. Road maps show highways, roads, and points of interest to help with trip planning and directions. Climate maps provide information about precipitation and climate in a region. Weather maps depict weather patterns in cities and countries. Grid maps use a letter-number system to locate places within a grid. Physical maps illustrate landforms, elevation, bodies of water, and borders. Political maps focus on boundaries and major cities without physical features.
This presentation will help our young geographers who are on the verge of understanding geographical skills and how do different maps help them to understand different features of the Earth and the area where they live.

Paper presented in the research methodology workshop. The error if any is regretted and suggestions most welcome. Good for students and researchers alike, enjoy.
Presentation suitable for Year 9 Geography, first lesson of map skills: definition of the maps, types of maps, political map, physical map, weather map, aerial map, resources map, road map, climatic map and topographic map. Examples from New Zealand.
Map is a drawn or printed representation of the physical features of the Earth.
It is the best tool to show, understand and analyse the features of an area. Cartography is the art and science of making maps. This module highlights many information on maps, types and their uses.

Grade - 6 - Social Science, Geography Chapter 4. Map Reading
A globe is a spherical model of Earth, of some other celestial body, or of the celestial sphere.
Globes serve purposes similar to some maps, but unlike maps, do not distort the surface that they portray except to scale it down.
A model globe of Earth is called a terrestrial globe.
2. You can look in an atlas to find different kinds of maps. An atlas is a book that has maps of the world, continents, countries, states, etc. Here are some different types of maps: Road maps: show major, some minor highways and roads, airports, railroad tracks, cities and other points of interest in an area. People use road maps to plan trips and for driving directions. Above is a road map of Maspeth, NY. It is located in the Borough of Queens. It shows major highways (278 & Long Island Expressway) and minor roadways (Queens Blvd & Northern Blvd)
3. Weather & Climate Maps Weather maps- show weather patterns in cities, states, countries, etc.
4. Climate Maps- give general information about the climate and precipitation (rain and snow) of a region.
5. Grid Map Grid Map- a map in which a grid, or set of squares, is used to locate places. Each location uses a letter and a number on the grid. A3, D4
6. Physical Maps Physical maps- show country borders, major cities and significant bodies of water. Physical maps also show the location of landforms like deserts, mountains, plains, rivers and lakes. These types of landfoms are not included on political maps. The water is usually shown in blue. Colors are used to show differences in land elevations. Green is typically used at lower elevations, and orange or brown indicate higher elevations.Let's look at a physical map.

8. Political Maps Political maps- do not show physical features. Instead, they show state and national boundaries and capital and major cities. A capital city is usually marked with a star within a circle. Political maps usually include significant bodies of water.Think about what you saw on the physical map, and now look at the same countries on the political map.

10. So we have learned that…. Road maps- show major, some minor highways and roads, airports, railroad tracks, cities and other points of interest in an area. People use road maps to plan trips and for driving directions. Climate Maps- give general information about the climate and precipitation (rain and snow) of a region. Weather maps- show weather patterns in cities, states, countries, etc. Grid Map- a map in which a grid, or set of squares, is used to locate places.
