This document defines key terms related to maps, including globes, cartography, and different types of maps. It explains that a globe is a spherical object with an map of the earth, while a map is a flat representation. Cartography is the study of map making, and a cartographer is someone who makes maps. It then lists common types of maps like climate, physical, political, and topographic maps. The rest of the document provides details on the components of maps, such as titles, keys, directions, grid lines, scales, and the equator which divides the northern and southern hemispheres.

object shaped
like a ball with
the map of the
earth on it.
A map is a
drawing of the

6. Political map

7. 1.Title: is the heading of map
2.Symbol:sign used to show actual things on a map
Key/Legend: brief description of symbols
3.Direction: The position toward which someone move
The four principal directional indicators are marked as points on a
traditional magnetic compass rose.
Called cardinal directions
They are north east south & west
Which are further divided in to northeast , southeast , north west ,
southwest

8. 4. Grid lines: imaginary lines on the earth’s surface
Imaginary lines
Run between north & south on
the globe
Tell the distance east & west from
the prime meridian
360 lines on the globe
180 lines to the east
180 lines to the west
Imaginary lines
Run east & west on the globe
They are parallels
Tell the distance north & south
equator

9. 5. Scale: A map scale compares distance of the map to the
actual distance on the earth’s surface
Scale statement:
1cm on the map represents
5 km on the ground
Line scale:
A line several centimeters long
is divided into equal parts ;
Ratio fraction -1 cm =500 cm

10. It is imaginary line drawn midway between north &
south poles . It is marked 0 degree. It divided the Earth
into equal halves
Northern hemisphere:
All of north America , the
northern regions of south
America , some parts of Africa
All of Asia and Europe.
Southern hemisphere:
Most of south America , some
parts of Africa , all of Antarctica
And Australia .
