Gives details about maps, projections,their uses and also about data presentation. Made for students for 11th and 12th standard. Also helpful for competitive examinations. This file is made from NCERT books of class 11th and 12th books titled "Practical work in Geography"
A map is a symbolic depiction emphasizing relationships between elements of some space, such as objects, regions, or themes. Many maps are static, fixed to paper or some other durable medium, while others are dynamic or interactive.
How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
1. Draw a map from your home to one of your
favorite places. Clearly label all landmarks and
include information that might be useful to
someone using the map.
3. By the end of this section, you should be able to:
Explain how a magnetic compass can be used to find
directions on Earth.
Explain the difference between true north and magnetic
north.
Compare latitude and longitude.
Explain how latitude and longitude are used to locate
places on Earth.
4. A map is a representation of the features of a physical
body such as Earth.
The Greeks thought of Earth as a sphere almost 2,000
years before Columbus sailed in 1492.
Around 240 BCE, Greek mathematician Eratosthenes
calculated the circumference of the Earth. His calculation
was wrong by only 6,250 km.
5. A reference point is a fixed place on the Earth’s surface
from which direction and location can be described. The
North and South Poles are used as reference points on the
Earth.
Cardinal directions are the directions north, south, east,
and west. Using cardinal directions is more precise than
using directions such as “right” or “left.”
6. A compass is a tool that uses the
natural magnetism of the Earth to show
direction. A compass needle points to
the magnetic north pole.
Earth has two different sets of poles—
the geographic poles and the magnetic
poles.
7. Magnetic declination is measured in degrees east or west
of true north. Magnetic declination has been determined
for different points on the Earth’s surface, as shown below.
8.
9. Latitude is the distance north or south of the equator. The
equator is a circle halfway between the North and South
Poles that divides the Earth into the Northern and
Southern Hemispheres.
Lines of latitude are parallel to the equator.
Latitude is expressed in degrees.
10. Longitude is the distance east and west of the prime
meridian. The prime meridian is the line that represents 0º
longitude. It runs from the North Pole, through Greenwich,
England, to the South Pole.
Lines of longitude are not parallel. They touch at the poles
and are farthest apart at the equator.
Longitude is also expressed in degrees.
11.
12. Lines of latitude and lines of longitude cross and form a
grid system on globes and maps. This grid system can be
used to find locations on the Earth’s surface.
14. What is similar and what is different?
Write three possible uses for each map.
Write three improvements that could be made to
each map.
15. By the end of this section, you should be able to:
Explain why maps of the Earth show distortion.
Describe four types of map projections.
Identify five pieces of information that should be shown on
a map.
Describe four methods modern mapmakers use to make
accurate maps.
16. A map is a flat representation of the Earth’s curved surface.
When you move information from a curved surface to a
flat surface, you lose some accuracy.
Changes called distortions happen in shapes and sizes of
landmasses and oceans on map. Direction and distance
can also be distorted.
17. Mapmakers use map projections to move the image of
Earth’s curved surface onto a flat surface.
To understand how map projections are made, think of a
translucent globe that has a light inside. If you hold a
piece of paper against the globe, shadows of marks on the
globe appear on the paper.
18. The way the paper is held against the globe determines
the kind of map projection that is made.
19. A cylindrical projection is a map projection that is made by
moving the surface features of the globe onto a cylinder.
The most common cylindrical projection is called a
Mercator projection.
20. A Mercator projection is accurate near the equator, but
areas near the poles look wider and longer on the map
than they look on the globe.
21. A conic projection is a map projection that is made by
moving the surface features of the globe onto a cone. The
cone touches the globe at each line of longitude but at
only one line of latitude.
22. There is no distortion along the line of latitude where the
globe touches the cone. Areas near this line of latitude are
distorted less than other areas are.
23. An azimuthal projection is a map projection that is made
by moving the surface features of the globe onto a plane.
The plane touches the globe at only one point.
24. The point of contact is usually one of the poles. There is
little distortion at the point of contact. However, distortion
increases as you move away from the point of contact.
25. A map projection that shows the area between latitude
and longitude lines the same size as that area on a globe
is called an equal-area projection.
26. The shapes of the continents and oceans are distorted on
equal-area projections. However, these projections are
good for determining distance.
27. Maps should have a title, a compass rose, a scale, a
legend, and a date.
Unfortunately, not all maps have all this information. The
more of this information a map has, the more reliable the
map is.
28.
29. Remote sensing is a way to collect information about
something without physically being there.
Remote sensors on satellites gather data about energy
coming from Earth’s surface and send the data back to
receiving stations on Earth.
30. Radar is a tool that uses waves of energy to map Earth’s
surface.
Radar Mapping Venus
31. The global positioning system (GPS) is a system of orbiting
satellites that send radio signals to receivers on Earth. The
receivers calculate latitude, longitude, and elevation.
32.
33. A geographic information systems (GIS) is a computerized
system that allows a user to enter different types of
information about an area.
35. Imagine that you are standing on the top of Campbell Hill.
Describe what you see in each direction.
36. By the end of this section, you should be able to:
Explain how contour lines show elevation and landforms
on a map.
Explain how the relief of an area determines the contour
interval used on a map.
List the rules of contour lines.
37. A topographic map is a map that shows surface features,
or topography, of the Earth. Topographic maps show
natural and human-made features.
Topographic maps also show elevation. Elevation is the
height of an object above sea level. The elevation at sea
level is 0.
38.
39. Contour lines are lines that connect points of equal
elevation. Topographic maps use contour lines to show
elevation.
Contour interval is the difference in elevation between one
contour line and the next.
40. Relief is the difference in elevation between the highest
and lowest points of the area being mapped. Relief is used
to determine the contour interval of a map.
41. The spacing of contour lines indicate slope. Contour lines
that are close together show a steep slope. Contour lines
that are far apart show a gentle slope.
42. An index contour is a darker, heavier line that is usually
every fifth line and that is labeled by elevation.
43. Topographic maps use symbols to represent parts of the
Earth’s surface. Colors are also used to represent features.
For example, cities and towns are pink, bodies of water are
blue, and wooded areas are green
44.
45.
46. Contour lines never cross.
The spacing of contour lines depends on slope
characteristics.
Contour lines that cross a valley or stream are V-shaped.
Contour lines form closed circles around the tops of hills,
mountains, and depressions.
