There are different types of maps that represent geographic information in various ways. Physical maps illustrate terrain features like mountains and rivers. Political maps show national borders and cities. Economic maps represent natural resources and industries. Climate maps provide climate and precipitation data. Road maps are used for planning trips as they show roads, cities, and other transportation details. When representing the spherical Earth on a flat map, areas and distances become distorted.

2. We can use:
 A globe
 A map

4. When we represent the Earth on a flat map, the areas are distorted.

5. When we represent the Earth on a flat map, the distances are also distorted.

6. There are different types of maps, such
as:
Political maps.
They indicate
state and
national
borders and
capital and
major cities.

7. Physical or relief maps.
They illustrate the
mountains, rivers and
lakes of an area. The
water is usually shown
in blue. Colors are used
to show relief
(differences in land
elevations). Green is
typically used at lower
elevations, and orange
or brown indicate
higher elevations.

8. Economic or resource maps.Economic or resource maps. They show info about natural resources or
economic activities.

9. Climate maps.
They give information
about the climate and
precipitation (rain and
snow) of a region.
Road maps. They show
major highways, roads, airports,
railroad tracks, cities and other
points of interest in an area.
People use road maps to plan
trips.

10. A scale says exactly how much distance is
represented by 1 cm, in this case, 8 km.
Scales are very useful for calculating
distances.
Let’s practise: http://mrnussbaum.com/map-scale/

11. They are imaginary horizontal lines. They go from east to west and help measure the
distance from the Equator in degrees north or south. The Equator is at 0° latitude.
0°
30°N
60°N
90°N
Can you find out the latitude of
Valladolid?
45°N
30°N
60°N

12. They are imaginary lines that go from North Pole to South Pole. They measure the
distance from the Prime Meridian or Greenwich Meridian in degrees east or west. The
Greenwich Meridian is at 0° longitude.
Can you find out the longitude of
Valladolid?
0°30°W60°W 60°E30°E
0° 15°E15°W 30°E
