This document discusses different types of maps and how they represent the Earth. It describes globes as spheres that match the shape of the Earth, while maps are flat representations. Wall maps show continents and oceans, while atlases are books of maps. The document also discusses imaginary lines like the Equator that divide the world, as well as cardinal directions on compasses. Different types of maps are explained, such as relief maps that show terrain and political maps that indicate country borders. Street maps locate streets and landmarks, while plans depict rooms and buildings to scale.

What’s a compass? What are the cardinal points?

7. The cardinal points
What’s a compass? What are the cardinal points?
A compass has a face that shows the cardinal points: north
(N), east (E), south (S) and west (W).
A compass has a needle. This needle is a magnet and the red
end always points north. We can use a compass, together with a
map, to find our way.

What types of maps are there?
Relief map: shows
high land and low
land. It also shows
rivers.
Political map:
shows the borders
of a country and its
different regions.
Road map: uses
different colours
for different
types of roads.

10. Types of maps
What’s the scale of a map?

11. Types of maps
What’s the scale of a map?
Maps are smaller representations of a place, so they have a scale,
We measure the distance on the map between two places. Then we
can calculate the real distance.

Street map Plan

14. Street maps and plans
Street map:shows the position of the
streets, squares, parks and the most
important buildings and places. Street
maps are divided into squares and
have symbols for important places.
They also have a scale.

15. Street maps and plans
Plans: represent a room or a
building. It shows the position
and size of the furniture or the
rooms. It also has a scale.
