MAPS,GLOBE AND ATLAS

3. GLOBES
• A globe is a small-scale three
dimensional MODEL OF THE EARTH.
• It is mounted on an axis so that it
can be rotated freely just like an
earth.
• The line of latitude and longitude
are drawn on it.

4. • On an outline map of world draw a line on a
prime meridian.
• Fold the map from this line
• Tear your map into two pieces.
• Now paste the from other end.
• What is your observation now?

6. AVTIVITY -2
MAKE YOUR GLOBE
Making a globe is a fun challenge
Students can learn that how the curvature
Of the Earth is difficult to reproduce on a flat piece
Of paper which features of the Earth may distorted
While these are placed on the flat paper

7. ADVANTAGE AND DISADVANTAGE OF GLOBE
flattened at the poles and
bulging at the equator.
• Bulky and can not be stored easily
• Shows exact shape of the
earth- spherical slightly
• The shape of continents and
oceans are shown accurately.
• The different physical features
are also marked more or less
accurately.
• It can not show the details of
landforms and location of small
towns.
• It can not provide detail information
about climate, vegetation agriculture
etc.
• Although larger globes show some
details they are difficult to carry and
handle

8. Globe is a spherical representation of a
Earth.
Limitations:
• Three dimensional
• Difficult to carry.
• Gives limited information.
That why we need maps.

9. MAP
• A map is a essential tool of a
geographer.
• It is a representation of the earth as
whole or part of the earth drawn on a
flat surface.
• It can show continents courtiers cities
and even a local area with all details

10.  Spatial thinking : Identifying, analyzing, and understanding the location, scale,
patterns, and trends and their relation to each other.
 Spatial thinking allows students to comprehend and analyze phenomena
related to the places and spaces around them.
Spatial thinking and map skills in students

11. • To represent a larger area on a small piece of paper.
• To show a phenomenon or process we can’t see with our eyes
• To present information concisely
• To enhance map skills.
• For better understanding of location and global relationship.
OBJECTIVES

12. • To understand map language, i.e., cardinal
directions, map symbols & scale.
• To identify location of continent and oceans in
reference to hemisphere and directions.
• To correlate different political, geographical,
cultural and economic aspects.

13. PAPYRUS
• Its not a new phenomenon and has been practiced since the ancient times.
• They were made from animal skin parchment papyrus and clay tablets

14. • The science of map making is called as
CARTOGRAPHY (Carte- in French
means “MAP” graphic- DRAWING).
• A person who draws map is called as
CARTOGRAPHER.
• Cartographer show the curved surface
of the earth on a flat map is known as
MAP PROJECTION.

15. TYPES
OF
MAPS
POLITICAL MAPS
PHYSICAL MAP
TOPOGRAPHICAL MAP
OR CONTOUR MAP
CLIMATIC MAP
TOURIST MAP
THEMATIC MAP

16. POLITICALMAPS
Shows the boundaries
of administrative units
such as countries,
state and district
Different types of
boundary are shown
with different symbols

17. PHYSICAL
MAP
Shows the landforms and
the water bodies on the
earth surface such as
mountain, plateaus plains,
rivers lakes, sea etc.

18. Climatic map
• Shows weather condition like
temperature, pressure wind
direction and rainfall

19. Thematic map
• Shows the distribution of
forest, crops, minerals and
vegetation.

20. Topographical map shows
a great details of both
man made and natural
features with the help of
conventional symbols
Imaginary line joining
place above the mean
sea level is known as
CONTOUR
All over the world it is
used by geographers,
geologist defense
personal and
surveyors

21. • A map how ever has a disadvantages.
• A flat map can not accurately show the
curved surface of the earth.
• When a map is drawn the shape and size
get distorted.
• The maximum distortion occurs in the
region of poles and less at equatorial
region.

22. USES OF
MAP
Easy to handle and can
carry everywhere
Provides lots of
information for planning
such a road residential
complex's etc.
It is useful to sailors,
pilots miners engineers
etc..
Army depend on maps
for information

23. SKETCH Very often people give
directions to a
particular place by
making a rough drawing
to show the route.
This includes landmarks
and name of the street.
Such diagram is called as
sketch.
Rough map is drawn
without any scale,
conventional sign and
symbol, directions and
distance.

24. PLA
N
DETAILED DRAWING OF A
SMALLAREA
PLAN SHOWS A SMALL
AREA ON A LARGE SCALE
EG- INTERIOR OF HOUSE ,
AN OFFICE BUILDING OR
EVEN YOUR CLASS ROOM
MAP SHOWS A LARGE
AREA ON A SMALL SCALE

25. A compass is a tool to tell directions of north , south, east ,west, which are designated on a map using
A compass rose
A compass rose ,a drawing showing different directions on a map, it is usually found somewhere
on the edge of a map . It shows the four cardinal directions, which are north south east west .
On the most paper maps north points up and south points down ,east point right and west point left
If you go clockwise around the compass rose , use the mnemonic “ Never Eat Soggy Waffles”
to remember the order of first initial of the words

Space. We use the word atlas to describe a book of maps because they hold the world
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
An Atlas is a collection of maps it is typically a map of Earth or a region of Earth. It enables comparisons
Between maps in order to recognise correlations between them
Atlas provide extra information about the maps, as it contains extra information
For example if you are looking at an atlas of stars and planets,
there may be information about the different constellations
