The document provides guidance on map skills revision for an exam, including:
- Understanding OS maps at scales of 1:25,000 and 1:50,000
- Using 4-figure and 6-figure grid references
- Measuring distances on maps using scales
- Identifying land uses, relief, drainage and other features from maps
- Interpreting aerial photographs and relating them to OS maps
Sample exam questions are provided testing these skills, such as describing land uses in different areas and comparing relief between grid squares.

Differentiation between Global and Local Datum from Different aspect
Spatial professionals are required to deal with an increasingly wide range
of positioning information obtained from various sources including
terrestrial surveying, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)
observations and online GNSS processing services. These positions refer
to a multitude of local, national, and global datums. A clear understanding
of the different coordinate reference systems and datums in use today and
the appropriate transformations between these are therefore essential to
ensure rigorous consideration of reference frame variations to
produce high-quality outcomes in spatial data analysis tasks.

Cartography is the art, science and technology of map making.
Maps are used as research tools and as sources of information.
Maps have existed since the time of the Egyptian, Mesopotamian and Chinese civilizations, with the latter maps dating back to 6000 years.
GEOGRAPHIC SKILLS: CHOROPLETH MAPS.
A choropleth map is a thematic map in which areas are shaded or patterned in proportion to the measurement of the statistical variable being displayed on the map, such as population density or per-capita income.
This PPT gives a brief description about Geomatics, the disciplines and techniques constituting Geomatics, Geographic Information System or GIS, GIS data (Spatial Data and Non- Spatial Data), GIS data models, GIS application in Petroleum Exploration, Coordinate System, Geodetic Datum and ArcGIS.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

9. USING A MAP KEY Ordnance survey maps use a series of symbols to indicate features of the landscape. In the examination you will be given a key to the symbols. This is exactly the same as the one you now have in front of you. Study this lots at home. You are not expected to know it off be heart but a good general understanding of some of the key features will help you save time in the exam. Take care with the following symbols that are often confused. Look at your symbol key now
19. COMPASS DIRECTIONS The minimum you should know is the eight point compass although it would be better to know the 16 point compass shown here.
20.
21.
22. Step 2 Repeat this process until you reach your destination
23. Step 3 You should be left with a series of marks along the edge of your paper. You can now place the sheet against the scale bar on your map. The last mark you made will tell you the real distance you need to travel
27. RELIEF My goodness, I am quite RELIEVED I got to the top Relief means the height and shape of the land. I like to remember it by thinking about how relieved I am when I get to the top. – This associates it with land height and shape. Take care with the spelling though.
28. DRAINAGE This is the surface water features such as:- Rivers – drawn as blue line but not to be confused with motorways!!! Lakes – Looks like a large blue puddle Marsh-
29. VEGETATION This includes the obvious green wooded areas but look out for which means rough grassland. On the OS 1:25 000 map vegetation is shown in more detail – check the symbols key carefully Rough Grassland Coniferous Trees Non Coniferous Trees
32. LAND USE When asked what the land use is you must explain what the land is USED for. In this case depending on which grid square you can see a variety of land uses e.g. a golf course, residential areas, lakes used for recreation, Roads, Allotments and many more.
33. SETTLEMENT This includes:- Its location – Where is it? Its shape – (linear, star shaped, nucleated) Its pattern – (nucleated, dispersed or evenly spread)
34. PATTERNS OF COMMUNICATION This includes:- Canals Railways Roads don’t forget to know the difference between A roads, Motorways, B Roads, Rough Tracks. Look at your OS key carefully
44. ANALYSING AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS As well as Ordnance Survey maps you will also be given a photograph of part of the area shown on an OS map. The first thing to do is make sure you orientate your photograph correctly so you know exactly which part of the map is shown. Lets do this now for Reading What are the key points to look at?
45. Y X Z Look for key features on the map to find out where it is on the OS map then use the OS map to identify the features. For this example the stadium is easy to see as is the roads and shape of the fields

48. A CHECK LIST TO HELP YOU TO DESCRIBE FEATURES ON A MAP
49. Includes settlement, vegetation and communications but also industry, recreational areas and agriculture Site – height, slope, landform, water supply, resources Situation – relate site to relief and drainage and other settlements Route focus, bridging point Shape – linear or star shaped, dispersed, nucleated Land Use Settlement Types, Direction Landforms followed or avoided Influence of settlement Woodland – location, amount, plantations or natural woodland Rough Pasture – location, amount Communications Vegetation Number of rivers Direction of flow Width Straight or winding Tributaries Human influence – straightening Lakes, marshes or floodplains Contour patterns Landforms Steepness of slopes Heights (general height, maximum, lowers) Valleys – number, shape, gradient, Drainage Relief
53. Dot Maps Dot maps show the distribution of actual numbers of items. In geography they are Mainly used to show population distribution. Above one dot equals 1 million people. The map overall gives a good impression of the world population distributions but it is difficult to obtain accurate figures.
54. Rules of the Choropleth map 1. Only use one colour to show differences in intensity or density This is a good example however it is very difficult to carry it so one alternative may be hatching WHAT IS A CHOROPLETH MAP?
55.
56.
57. Try Cross Hatching If you don’t have 3 different colour blues varying greatly in shade from dark to light use the cross hatching technique to show density ANSWERS DON’T FORGET THE KEY IT’S WORTH 2 MARKS!
