Compass Rose►A compass is a tool that helps the user know what direction one is headed.
►On a map, a compass rose helps the user locate these directions.

Scale
►Maps are made to scale; that is, there is a direct ratio between a unit of measurement on the map and the actual distance.
►For example, each inch on the map represents one mile on Earth. So, a map of a town would show a mile-long strip of fast food places and auto dealerships in one inch.

Time Zones
►The Earth is divided into 24 time zones, corresponding to 24 hours in a day.
►As the earth rotates, the sun shines in different areas, moving from east to west during the course of a day.
►Places that have the same longitude will be in the same time zone.
