BASIC COMPONENTS OF MAPS

Page 4: MAPS ► What ism a map? ► Maps are a visual representation of the Earth’s surface, drawn to scale and made for a specific purpose.

LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE

► What are the imaginary parallel lines that circle the earth called? Lines of Latitude

► Which direction do these parallels circle the earth? East and West

► 0° Latitude is known as what? the Equator

► Why is this important? It serves a reference to

measure latitude.

LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE

► What are the imaginary lines that run from the North Pole to the South Pole called? Lines of Longitude

► What is the central line of longitude called? the Prime Meridian

► Why is the Prime Meridian important? It serves a reference to

measure longitude.

►What does scale tell us? How the map size compares to the real size of the

area in the map.

SCALE

► What is the name of the line on the globe to the left? What does it do? The Equator; It divides the globe into Northern and Southern Hemispheres

► What is the name of the line on the globe to the right? What does it do? The Prime Meridian; It divides the globe into Eastern and Western Hemispheres

HEMISPHERES, CONTINENTS, AND OCEANS

► How many continents are shown on the map? Seven

► What are their names? North America South America Europe Africa

HEMISPHERES, CONTINENTS, AND OCEANS

Asia Australia Antarctica

► How many oceans are shown on the map? Four

►Your assignment is to create a map of your choosing. Examples: A room @ your home, your home, a

classroom of yours, etc.

►Your map should include the following features: An appropriate Title A compass rose (Orientation) The Date the map was created Your Name (Author) A Legend or Key
