Chapter: 17. Globes And Maps

⁠
An aerial view provides a comprehensive top-down perspective of the terrain, enabling the cartographer to accurately capture the overall shape, landforms, and features of the newly discovered island.
Green areas on a map typically represent lowlands and plains.
A map is drawn on a flat surface, while a globe is a round, spherical model of the Earth.
People in big cities now commonly use digital navigation systems or GPS (Global Positioning System) applications on devices like smartphones or car dashboards for navigation.
A map is usually drawn on paper or any flat surface.
The north direction is usually shown at the top of the map page, indicated by an arrow pointing north.
Deserts are depicted in yellow on a map.
A cartographer is a person who makes maps.
A globe is not easy to carry around and has to be very large to show small areas like a town or city in detail.
The ‘Green Earth’ sections in an atlas contain thematic maps that cover topics like threats to the environment, carbon footprints, and the impact of climate change on different countries.
A globe helps us to understand the actual spherical shape of the Earth and locate continents, countries, oceans, and different places.
The scale is usually shown at the bottom of the map.
Two specific kinds of maps are road maps and digital maps.
Maps can be drawn to show specific regions in great detail, allowing for the inclusion of more information like roads, buildings, and specific landmarks, unlike general globes.
A grid, with its numbered or alphabetized lines, helps to accurately pinpoint and locate places on a map.
The four intermediate directions are north-east, south-east, north-west, and south-west.
The purpose of a key or legend on a map is to explain what each of the symbols used in the map represents.
