an alphabetical list of words, objects or places with page numbers, usually found at
the back of a book, to help you find that item in a book
an Index
A street map has two features to help you find things:
˜ grid lines drawn on the maps to form grid squares
˜ an index at the back.
The point where the
streets cross each other is called
an intersection.
vertical and horizontal lines drawn on a map in a grid shape.
Grid lines:
the squares (sometimes rectangles) on a map formed by grid lines
Grid squares:
using numbers and letters on the grid lines to refer to a specific place on a
Grid reference:
rough drawing that looks like a map.
Sketch map:
Most maps contain four conventions to make them easier to use. The conventions are:
- A title
- A map key and symbols
- A scale
- A north direction arrow and the four cardinal points
a watch that tells the time with hands
Analogue Watch:
Dividing an angle in two equal parts
Bisecting
What would you find in the central of a town?
Shops, banks, post office, hotel
Why would you find agriculture away from town?
There is more space / larger land
Describe what a residential area is and where would you find it.
Residential area is an area where there are lots of houses where people live.
You would find it surrounding the central of town. (close to shops, etc)
Describe what an industrial area is and where you would find it?
An industrial area is where manufacturing takes place in factories.
You would find it away from the residential area and central town but still close enough to travel as people would need to travel their to work.
What is a word scale.
It states and explains what the scale on a map is.
Eg. One cm represents 1 km
Explain the word “direct”
Going straight from one place to another on the shortest route
Explain what a “large scale map” is
a map where the area has been scaled down less.
Smaller features of an area will be shown on a large scale map.
an example is a street map of a suburb or a map of the school.
a scale might be 1cm represents 100m
Explain what a small scale map is
a map which shows a larger area and therefore has been scaled down a lot.
small scale maps will have less detail and will not show street names.
an example is a map of South Africa
A scale might be 1cm represents 100km
How would you measure the actual distance of places when reading a map of a route that is not direct or the roads are curved.
By laying a piece of string on the roads on the map and measuring the string.
a rough calculation or a good guess of the amount or value of something.
Estimate:
lines drawn on a map that show degrees north or south of the Equator.
Lines of latitude
lines drawn on a map that show degrees east or west of the Prime meridian,
which is the zero degree line
lines of longitude
When you give a reference for a place, you always start with the number of degrees ____________________, then the number of degrees __________
north or south
West or east
What are the layers of the earth?
The Crust
The Mantle
The Outer and Inner Core
