Topic: Interpreting maps
KQ:2 How do geographers describe where things are.
They use relative location or exact location to be able to get from point a to point b as fast as possible
LO1: Define, Map, Scale, projection, meridian, longitude, parallel, latitude, prime meridian.
Map Scale: The distance on a map between 2 points.
Meridian: A circle that consists of purely longitude lines.
Longitude. The lines on the map going from northern hemisphere to Southern Hemisphere
Parallel: A set of lines that will never intersect at any point.
Latitude: The set of lines that go from the western and the eastern hemisphere
Prime Meridian: The vertical line that splits the earth into eastern and Western Hemisphere.
LO2: Understand the role of map scale and projection in interpreting maps.
Map scale can help determine the distance between two points in correlation to the map. For example it goes from 5000 feet to 500 feet.
