Maps & Globes
Maps are great because they are FLAT and can go into ATLASES. They also can show whatever information you want to put on them.
Globes are nice because they are ACCURATE in their shape of the world. BUT terrible to carry around and EXPENSIVE

Parts of a Map
Absolute Location Latitude Longitude
Relative Location – Used to describe where a place is based on physical features or known places
A. Scale (Large and small scale maps) – used to show detail
B. Scale (used to measure distance)
C. Compass Rose (used to find orientation
D. Cardinal Directions (N, S, E, W)
E. Intermediate Directions (NE, NW, SE, SW)

Mental Maps
A. Mental maps are maps in your head that you use to:
A. Carry out daily activities
B. Give directions to others
C. Understand world events
A. Mental maps can be refined by:
A. Comparing sketch maps to maps in atlases
B. Describing the location of places in terms of reference points, geographic features, or human characteristics

Types of Maps Physical maps show
landforms and elevation
Political maps show human made features such as cities, countries and roads
Contour maps show elevation using isolines
Thematic maps show specific information (THEMES)

Map ProjectionsA. All maps are distorted or
inaccurate (shape, area, distance, direction)
B. Mercator – (square) – used by ship navigators – distorted by shape, area, and distance (Top is too big, middle is too small)
C. Polar – (round) – used by airline pilots because it shows shortest distance – distorted by area because it only shows one hemisphere
D. Robinson – (rounded edges) – used to compare data in atlases – distorted all 4 ways, but not terribly (compromise)
