ES MAPS

UNIT ONE

QuestionAnswer
SCIENCE IF MAP MAKING CARTOGRAPHY
IMAGINAR LINE THAT SEPARATES THE EARTH INTO NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES EQUATOR
DISTANCE IN DEGREES NORTH OR SOUTH OF THE EQUATOR LATITUDE
DISTANCE IN DEGREES EAST AND WEST OF THE EQUATOR LONGITUDE
REFERENCE POINT FOR LONGITUDE THAT PASSES THROUGH GREENWICH, ENGLAND AND REPRESENTS 0 DEGREES PRIME MERIDAN
LOCATED HALFWAY BETWEEN THE NORTH AND SOUTH POLES EQUATOR
LINES THAT RUN PARALLEL TO THE EQUATOR LATITUDE
LATITUDE OF THE EQUATOR 0 DEGREES
LATITUDE OF THE SOUTH POLE 90 DEGREES SOUTH
ONE DEGREE OF LATITUDE IS EQUIVILEANT TO ABOUT WHAT ON THE EARTH'S SURFACE? 111 km
EACH DEGREE OF LATITUDE IS DIVIDED INTO 60 MINUTES
LINES OF LONGITUDE ARE ALSO CALLED MERIDANS
THE PRIME MERIDAN IS A REFERENCE POINT FOR ... LONGITUDE
POINTS EAST OF THE PRIME MERIDAN ARE LABELED BETWEEN 0 AND 180 DEGREES EAST LONGITUDE
SEMICIRCLES BETWEEN THE NORTH AND SOUTH POLE LINES OF LONGITUDE
WHERE DO ALL MERIDIANS CONVERGE AT THE POLES
HOW MANY TIME ZONES IS THE EARTH DIVIDED INTO 24
APPROXIMATELY HOW WIDE IS EACH TIME ZONE 15 DEGREES
WHERE IS THE INTERNATIONAL DATELINE LOCATED 180 DEGREES MERIDAN
WHEN YOU TRAVEL EAST ACROSS THE INTERNATIONAL DATELINE YOU ADVANCE YOUR CALENDER BY 1 DAY
USE OF ROAD AND WEATHER MAPS CONIC
HAS PARALLEL LINES OF LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE MERCATOR
MADE BY PROJECTING POINTS AND LINES FROM A GLOBE ONTO A PIECE OF PAPER THAT TOUCHES THE GLOBE AT A SINGLE POINT GNOMIC
DOSTORTS DIRECTION AND DISTANCE BETWEEN LANDMASSES GNOMIC
THAT EXAGGERATES THE AREAS OF LANDMASSES NEAR THE POLES, BUT CORRECTLY SHOWS THEIR SHAPE MERCATOR
MAP MADE BY PROJECTING POINTS AND LINES FROM A GLOBE ONTO A CONE CONIC
HAS VERY LITTLE DISTORTION IN THE AREAS OF SHAPES OF LANDMASSES THAT FALL ALONG A CERTAIN LINE OF LATITUDE CONIC
USED BY NAVIGATORS TO PLOT GREAT CIRCLE ROUTES GNOMIC
MAPS THAT SHOW CHANGES IN ELEVATION OF EARTH'S SURFACE ARE CALLED TOPOGRAPHIC
POINTS OF EQUAL ELEVATION ON A TOPOGRAPHIC MAP ARE CALLED CONTOUR LINES
THE DIFFERENCE IN THE ELEVATION OF 2 SIDE BY SIDE ELEVATION LINES IS CALLED THE CONTOUR INTERVAL
CONTOUR LINES MARKED BY A NUMBER ARE CALLED INDEX CONTOURS
CONTOUR LINES INDICATING DEPRESSIONS HACHURES
EXPLAINS THE SYMBOLS ON THE MAP MAP LEGEND
MEASURE OF DISTANCE ON A MAP MAP SCALE
DISTANCE ON A MAP EXPRESSED, SUCH AS ONE CENTIMETER IS EQUAL TO ONE KILOMETER VERBAL SCALE
LINE THAT REPRESENTS A CERTAIN UNIT OF DISTANCE, SUCH AS 5km GRAPHIC DISTANCE
EXPRESSES DISTANCE ON A MAP AS A RATIO, SUCH AS 1:63 500 FRACTIONAL SCALE

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
