| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| geoghraphy | study of the world around you |
| what is irelands national mapping agency called | ordinance survey ireland or osi |
| scale | the scale of a map is the ratio of the distance on the map to the corresponding distance on the ground |
| what is the only letter not used on a ordinance map | i |
| national grid what are the boxes called | subzones |
| subzones can be divided into ... | smaller squares measuring 1km by 1km but are origionally 100km by 100 km |
| eastings | vertical lines on ordinance survey maps giving coordinates. the numbers get higher the further you go east |
| northings | horizontal lines on ordinance survey maps also giving co ordinates . the numbers get higher the further you go north |
| LEN | L-letter of subzone E-easting N-northing |
| do we give the eastings over the northings | true a simple way to remember this is go in the door before you go upstairs |
| height | colour green represents lowland areas up to 200m as height increases colour changes to light cream to light brown to dark brown which indicates an upland areA |
| contours | lines on a map showing area of equal height the height in metres is written on them they are placed ten metres apart. the closer the lines the steeper the slope |
| triangulation pillars | these triangle shapes show where there is a concrete pillar used by map makers they are usually found on mountain peaks or hilltops. the height of the mountain is given in metres beside the triangle |
| spot heights | can be found anywhere on the map showing height in metres of a particular place.they are represented by a small black spot with a number beside it |
| summit heightss | this shows the height of the summit or peak in colour. the three different colours brown orange and green all inidcate what height the summit is |
| brown | above 600 |
| orange | 599-400 |
| green | below 400 |
| What are the four cardinal points of a compass? | A: North, South, East, West. |
| Q: What are the points between the cardinal points called? | A: Compass points (e.g. NE, SW, etc.). |
| what is a cardinal point | A cardinal point is one of the four main directions on a compass: |

| height | Colour – shows height by colour. Green = lowland (up to 200m). Changes from light cream → light brown → dark brown as it gets higher (upland). C |
| contours | Contours – lines on the map showing areas of equal height. Height in metres written on them. Placed 10 metres apart. The closer the lines, the steeper the slope. |
| triangulation pillars | Triangulation pillars – shown by a triangle. Mark where a concrete pillar used by mapmakers is on a mountain peak or hilltop. Height given in metres beside the triangle. |
| spot heights | Spot heights – small black spot with a number beside it. Shows the exact height in metres of a place. found anywhere on map |
| summit heightss | Summit heights – shows the height of a summit or peak in colour. Brown, orange, green = different height ranges. |
| brown | above 600 |
| orange | 599-400 |
| green | below 400 |
| What are the four cardinal points of a compass? | A: North, South, East, West. |
| Q: What are the points between the cardinal points called? | A: Compass points (e.g. NE, SW, etc.). |
| what is a cardinal point | A cardinal point is one of the four main directions on a compass: |
| sketch map pt 1 | Always use a pencil. Draw a frame (half the map’s width and height). Add a title: “Sketch map of ______ OS map”. Divide the OS map into eight sections with a ruler. Divide your sketch map into the same sections. |
| sketch map pt 2 | Add any major physical features (e.g. coastline). Only draw the features asked in the question. Draw a key/legend with symbols and colours. Add the north arrow (skip subzone if not needed). Rub out section lines and add colour. |
| bar chart | Write a title Draw the x-axis and y-axis. On the x-axis, mark how many groups you need (e.g. years). Label the x-axis On the y-axis, start at 0, choose units, Label the y-axis Draw bars with the same width and equal spacing. |
| top tips | Top Tips Remember SALT when drawing graphs: S = Scale on the axes A = Axes intervals even L = Label the axes T = Title the graph Bars must be the same width and have the same spacing. |
| trend graphs | show a trend or pattern for data over a period of time they can also show the realationships between two or more sets of data |
| trend graphs pt 1 | Title – Write a clear title for the graph. Axes – Draw an x-axis (horizontal) and a y-axis (vertical). X-axis – Decide the groups/time intervals to show (e.g. decades 2000–2050). Y-axis – Always start at 0. Choose the correct unit . |
| trend graphs pt 2 | Labels – Give the x-axis and y-axis proper titles Plot Data – Plot each set of data points for different groups (e.g. renewable energy, fossil fuels, total demand). Join Points – Connect the data points with a line to show the trend |
