Topography is the study of the shape and features of land surfaces. Longitude is the measurement of the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian, measured in degrees.
Latitude and longitude are used to pinpoint locations on the Earth's surface. Maps and atlases can be used to locate and identify geographical features, and to visualize relationships between places and features.
The Prime Meridian is the line of longitude that circles the Earth at 0 degrees, dividing the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. The Equator is the line of latitude that circles the Earth at 0 degrees, dividing the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
A map legend is a key or explanatory table that identifies and explains the symbols and colors used on a map. A map scale is the ratio between the distance on a map and the actual distance on the ground, represented as a numerical fraction or bar scale.

What is a physical map?

 

A topographic map is a map that shows the shape and features of the Earth's surface in detail, including elevation, landforms, bodies of water, and vegetation. A contour line is a line on a map that connects points of equal elevation, used to indicate the shape and steepness of terrain.
A geographic coordinate system is a system of latitude and longitude that is used to specify the location of any point on the Earth's surface. A compass rose is a diagram on a map that shows the directions of North, South, East, and West.
A physical map is a map that shows the natural features of the Earth's surface, such as mountains, rivers, and deserts.
