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. | |
