11 Unit 1: Maps and globes 2. How do we determine position and measure actual distances on a map? 2.3 Coordinates What is a coordinate? Coordinates is the intersection of a longitude and latitude. It is used to get the precise position of a location on a map How are coordinates measured? A place's coordinates are measured in... degrees ( ), minutes (') and seconds ('') In 1 degree there are 60 minutes In 1 minute there are 60 seconds. 11

21 Unit 1: Maps and globes 2. How do we determine position and measure actual distances on a map? 2.4 Different types of scales What is a scale? A scale shows the size of an area in relation to the actual size Type of scales The verbal method This is a statement Example: 1cm = 8km It means that 1cm which is on the map is equal to 8km in actual distance.. 21

4 Different types of scales The Graphic Method depicts scale using a line, with

22 Unit 1: Maps and globes 2. How do we determine position and measure actual distances on a map? 2.4 Different types of scales The Graphic Method depicts scale using a line, with separations marked by smaller intersecting lines, similar to a ruler. By measuring the distance between two objects on a map, and then referring to the graphic scale 22

23 Unit 1: Maps and globes 2. How do we determine position and measure actual distances on a map? 2.4 Different types of scales The Fractional Method uses a representative fraction to describe the ration between the map, and the real world. In this example 1 unit of distance on the map represents 50,000 of the same units of distance in the real world. 23

24 Unit 1: Maps and globes 2. How do we determine position and measure actual distances on a map? 2.5 Measure the actual distance of two places on a map, in km or m. What is distance? Distance is the length of the space between two points. Straight line distance or Crooked line distance Straight-line distances can be measured with a ruler Crooked line distances should be measured with a paper strip. 24

25 Unit 1: Maps and globes 2. How do we determine position and measure actual distances on a map? 2.5 Measure the actual distance of two places on a map, in km or m. How do I determine the distance between two places? Formula vir km: Distance (mm) x Map Scale Formula vir m: Distance (mm) x Map Scale 1000 BV. The distance between two places is 55mm. How far in (a) km and (b) m are they apart? The map scale is 1:

26 ANSWERS OF FORMULA SLIDE: (DISTANCE between two places on a map) a. Distance (mm) x Map Scale = 55 x = 2.75km 26

27 ANSWERS OF FORMULA SLIDE: (DISTANCE between two places on a map) b. Distance (mm) x Map Scale 1000 = 55 x = 2750m 27

28 DISTANCE between two places on a map: Homework a. The distance between two places on a map is 65mm. What is the actual distance in km? The map scale is 1: b. The distance between two places on a map is 65mm. What is the actual distance in m? The map scale is 1: c. The distance between two places on a map is 30mm. What is the actual distance in km? The map scale is 1: d. The distance between two places on a map is 80mm. What is the actual distance in m? The map scale is 1:

29 DISTANCE between two places on a map: Homework Answers 1) distance (mm) X map scale 3) distance (mm) X map scale = 65 mm X = 55 mm X = 3,25 km = 2,75 km 2) distance (mm) X map scale 4) distance (mm) X map scale = 65 mm X = 80 mm X = 3250 m = 4000m 29

39 Unit 2: The Globe 5. What is the value of satellite images? 5.1 Information of different satellite images. Political Maps: It instead focuses solely on the state and national boundaries of a place. They also include the locations of cities - both large and small Physical Map: A physical map is one that shows the physical landscape features of a place. They generally show things like mountains, rivers and lakes, etc. Climate Map: shows information about the climate of an area. Topographic Map: They are different however because they use contour lines instead of colors to show changes in the landscape. Contour lines on topographic maps are normally spaced at regular intervals to show elevation changes (e.g. each line represents a 100 foot (30 m) elevation change) and when lines are close together the terrain is steep. 39
