Every map has a map key, map scale, and compass rose. Maps can be used to find exact locations. Coordinates, latitude, and longitude can be used to find exact locations. The equator and Prime Meridian divide our world into 4 hemispheres.

Why are charts, graphs, and grid systems used to gather information? How are charts, graphs, and grid systems used to gather and show information? How do we use charts, graphs, and grid systems to compare information? How does creating a chart, graph, and/or grid system help to portray information?
