What to Focus On
- A globe is a spherical model of the Earth.
- It is fixed on a tilted stand to show Earth's position in space.
- It can spin, just like the Earth rotates on its axis.
- Maps are flat drawings of the Earth or a part of it.
- They are easy to carry and show more details than globes.
- Colors and symbols are used to show different features.
- Political maps show boundaries of countries, states, and cities.
- Physical maps show natural features like mountains, rivers, and deserts.
- Physical maps use colors to show different landforms and water bodies.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
A map is just a flat version of a globe, so it shows everything exactly as it is.
The North on a map always means 'up' in real life.
A sketch is the same as a map.
Memory Tips
The Earth is spherical like a globe.
Four main directions: North, East, South, West.
