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.

Sun rises in the East and sets in the West.

Pole Star always points to the North.
