GLOBE AND MAP
This document discusses maps and globes. It explains that a globe is a 3D representation of the entire world, while a map is a 2D representation of part of the world on a flat surface. Maps come in different types - physical maps show natural features, political maps show boundaries, and thematic maps focus on specific information. For maps to accurately represent distances, a scale is used to relate distances on the map to distances on the ground. Large scale maps show smaller areas in more detail, while small scale maps show larger areas but with less detail.

A globe can be useful when we want to study the earth as a whole MAP- A map is a two dimensional representation of a certain region of the world When we want to study only a part of the earth, as about our country, states, districts, towns and villages, it is of little help. In such a situation we use maps
- 6. MAP • A mapis a representation or a drawing of the earth’s surface or a part of it drawn on a flat surface according to a scale. But it is impossible to flatten a round shape completely. Maps are useful to us for various purposes. One map shows a small area and a few facts. Another map may contain as many facts as a big book. When many maps are put together we get an Atlas. Atlases are of various sizes, measurements drawn on different scales. Maps provide more information than a globe.

- 19. DISTANCE • Maps aredrawings, which reduce the entire world or a part of it to fit on a sheet of paper. • If we want to measure the distance between the places on the map then what can be done ? • It can only be possible when a small distance on paper represents a large distance on the ground. • Therefore, a scale is chosen for this purpose.
- 20. What is scale? Scale is the ratio between the actual distance on the ground and the distance shown on the map. When large areas like continents or countries are to be shown on a paper, then we use a small scale. For example 5 cm on the map shows 500 km of the ground. It is called a small scale map. When a small area like your village or town is to be shown on paper, then we use a large scale that is 5 cm. on the map shows 500 metres only on the ground. It is called a large scale map. Large scale maps give more information than small scale maps.
