Bolts in geography

Answer 1

Border, Orientation, Legend, Title, Scale.

Border- The border of the map can be described as the 'frame' that surrounds it.

Orientation- The orientation or direction indicator on a map shows the reader "True North". This information is vital since once you know where true north is, you are then able to work out other cardinal points (N,E,S,W)

Legend- The legend or key on a map contains all the symbols that are featured on the map and also illustrates what each symbols represents. There are four types of map symbols.

Title- A title tells us the purpose of a map, usually the title has two parts. These two parts are ...

A. The name of the place that is being shown on the map

B. Features/information that is being shown on the map.

Scale- Every map is smaller than the real area it represents . The scale on a map shows how much smaller the map is than the actual area described. Using the map's scale you can measure distances between features depicted on the map and use this information to calculate the distances they represent on the earth's surfaces.

A scale map might be

A)A line scale

B)a description in words

C)a proportional scale

• Border-to show the edge of the map
