3. A map and a globe

4. Map Globe
• A map is flat.
• Map is the top view
of any place.
• Map helps us to
find any place or

• Globe helps us in
locating the
countries on Earth.
• Globe is only of
Earth.
• Globe can not be
taken anywhere
easily.

6. Uses of maps
• They record facts of climate, vegetation,
materials and features of different regions.
• A map gives a minute depiction of a very large
space.
• It acts as a guide in places which we have never
visited before.
• Maps can be drawn before construction of any
building or place.

9. Map symbols are the

19. • A Globe helps us to locate
continents, oceans, countries, seas
and rivers on Earth.
• It helps to determine climates
of different regions of world.

21. • These are horizontal
lines.
• They are total 180 lines.
• They are in form of
concentric circles.
• They run from east to
west.
• They do not meet at any
point.
• At zero degree latitude ,
Equator is located.
• They are parallel lines.

22. • These are vertical lines.
• They are total 360 lines.
• They are not complete
circles.
• They run from north to
south.
• They meet at North and
South poles.
• At zero degree longitude,
prime meridian is located.
• They are not parallel lines

26. Imaginary line
halfway between
North and South
Poles dividing the
globe into Northern
and Southern
Hemispheres

27. Imaginary line that
runs North to South
through Greenwich,
England and divides
the globe into
Eastern and
Western
Hemispheres

28. Hemisphere may refer to:
Half of a sphere…
As half of the Earth:
Globe consists of
Northern hemisphere
Southern hemisphere
Eastern hemisphere
Western hemisphere

32. At what degrees these
latitudes are present….

At 23.5N (Tropic of Cancer)
At 0 (Equator)
At 23.5S (Tropic of Capricorn)
At 66.5S (Antarctic Circle)
