Today we learned a lot about maps. We learned about map scales- it's a key that shows you what the sizing, like cm:km, 1:10000 it shows you how zoomed in it is. We can use it to see how far things are. We also learned about map projections. Map projections are are the different ways maps are shown. They can be shown in circle or even squares. Every projection just changes the distortion. That's why some projections are used for different things. Meridians are the lines on maps going down and so is longitude. It is the way we measure how Far East and west something is. Latitude and parallels are the lines going from left to right on a map. They measure how far north or south something is. The prime meridian is a longitude line that is 0 degrees longitude.
