What you'll learn

Each question helps you build key knowledge and skills.

  • 1Maps use symbols and a key so that lots of information can be shown clearly in a small space.
  • 2A grid reference uses numbers along the bottom of a map and up the side to give the exact location of a feature.
  • 3The scale of a map tells you how a distance on the paper relates to the real distance on the ground.
  • 4Contour lines join places of the same height, and lines that are close together show a steep slope.
  • 5A compass has eight main points, and graphs such as bar charts and line graphs help us show geographical data clearly.
