A _______________ is an
accurate representation of
the spherical shape of the
world

There are many different
types of maps that attempt
to represent specific
___________

Latitudes and longitudes as
well as other geographical
referencing systems are very
useful in fixing the positions
of features on a
___________

____________ defines a
map as A representation
usually on a plane surface of
all or part of the earth or
some other body showing a
group of features in terms of
their relative size and
position

In map ________________
we can use the information
displayed on the map to
make some logical
inferences or conclusions
about some other facts not
expressly shown on the map

______________ symbols
are mostly used in producing
maps for children and nonliterate adults

Another name for literal
symbol is
_________________

_________________ has to
do with showing the curved
surface of the earth on a
plane or flat sheet

___________ is the entails
decoding of map symbols to
derive their meanings and
also understand the
message or information
those symbols convey to the
map user

______________refers to
listing or counting of discrete
items visible on a map For
example on a large scale
map showing a portion of a
city we can count or take a
census of the number of
individual houses boreholes
bus stops or petrol stations
in the area.

A map is not a __________

______________ maps that
show climate, weather and
wind are types of
environmental maps

A __________ is an isolated
one family residence

All but one is not a
component of map
______________

All but one is not a type of

________________

Maps can be grouped into
various classes or
_________________

The __________ Scale tells
the user how the map
relates to the real world
features it represents

A map scale can be
expressed in __________
different ways

Today maps are commonly
produced on computers
using software such as
_______________

Maps and map-making have
undergone some notable
_______________________
trend

___________________
maps are used in data
analysis to make or test
hypotheses such as the
identification of cancer
clusters examine the
relationship between two
distributions using simple
transparent overlays identify
suitable sites for a proposed
project and so on

______________ lines run
north and south around the
earths surface they intersect
at the poles and measure
distance east and west from
the Prime Meridian

Every map is a reduced
version of some aspects
of_________

___________________ is
one of the most important
elements of a map

Drainage here refers to
___________ and rivers

Basically there are
____________ broad tasks
involved in map analysis

________ of longitude are
arbitrary but conventional
lines and together with the
parallels based upon the
naturally given equator
constitute the globe grid

___________________
refers to outlining or placing
boundaries round regions or
areal units observed on the
map

Maps are usually produced
based on certain
___________systems that
enable us to accurately
determine the locations of
features

The course material
ESM291 titled Map Analysis
was written by
_________________

The ___________ of a map
shows how much how the
given area has been
reduced to paper size and
hence how much you would
have to enlarge your map to
get the actual size of the
piece of land shown on the
map

Coordinate systems such as
geographical coordinates
and ________________
coordinates are very useful
in determining the accurate
locations of features on the
map

_________ shows the
coordinate system in the
form of parallels of latitude
and meridians of longitude
so that the area can be
placed in its proper
geographical location on the
globe

The course material on
ESM291 Map Analysis was
first printed in
_____________

There are ______________
broad categories into which
map scales can be grouped

Maps have changed from
basic expressions of
___________to works of art
and extremely accurate
scientific tool

______________ is used to
graphically display and
disseminate geographical
information

As a ___________ rule the
higher the denominator the

versa

The earliest maps that have
withstood the test of time
were made on _________
tablets Maps were produced

The map ____________
shows the symbols on a

The term __________ map
refers to the maps that are
not actually produced and
just exist in our minds

__________ tells the
directions on a map using

South East West and so on

A map shows a twodimensional representation
of _____________
dimensional features

A _____________ map is
also called an economic
map it shows and represents
the natural resources and
the economic activity of
different regions of an area

All but one is not a map
analysis tasks
