Step-by-step solution for: Parts Of A Map
Let's solve this worksheet step by step. The task is to draw a line from each question in Column A to the correct answer in Column B.
---
#### 1. "It tells us what the map is about."
- This refers to the title of the map.
- ✔ Answer: A. TITLE
#### 2. "A flat representation of the earth's surface"
- This is the definition of a map.
- ✔ Answer: I. MAP
#### 3. "It is the lines that show you where the map ends."
- These are the border lines of the map.
- ✔ Answer: H. BORDER LINES
#### 4. "These are patterns of line that cross each other."
- Grid lines (like latitude and longitude) form a crisscross pattern.
- ✔ Answer: F. GRID LINES
#### 5. "It is where the symbols are listed."
- The legend or key explains the symbols used on the map.
- ✔ Answer: B. LEGEND/KEY
#### 6. "It tells the direction on the map."
- The compass shows directions (North, South, East, West).
- ✔ Answer: C. COMPASS
#### 7. "It is a round, three-dimensional (3D) model or replica of the Earth's surface."
- This describes a globe.
- ✔ Answer: K. GLOBE
#### 8. "The scale helps you measure the distance between two places."
- Scale shows the relationship between distance on the map and real-world distance.
- ✔ Answer: G. SCALE
#### 9. "They tell us what things (color, lines, dots etc.) on the map represent."
- Again, this is the legend/key, which explains symbols.
- ✔ Answer: B. LEGEND/KEY
> ⚠️ Note: Question 5 and 9 both refer to the legend/key. That’s okay — they are related concepts.
#### 10. "They are lines that separate places such as one country, continent, or state from another."
- These are border lines (political boundaries).
- ✔ Answer: H. BORDER LINES

| Column A | Matched to | Column B |
|---------|------------|----------|
| 1. It tells us what the map is about. | → | A. TITLE |
| 2. A flat representation of the earth's surface | → | I. MAP |
| 3. It is the lines that show you where the map ends. | → | H. BORDER LINES |
| 4. These are patterns of line that cross each other. | → | F. GRID LINES |
| 5. It is where the symbols are listed. | → | B. LEGEND/KEY |
| 6. It tells the direction on the map. | → | C. COMPASS |
| 7. It is a round, three-dimensional (3D) model or replica of the Earth's surface. | → | K. GLOBE |
| 8. The scale helps you measure the distance between two places. | → | G. SCALE |
| 9. They tell us what things (color, lines, dots etc.) on the map represent. | → | B. LEGEND/KEY |
| 10. They are lines that separate places such as one country, continent, or state from another. | → | H. BORDER LINES |

- B. LEGEND/KEY appears twice (for #5 and #9) — both are correct.
- H. BORDER LINES appears twice (for #3 and #10) — also correct, since both describe boundary lines.
---
✔ All answers are now matched correctly.
You can now draw lines from each number in Column A to its corresponding letter in Column B.
