Let's solve this step-by-step by identifying the
elements of a good map and matching them to the numbered boxes in the image.
We are given the following elements to use:
-
scale
-
key
-
title
-
frame
-
compass
Now, let’s analyze each numbered box:
---
Box 1 (Top of the map)
This is where the
title of the map would go. The title tells us what the map is about. In this case, the map shows Uganda, so the title would likely be something like "Map of Uganda".
✔ Answer: Title
---
Box 2 (Right side of the map)
This points to the
border or outline of the map. This is the
frame, which contains the map and separates it from the surrounding area.
✔ Answer: Frame
---
Box 3 (Below the map)
This points to the
scale bar, which shows the relationship between distance on the map and actual distance on the ground. It includes measurements in kilometers and miles.
✔ Answer: Scale
---
Box 4 (Left side of the map)
This points to the
compass rose, which shows direction (e.g., North). The arrow pointing up with an "N" indicates north.
✔ Answer: Compass
---
Box 5 (Bottom left, pointing to the legend)
This shows symbols: a triangle (mountain), a downward arrow (possibly a river or waterfall), and a green shape (forest or vegetation). This is the
key (or legend), which explains what the symbols mean.
