Here is the correct matching of Column A (descriptions) to Column B (terms), along with a clear explanation for each:
---
✔ 1. It tells us what the map is about. →
A. TITLE
> *Explanation:* The title is usually at the top of the map and gives a quick summary of what the map shows — for example, “Political Map of Europe” or “Climate Zones of North America.”
---
✔ 2. A flat representation of the earth's surface →
I. MAP
> *Explanation:* A map is a 2D (flat) drawing or diagram that represents geographical features, political boundaries, or other data about the Earth’s surface.
---
✔ 3. It is the lines that show you where the map ends. →
E. BORDER
> *Explanation:* The border is the outer edge or frame of the map. It defines the physical boundary of the map sheet — where the map visually stops.
---
✔ 4. These are patterns of line that cross each other. →
F. GRID LINES
> *Explanation:* Grid lines are horizontal and vertical lines that intersect to form a grid. They help locate places using coordinates (like latitude and longitude).
---
✔ 5. It is where the symbols are listed. →
B. LEGEND / KEY
> *Explanation:* The legend (or key) explains what the symbols, colors, and lines on the map mean. For example, a red dot might mean a capital city, or a blue line might mean a river.
---
✔ 6. It tells the direction on the map. →
C. COMPASS
> *Explanation:* A compass rose (often just called “compass”) on a map shows cardinal directions: North, South, East, West. It helps orient the user.
---
✔ 7. It is a round, three dimensional (3D) model or replica of the earth’s surface. →
K. GLOBE
> *Explanation:* A globe is a spherical model of the Earth. Unlike flat maps, it accurately represents the curvature and relative sizes of landmasses and oceans.
---
✔ 8. The scale helps you measure the distance between two places. →
G. SCALE
> *Explanation:* The scale shows the relationship between distances on the map and actual distances on the ground. For example, “1 inch = 100 miles.”
---
✔ 9. They tell us what things (color, lines, dots etc.) on the map represent. →
J. SYMBOL
> *Explanation:* Symbols are visual representations (like icons, colors, or shapes) used on maps to stand for real-world features — such as trees, mountains, roads, or cities.
---
✔ 10. They are lines that separate places such as one country, continent, or state from another. →
H. BORDER LINES
> *Explanation:* Border lines mark the edges of political regions — countries, states, or provinces — showing where one jurisdiction ends and another begins.
---
✔ Final Answer Key:
1 → A
2 → I
3 → E
4 → F
5 → B
6 → C
7 → K
8 → G
9 → J
10 → H
