Let’s solve this step by step.
We are given a grid map with rows labeled 1 to 5 (from bottom to top) and columns labeled A to E (left to right). There’s also a compass showing North is up, South is down, East is right, West is left.
First, we need to find the location of each landform using the key and the map.
Looking at the map:
-
Mountains → The snow-capped mountain image is in row 4, column C → So location is
C4
-
Cave → The cave entrance image is in row 3, column B → So location is
B3
-
Canyon → The canyon image is in row 1, column A → So location is
A1
-
Island → The island with water around it is in row 3, column E → So location is
E3
-
Hill → The green hill image is in row 2, column C → So location is
C2
-
Volcano → The volcano with smoke is in row 5, column A → So location is
A5
Now fill in the table:
| mountains | C4 | island | E3 |
|-----------|--------|----------|--------|
| cave | B3 | hill | C2 |
| canyon | A1 | volcano | A5 |
Next part: Directions.
You are at the
hill (C2). You want to go to the
mountain (C4).
Same column (C), but from row 2 to row 4 → that’s going
up → which is
North.
So answer:
North
You are at the
cave (B3). You want to go to the
island (E3).
Same row (3), but from column B to column E → that’s going
right → which is
East.
So answer:
East
Final Answer:
Write the location of each item:
- mountains: C4
- cave: B3
- canyon: A1
- island: E3
- hill: C2
- volcano: A5
Write the direction of each location:
- You are at the hill. You want to go to the mountain. Which direction should you go? → North
- You are at the cave. You want to go to the island. Which direction should you go? → East
