Solution:

1. It tells us what the map is about.
- This refers to the TITLE of the map, which provides the main subject or focus of the map.
- Match: 1 → A

2. A flat representation of the earth's surface.
- This describes a MAP, which is a two-dimensional representation of the earth's surface.
- Match: 2 → I

3. It is the lines that show you where the map ends.
- These are the BORDER LINES of the map, which define its edges and boundaries.
- Match: 3 → H

4. These are patterns of lines that cross each other.
- These are GRID LINES, which form a network of intersecting lines (latitude and longitude) to help locate points on the map.
- Match: 4 → E

5. It is where the symbols are listed.
- This refers to the LEGEND/KEY, which explains the meaning of symbols used on the map.
- Match: 5 → B

6. It tells the direction on the map.
- This is the COMPASS ROSE or COMPASS, which indicates the cardinal directions (North, South, East, West).
- Match: 6 → C

7. It is a round, three-dimensional (3D) model or replica of the earth's surface.
- This describes a GLOBE, which is a spherical model of the earth.
- Match: 7 → J

8. The scale helps you measure the distance between two places.
- This refers to the SCALE, which shows the relationship between distances on the map and actual distances on the ground.
- Match: 8 → F

9. They tell us what things (color, lines, dots, etc.) on the map represent.
- These are SYMBOLS, which are visual representations used on maps to convey specific information.
- Match: 9 → G

10. They are lines that separate places such as one country, continent, or state from another.
- These are BORDER LINES, which delineate political or geographical boundaries.
- Match: 10 → D

5 → B
6 → C
7 → J
8 → F
9 → G
10 → D
```
