Test: Globes and Maps- 1 - Class 5 MCQ

• Maps are essential spatial tools that help us way-find or navigate the world or to find the locations of different place.
• They also help us learn about and to analyze various places and situations affecting our world.
• Maps help us to convey information and to tell stories in a visual way.

A globe is a spherical model of earth which represents Earth nearly perfectly.

• A map showing a small area in detail is called a large scale map.
• Although, it shows a small area, but it shows it in detail. They are basically the guide maps or topographic maps.
• In these maps, cities, towns and villages can be shown in details.

• A globe is like a small model of our Earth. It shows us how the Earth looks from space. On a globe, we can indeed see the shapes and positions of the continents (the big pieces of land like Africa and Asia), oceans (the huge bodies of water), and seas (smaller parts of the ocean). So, the statement is True!
• Here's a fun fact: Globes are very helpful for understanding where countries and oceans are on Earth. They help us learn more about our planet in a visual and easy way!

An atlas is a special book full of different maps. You can find maps that show countries, cities, roads, and more in an atlas. It helps us learn about different places and how to find them on a map.

• The imaginary line on which the Earth rotates is called the Axis. Just like a stick through a rotating toy, the Earth spins around this line.
• It has two ends, like the top and bottom of a ball. At the top, it's called the North Pole, and at the bottom, it's called the South Pole.
• This line helps us understand how the Earth moves and why we have day and night. 

The imaginary line drawn halfway between the North Pole and the South Pole is called the Equator. It helps us divide the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
