  1. 3. The seven largest areas of land on Earth.
  2. 7. A very large, unbroken area of land.
  3. 11. The line of latitude that circles Earth exactly midway between the North and South poles.
  4. 15. One complete trip by Earth around the sun.
  5. 16. The precise point where a place is located on Earth.
  6. 18. The directions on a compass rose, such as southeast, that are located between the cardinal directions.
  7. 20. An imaginary line between the North and South poles that crosses the equator at right angles.
  8. 21. The area between Earth’s tropical zones and polar zones, where the climate is relatively mild.
  9. 22. The meridian of longitude labeled 0 degrees, from which all other degrees of longitude are measured. The prime meridian passes through Greenwich, England

  1. 1. Area between the equator and the Tropic of Cancer and between the equator and the Tropic of Capricorn, where the climate is generally hot.
  2. 2. The four main directions on a compass rose: north, south, east, and west.
  3. 4. One half of a sphere. Earth can be divided into eastern and western hemispheres or into northern and southern hemispheres.
  4. 5. An element of a map that shows how a unit of distance on the map (such as an inch) relates to actual distance on the surface of Earth.
  5. 6. A set of numbers that together describe the exact location of something, such as a place on a map.
  6. 8. a change in the shape, size, or position of a place when it is shown on a map.
  7. 9. The area between the Arctic Circle and the North Pole or between the Antarctic Circle and the South Pole, where the climate is generally cold.
  8. 10. A way of representing the spherical Earth on a flat surface.
  9. 12. Where a place is located in relation to another place.
  10. 13. A system of imaginary lines that divides up the space on a map.
  11. 14. the spinning motion of Earth around its axis.
  12. 17. The meridian of longitude located at 180º. By international agreement, the date is one day earlier to the east of this line.
  13. 19. An imaginary line that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole through the center of Earth
  14. 20. An imaginary line around Earth that runs parallel to the equator
  15. 23. Another name for map legend.
  16. 26. The system of imaginary lines (called parallels of latitude and meridians of longitude) used to divide the surface of Earth on maps and globes.
