- 12. Also called Meridians and run in a North-South pattern and meet at the poles
- 15. Shows the larger area of a smaller location on a map

- 6. These are most similar to Earth when studying maps
- 7. Lines on a map that that are used in place of latitude and longitude when a map is too small for the correct angles
- 8. Shows correct land/continents shapes and sizes but the gaps created does not show distance correctly
- 10. Shows the magnified portion/location of a larger map
- 11. Where a place is in relation to where another place is
- 13. The exact coordinates where a location or people are located
