Across
- 5. a key that explains what the symbols on a map represent
- 6. a line on a topographic map that connects points of equal elevation
- 8. the 180 meridian, which serves as the transition line for calendar days
- 12. a map useful in plotting long distance trips by boat or plane that is made by projecting points and lines from a globe onto a piece of paper that touches the globe at a single point
- 14. projection a map with parallel lines of latitude and longitude that shows true direction and the correct shapes of landmasses but distorts areas near the pole
- 15. a map that shows the distribution,arrangement, and types of rocks below the soil, and other geologic features
Down
- 1. a map that is highly accurate for small areas, made by projecting points and lines from glove onto a cone
- 2. an imaginary line representing 0 longitude, running from the north pole, through Greenwich,England, to the south pole
- 3. shows a change in elevation surfaces
- 4. a ratio between the distances shown on the map and the actual distances on earth's surface
- 7. distance in degrees east and west of the prime meridian
- 9. the imaginary line that lies at 0 latitude and circles earth midway between the north and south poles dividing the earth into north and south
- 10. a difference in elevation between two side-by-side contour lines on a topographic map
- 11. distance in degrees north and south of the equator
- 13. a science of map making
