  1. 4. an imaginary line of latitude located at approximately 66.5° N, marking the southern limit of the area where the sun does not set on the summer solstice and does not rise on the winter solstice
  2. 6. describes the ratio between a distance on a map and the corresponding real-world distance
  3. 8. a person who draws or produces maps
  4. 9. an imaginary line drawn around the earth equally distant from both poles, dividing the earth into northern and southern hemispheres and constituting the parallel of latitude 0°.
  5. 11. the angular distance of a place east or west of the meridian at Greenwich, England, or west of the standard meridian of a celestial object, usually expressed in degrees and minutes.
  6. 13. the natural characteristics of the earth's surface, encompassing its physical features like elevation, slope, and landforms such as mountains, valleys, and plains
  7. 14. an imaginary line of latitude at approximately 66.5° S, marking the southernmost limit where the sun remains above the horizon for 24 hours at least once a year
  8. 15. the precise geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) of a specific point on Earth's surface, providing an unambiguous, fixed position
  9. 16. the parallel of latitude 23°26ʹ north

  3. 3. a type of map that focuses on the human-created boundaries and divisions of countries, states, provinces, and cities
  4. 5. defines the position of a place by describing its relationship to other places, features, or landmarks, rather than its exact coordinates on Earth's surface
