__ Question 2 __ In which state of Australia is Carnavon? Carnavon is in Western Australia

__ Question 3 __ Distinguish between the terms Latitude and Longitude. Lines of latitude are imaginary lines drawn around the world from east to west. Every line runs parallel each other. The most important line of latitude is the equator.

Lines of longitude are imaginary lines which run from the North Pole to the South Pole. These lines are also called the meridians of longitude. The most important line of longitude is the Greenwich, Prime, and Meridian. =QUESTION 4 =

The three names that are the most important lines of latitude are the Tropic of Cancer, the Tropic of Capricorn and the Equator. The Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn are defining the tropics while the equator is the imaginary line that runs through the centre of the earth. QUESTION5 We give the eastings first, then the northings. QUESTION 6 The International Date Line is a line of longitude. Unlike other lines of longitude, it is not necessary to have either E or W after it because the line is both 180°E and 180°w of the Prime Meridian. The International Date Line does not pass through any land. In fact, the line is deliberately ‘moved’ so it passes only through sea. If you travel across the International Date Line, you must change not only the time but also the day behind areas to the west of the line. So if it is Thursday in New Zealand, it will be Wednesday in Argentina. Cook Islands, Kiribati and the USA lie to the east of the International Date Line; China and New Zealand are to the west. Australia is also west of the line.

QUESTION 7 QUESTION 8 You can gain a day and you can arrive at your destination before your departure time by travelling over the International Date Line as the International Date Line gives you different sets of times. QUESTION 9. What does a topographic map show and who would possibly use this type of map? The topographic map shows the heights of the landscape. Topographic maps are used for bushwalking, orienteering, planing roads and checking slope steepness. QUESTION 10 The colours on a topographic map are important because they indicate certain features on the map for example; Blue was used for all the water and river features. They are used effectively as they stand out and help people understand the map easier. QUESTION 11 Area references are similar to the lines of latitude and longitude used in an atlas because they are both vertical and horizontal and they both help us find places on maps. QUESTION 12 An aerial oblique view is a bird's eye view. QUESTION 13 QUESTION 14 Eastings mean the lines that run up and down of the map and northing means the lines that run across the map horizontal. QUESTION 15 What is the purpose of drawing a cross-section view of a topographical map? The purpose of drawing cross-section view of a topographical map is to see what a half of a mountain, hill and etc would look like. QUESTION 16 The term ‘spot height’ means to show the actual height of particular locations on a map, and it could be used to see the spot height. QUESTION 17 Uluru rises 862 m above the surrounding landscape and the monolith above the sea level is 500 m. QUESTION 18 QUESTION 19 QUESTION 20 Which city is located at 36.46S 144.17E and what does this code mean? The city which is located 36.46S 144.17E is Bendigo. This code means that the latitude of the town of Bendigo is 36 degrees and 46 minutes south of the equator. Its longitude is 144 degrees and 17 minutes east of the Prime Meridian.

QUESTION 21 The creators of Time Zones were the US railroad officials in 1883 based on 75°, 90°, 105° and 120° meridians west of the Prime Meridian of Greenwich.

QUESTION 22

A legend is a key that helps you understand maps with the symbols and pictures. A grid is a vertical and horizontal set of lines that pass through the page. A contour is a map that shows lines that show how steep a mountain, hill or something else is.

QUESTION 23 A contour interval is the name of the height difference of contour lines.

QUESTION 24 As you approach blue lake from the south, it would be steep as you climb blue lake. The height of blue lake is 100,000 metres.

QUESTION 25 A vertical exaggeration occurs when the numbers of time you are exaggerating the horizontal scale.
