 * Group 1 members are:

1. 2.The state which is carnarvon is Western Australia. 3.Latitude are imaginary lines that run from the East to West. Longitude are imaginary lines that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole 4.The three names that are the most important lines of latitude are the Tropic of Cancer, the Tropic of Capricorn and the Equator. 5. The first reference in pinpointing the exact location would be using the latitude first. 6. The International Dateline is a line of longitude at 180 degrees. 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 Meridan. The International Dateline does not pass through land. In fact, the line is delibrately "moved" so it passes only through sea. If you travel across the International Dateline, you must change not only the time but also the day and date. To the east of the line is one day behind areas to the west of the line. So, if it is Thursday in New Zealand, it will be Wednesday in Argentina. Kiribati, USA and the Cook Islands lie to the east of the International Date Line; China and New Zealand are to the west. Australia is also west of the line. 7.It takes the Earth 3 hours to rotate 45˚. 15˚ longitude is. For the Earth to rotate 45˚ it would then take 3 hours. 8. You could gain one day or arrive at your destination before you departure by going to the other side of the world because the International Dateline has different separate times for all parts of the world. 9. Topographic maps are useful for bushwalking, orienting, planning roads and checking slope steepness. Topographic maps show the main features in the landscapes. They show how steep a slope is or which would be the easiest path to take. 10. The colours on a topographic map are important because they are used to represent different things. For instance water would be blue, which would be easier to read, because as soon as your see blue you know that it represents water. 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. 12.An aerial oblique is a scale shown on a map. 13. A contour map shows how high the terrain is by putting contour lines around the terrain and also putting numbers for each contour line to show how high it is. 14. The lines which run across the map horizontally (east/west) are called northings, because the numbers increase the further north they are. The lines which run up and down the map (north/south) are called eastlings because the numbers increase the further east they are. 15.The purpose of drawing cross-section view of a topographical map is to see what a half of a mountain, hill, etc would look like. 16. The term “spot height” is used when you put a dot on the highest point of the terrain/mountain. 17.Uluru rises 862m and by sea level it rises 800m. 18. The tearms easting and northing are geographical coordinates for a point. Easting means to the eastward-measured distance, and Northing means to the northward-measured distance. 19. The Prime Meridian passes through Greenwich, England. It is important because when the sun is directly over the Prime Meridian, the time is 12 noon **(Greenwich Mean Time)**. 20. The city located at 36.46S 144.17e is Bendigo. The code is: the latitude is 36 degree’s and 46 minutes south of the Equator. Longitude is 144 degrees and 17 minutes east of the Prime Meridian. 21. Times Zones were originally created in 1883 by US railroad officials. 22. The legend is the meaning of the symbol. The grids are lines that pass throughout the page vertically and horizontally. Contour is when the map has lines that repeat itself around a certain something, possibly a mountain to show how steep it can get. 23.A contour interval is the diffrence in heght between one contuor line and the next is always the same. 24.It would be steep if you approach Blue Lake from the south. The height of blue lake is 100,000 metres. 25. A vertical exaggeration occurs when the numbers of time you are exaggerating the horizontal scale.
 * Political maps ||  These are maps in an atlas which show different political regions in different colours and borders  ||
 * Physical maps ||  These maps show the physical landforms of a region, including patterns of mountains ranges, rivers and other physical features.  ||
 * Tourist maps ||  These maps show settlements, tourist’s attractions, roads distances, streets names and often accommodation and service stations.  ||
 * Mud maps ||  Mud maps typically show the streets to take to reach particular location  ||
 * Topographic maps ||  This type of map is useful when bushwalikng ,planning roads and checking the steepness of slopes.  ||
 * Choropleth Maps ||  Choropleth maps use dark and light shades of the same colours to show a pattern. The darker shades show the most of a feature such as population and the lighter shades show the least.  ||
 * Satellite images ||  Satellite images are particularly useful for showing surface temperature, cloud patterns, smoke and ash from or volcanoes.  ||
 * Theme maps ||  A wide range of themes can be shown in map form for example, historical sites or events, invasions are themes that can be explored in this way.  ||
 * Synoptic charts ||  These maps isobars and other symbols show movements of weather systems and patterns of temperature ,rainfalls and wind  ||
 * Flow maps ||  These maps show the patterns of the movement of things such as traffic, trade and people [migration]  ||
