This week students are learning about various types of maps, and the map basics, like map keys, map legends, and the compass rose. Maps are representations of the Earth's surface. Maps are abstractions because they show simplified versions of surface features. They are designed to show detailed information about a limited number of topics. A map can show many things that a picture cannot show. Maps look different in many ways from a photograph of the Earth.
