Grade 10 Term 2 Week 11 Map terminology and map symbols

What you need to know at the end of this week:

• Concepts such as scale, direction, distance indicators, legends, map grid References, equator, hemispheres, north pole, south pole, latitude, longitude, time zones, Universal Time Coordinate (UTC), International Date Line (IDL)Resources: Different types of colour maps, as needed for all sections on map work and tour planning

Session 1: BASELINE ASSESSMENT: MAPWORK

Write down the meaning of the following word in your book as revision from SS grade 8 and 9ScaleDirectionDistance indicatorsMap legendsMap grid referencesEquatorHemisphereNorth and South poleLongitudeLatitude

Session 2: Map work notes

Study the section in your textbook and these extra notes. Extra notes on Direction:Remember from and to: From is the starting point and to is the ending pointStep 1: Draw a vertical line through the point where the direction is being taken: North-South line. Step 2: Then draw a horizontal line through the same point: West-East line. Step 3: Draw a line joining the two places – the place where the direction is being measured to the place to which direction is being measured. Step 4: Identify the direction

Session 3 Use the map below and answer the following questions.

1. Draw a compass and complete the 16 directions.

2. Indicate what general direction is the: (show the directions on the map)2.1 Church in Bokstreet from the Tourism information office?2.2 Village Hall from the Tourism information office?

3. Tell a tourist the way from the Post Office to the Long Tom Monument. 4. Name two neighboring towns to this map. 5. What is the name of the river running through the town? (A spruit is a river)

Session 4 Map work Terminology

Paste the World Time Zone Map in your book and use it to do the following:1. Show the following on your Time Zone Map using the numbers :

1.1 Equator1.2 UTC1.3 IDL1.4 South Africa1.5 North pole 1.6 South pole1.7 Northern hemisphere1.8 Eastern Hemisphere

2. Now answer the following questions by using the Time Zone Map.2.1 What time zone does South Africa use?2.2 How many degrees is this line from the UTC? Explain your answer.2.3 What would the time difference be between South Africa and the UTC?2.4 How many time zones are between South Africa and England?2.5 If it is 8:00 in England, how late would it be in South Africa?2.6 How many time zones (longitude) are on earth?

3. What is the use of the IDL?4. What would be the reason for this line never crossing a country?5. Read page 76 and 77 and write a short paragraph (5-10 lines) explaining time

difference on earth.In an explanation paragraph, you need to explain how or why something happens. You’ll have to explore causes and effects of certain events.

Use the following words to help you:

Grade 10 Term 2 Week 11 Map terminology and map symbolsMemorandum for activities.

Session 1: BASELINE ASSESSMENT: MAPWORK

NEW WORD EXPLANATION – AFTER PRESENTATION

ScaleScale refers to how much smaller the map is in relation with the real world.

DirectionTo determine the position of one place according to another.North, south, east, west.Northeast, northwest, southeast and southwest

Distance indicatorsShows the distance between two places or intersections indicated on a map.

Map legendsSmall pictures or symbols drawn on a map to show the position of attractions and services in real life

Map grid references

Helps people find a specific place on a map. Columns and rows are numbered with letters or alphabet to form a grid

EquatorAn imaginary line that cuts the world in half horizontally.

HemisphereEquator divides the earth into two hemispheres. Northern and southern

North and South pole

Northern and southern most point on the earth

LongitudeImaginary lines that runs from the south pole to the north pole.Greenwich meridian

Latitude Imaginary lines that run across the earth from east to west.Equator

Session 3 Use the map below and answer the following questions.Use the map below and answer the following questions.

1. Draw a compass and complete the 16 directions.

2. Indicate what general direction is the: (show the directions on the map)2.1 Church in Bokstreet from the Tourism

information office?2.2 Village Hall from the Tourism information

office?

3. Tell a tourist the way from the Post Office to the Long Tom Monument. In a northerly direction, stand in front of the post office turn right in Rush street, turn right in Rissik street, walk till you find Mare street turn left, walk two blocks and find the Long Tom Monument on your right.

4. Name two neighboring towns to this map. Tzaneen, Polokwane, 5. What is the name of the river running through the town? Kantoorspruit

Session 4 Map work Terminology Paste the World Time Zone Map in your book and use it to do the following:

1. Show the following on your Time Zone Map using the numbers :1.1 Equator1.2 UTC1.3 IDL1.4 South Africa1.5 North pole 1.6 South pole1.7 Northern hemisphere1.8 Eastern Hemisphere

2. Now answer the following questions by using the Time Zone Map.2.1 What time zone does South Africa use? +2

2.2 How many degrees is this line from the UTC? Explain your answer.30° because we are two longitude lines away from the UTC

2.3 What would the time difference be between South Africa and the UTC?2 hours

2.4 How many time zones are between South Africa and England? 2

2.5 If it is 8:00 in England, how late would it be in South Africa? 10:00

2.6 How many time zones (longitude) are on earth? 24

3. What is the use of the IDL? International Date Line, Imaginary lines on earth (approximately on the 180° line) determine the date

4. What would be the reason for this line never crossing a country? Difficult for countries to have two different days (dates) on the same day. Half of the country – Monday, other half Sunday countries

5. Read page 76 and 77 and write a short paragraph (5-10 lines) explaining time difference on earth.Because of the different countries being on different longitude lines therefore we have different timezones . Since every country have a specific time zone every country will have a different time. Since the timezone of a country is based on the longitude line that runs through its centre the country will have its own time that will differ from other countries.
