Geography                 (Globe and Map Skills)            

• Longitudes and latitudes                               
• Map: Map is an easy source of information about Earth.
  
• Longitudes (طول بلد): The vertical line from north to south in globe is called longitudes.
  
• Longitude divides in degrees.
• Longitudes degrees are 360. It’s calculated from Greenwich a city of England.
  
• Pakistan position on map: On the map of world Pakistan is located at 23.42⁰ to 36.55⁰ north latitudes and 60.45⁰ to 75.26⁰ east longitude.
  
• Prime meridian (نصف النہار اعظم ): The central line is on zero degree and called prime meridian. 
• 
  
• Latitudes (عرض بلد):  Parallel lines have been drawn on the globe from east to west is called latitudes. in number (90 degree northern latitudes and 90 degrees southern latitudes.
• Latitudes degrees are 180 in number (90 degree northern latitudes and 90 degrees southern latitudes.
• Equator (خط استوا): It is 0⁰. The central line between the latitudes lines which divides the earth in to two equal parts is called equator.
• 
  
• Tropic of cancer (خط سرطان): This line is located at 23  degree in the north of equator.
  
• Tropic of Capricorn (خط جدی): This line is located at 23  degree in the south of equator.
  
• Arctic line (دایرہ قطب شمالی): Arctic line is located in the north of equator at 66   degree.
  
• Antarctic Line (دایرہ قطب جنوبی): Antarctic line is located in the south of equator at 66   degree.
  
• Torrid Zone (منطقہ حارہ): The area between 23  degree north and 23  degree in south on the line equator is called Torrid Zone.
  
• Northern temperate Zone (منطقہ معتدلہ شمالی): The Area between 23  degree and 66   degree in north side is called northern temperate zone.
  
• Southern temperate Zone (منطقہ معتدلہ جنوبی): The area between 23  degree and 66   degree in south side is called southern temperate zone.  
  
• Northern Frigid Zone (منطقہ باردہ   شمالی):  The up area from 66   degree in north Zone.
  
• Southern Frigid zone (منطقہ باردہ  جنوبی ): The down area from 66   degree in south Zone.
  
• 
  
• The book of map is called Atlas.
  
• There are main two kinds of maps.  1) Need based map         2) Scale based maps
• Need Based map: These maps are made for specific purpose for example physiographic, weather, population, earthquakes and floods etc.
  
• Scale based Map: It has also two types. 1) Small scale map     2) Large scale map
  
• Small scale map: In small scale maps a large part of the earth is shown through a single inch or a centimeter.
  
• Large Scale Map: In the large scale maps comparatively, small part of the earth is shown through a single inch or centimeter.  
  
• Scale: Ratio between distances on the earth and map is called scale of the map.
  
• Scale types: 1) Statement of scale       2) Linear Scale
  
• Statement of scale: When the scale of a map is described in words it is called statement of scale. For example 1centimeter is equal to 10 kilometers. Which mean that one cm on the map shows 10 km of the ground.
  
• Linear Scale: When the scale of a map is shown through a proper lengthy line, is called linear scale.
