2. The mathematical association between the actual distance on the ground and its demonstration on map is called scale.
3. Geographers utilize direction and distance to illustrate relative location, which is the position of one place with reference to another.
4. On a map or globe, the exact positioning of places is predicted by a universally accepted grid system. The system comprises lines of latitudes demonstrated by parallels, and the lines of longitude are demonstrated by meridians.
5. The initiation point on the grid system for finding the latitudinal location is the zero degrees latitude or equator, while the initiation point for finding the longitudinal location is the prime meridian.
6. All lines of longitude meet at the poles.
7. All the lines of latitude are parallel to the equator.
