This unit explores the fundamental aspects of geography, focusing on maps as essential tools for understanding our planet. We examine various map types, including physical maps that display landforms and bodies of water, and political maps that illustrate boundaries. Key concepts such as latitude and longitude, map scales, and the role of cartographers are discussed. Additionally, we highlight the use of atlases for research and emphasize the importance of map keys that explain symbols and drawings, enhancing our comprehension of geographical features.
