HemispheresBy using the equator and prime meridian, we can divide the world into four hemispheres, north, south, east, and west.

CompassA compass is a tool that helps the user know what direction one is headed.
On a map, a compass or a compass rose helps the user locate these directions.

Compass Rose The needle on a compass is
magnetized to point to the earth's north magnetic pole. Thus with a compass, a person can roughly tell which direction they are headed.
There are four major or cardinal directions on a compass- north, south, east & west. In between are the directions northeast, northwest, southeast, southwest.

Directions The cardinal directions are north, south,
east, and west. The intermediate directions are
northeast, southeast, southwest and northwest.
They help describe the location of places in relation to other places.

Scale Maps are made to scale; that is, there is a
direct connection between a unit of measurement on the map and the actual distance.
For example, each inch on the map represents one mile on Earth. So, a map of a town would show a mile-long strip of fast food joints and auto dealers in one inch.

Time Zones The Earth is divided into 24 time
zones, corresponding to 24 hours in a day.
As the earth rotates, the sun shines in different areas, moving from east to west during the course of a day.
Places that have the same longitude will be in the same time zone.
