Maps use symbols like lines and different colours to show features such as rivers, roads, cities or mountains. ... All these symbols help us to visualise what things on the ground actually look like. Maps also help us to know distances so that we know how far away one thing is from another.

Answer 2

Answer:

Maps use symbols like lines and different colours to show features such as rivers, roads, cities or mountains. Young geographers need to be able to understand symbols. All these symbols help us to visualise what things on the ground actually look like.

Maps also help us to know distances so that we know how far away one thing is from another. We need to be able to estimate distances on maps because all maps show the earth or regions within it as a much smaller size than their real size. To do this we need to be able to read the scale on a map.
