ᎷᎪᏢ

Ꭺ map is defined as a representation of the earth's surface or a part of it, showing natural or man-made features, drawn to scale on a flat surface. This description of the earth's surface helps us to understand various types of phenomena such as soil, climate, vegetation, rivere, lakes, etc. Thus, maps helps us to obtain maximum information in minimum space. The art of map making is known as Cartography.

The word ‘Cartography’ has been derived from two French words ‘Carte’ and ‘Graphie’ meaning ‘map’ and ‘drawing’ respectively.

ᏀᏞϴᏴᎬ

Ꭺ globe is a three dimensional representation of the earth. It is the most accurate device to study the whole earth. In fact, a globe is the only true representation of the earth, indicating it's shape, directions, area, and other features. However, a globe has certain limitations. Due to its limited space, it cannot represent physical feature and other characters in detail. Further, topographic details cannot be shown on a globe.

The globe perfectly represents the shape often earth. It is title at an angle of about 23.5 degree, and slightly flattened at the poles and bulged at the equator. A imaginary line which is also equator passed through the middle of the earth. Though equator is an imaginary line, it doesn't passes actually from the earth. The globe represents all the latitudes and longitudes. By these meridians, we can locate the location of a place.
