Answers
Answer:
1 . The limitations of a globe are:
A globe cannot give the correct idea of the distances between two places.
A globe is too small to get the actual size of an area.
The types of terrain and landscape of a place cannot really be figured on a globe.
2. Maps are easier to use and easier to carry around.
They can show the earth's entire surface or just a small part and can show even a small locality in a great detail.
3. thematic map is also called a special-purpose, single-topic, or statistical map. A thematic map focuses on the spatial variability of a specific distribution or theme (such as population density or average annual income), whereas a reference map focuses on the location and names of features.
4. Points between the cardinal directions form the points of the compass. The intercardinal (also called the intermediate directions and, historically, ordinal) directions are northeast (NE), southeast (SE), southwest (SW), and northwest (NW).
5.the conventional symbols help us in reading maps by showing which place we are in, how hot or cold it is. it also helps us in showing the symbols where we are
