Answer:
Explanation:
1.A map is a drawing of all or part of Earth's surface. Its basic purpose is to show where things are. Maps may show visible features, such as rivers and lakes, forests, buildings, and roads. ... Most maps are drawn on a flat surface. A map displayed on a round surface is called a globe.
2.A political map focuses on boundaries between entities, like countries, states or counties. They are generally brighter colors to easily distinguish the boundaries. A physical map focuses on the geography of the area and will often have shaded relief to show the mountains and valleys.
3.Most maps contain an arrow marked with the letter 'N' at the upper right hand corner. This arrow shows the northern direction. It is called the north line. When we know the north, we can find out other directions. This is the reason that maps have a north line
4.you will need the direction i guess of it is with respect to another. Or longitude and latitude if it is on a globe or map. In some cases altitude as well. You also need to know the distance from the starting to the end point.
5.A map key or legend is included with a map to unlock it. It gives you the information needed for the map to make sense. Maps often use symbols or colors to represent things, and the map key explains what they mean.
