Question

Distinguish between
1. Physical and Political Map
2. Latitude and Longitude
3. Asteroids and Meteoroids

Answer 1

1.Physical Maps: A physical map focuses on the geography of the area and will often have shaded relief to show the mountains and valleys. Typical colors are blues, greens and browns. Many rivers, mountains and lake features are usually labeled.

Political Map. Political maps are designed to show governmental boundaries of countries, states, and counties, the location of major cities, and they usually include significant bodies of water.


2.Latitude is an angle (defined below) which ranges from 0° at the Equator to 90° (North or South) at the poles. Lines of constant latitude, or parallels, run east–west as circles parallel to the equator. Latitude is used together with longitude to specify the precise location of features on the surface of the Earth.

Longitude (vertical line)is the angular distance, in degrees, minutes, and seconds, of a point east or west of the Prime (Greenwich) Meridian. Lines of longitude are often referred to as meridians.

3.Asteroids are minor planets, especially those of the inner Solar System. The larger ones have also been called planetoids.

A meteoroid is a small rocky or metallic body in outer space. Meteoroids are significantly smaller than asteroids, and range in size from small grains to 1 meter-wide objects.

Answer 2

1) Political Map focuses on boundaries between entitis, like countries, states.

A physical map focuses on the geography of the area and will often have shaded relief to show the mountains and valleys.

2) Latitudes is the angular distance North or south from the equator of a point on the earth's surface, measured on the meridian of the point. They are imaginary and sleeping lines.

Longitude is the angular distance between East or West on the earth surface measured by the angle contained between the meridian of a particular place and some prime meridian, as that of Greenwich, England, and expressed either in degrees or by corresponding difference in time.

3) Asteroids are a large Rocky body in space, in orbit around the Sun.

Meteoroids are any of the small bodies,often remains of comets, travelling through space. When such body enters the earth's atmosphere it is heated to luminosity and becomes a meteor.
