Explanation:

A globe is a very useful thing but it has certain limitations. You can use a globe when you need to have an overall view of the whole earth. A globe does not show details of a country or a state. When you need to study details about a small place then you need to use a map.

Map: A map is a representation drawing of earth’s surface or a part of it on a flat surface. Maps are drawn according to scale. It is difficult to represent a spherical surface on a flat surface. Specially trained people draw maps and they are called cartographer.

Types of Maps

There can be different types of maps. Some of them are as follows:

Physical Map: A physical map shows physical features of the earth. Mountains, plains, plateau, desert, rivers, oceans, etc. come under the physical features. A physical map is also called relief map.

Political Map: A political map shows boundaries of towns, cities, states, countries, etc.

Thematic Map: Thematic maps show specific information. For example; a road map shows the road network of an area. Similarly, a rail map shows the rail network of an area. A thematic map can show various industries, crop production, population density, etc.

Components of Maps

DISTANCE

Small Scale Map: When a large area is shown on a small map, such a map is called a small scale map. Example; map of a country or state.

Large Scale Map: When a small area such as a village is shown on a map, such a map is called a large scale map. A map of a neighbourhood is another example of large scale map. A large scale map gives more details compared to a small scale map.

DIRECTION

Compass: Compass is very useful for finding directions at a place. This is a small circular box with a magnetic needle inside. The needle of the compass always points in the north-south direction. Compass has been used by travelers and sailors since ages.
