Answer:

A 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.

There are six basic elements of a map:

1. Title: It indicates the subject of the map, e. g., distribution of natural vegetation, water bodies, climate, etc.

2. Scale: It denotes the relationship between map distances and actual ground distances.

3. Direction: It refers to the Cardinals directions, i. e., North, South, East and West. Conventionally, a map is aligned with the North towards the top.

4. Grid system: It is a network of lines that help in pinpointing the location of a place on a map. Usually a grid is formed by lines of latitudes and longitudes.

5. Conventional Signs: These symbols are used to represent different objects such as roads, railways, rivers, canals, mountains, oceans, etc.

6. Key or Legend: It explains the meaning of the symbols that are used in the map.
