GED® Social Studies: Maps, Regions & Physical Geography · preview lesson
Maps simplify Earth, so every map must be read with its title, legend, scale, and compass direction. Latitude measures north-south position from the Equator. Longitude measures east-west position from the Prime Meridian. Scale tells how map distance relates to real distance.
