    Unit 1
    MAP TERMINOLOGY AND MAP SYMBOLS
     Map symbols
    - A picture or representation of the earth’s surface. It shows how places are related to each
    other in distance, direction and size.
    - Symbols on maps means to interpret the information on the map.
    Scale

     Represent the ration of a distance on the map to the actual distance on the ground.
     Maps have or a relationship of a line scale.
     A ratio of scale of 1:50,000 means that one centimeter on the map represents 50,000 cm,
    which is in really 0.5 km.
    Distance indicators

     Show the distance between places on the routes.

     Direction
    - Is a way of describing the position of one place in relation to another.
    Terminology relevant to time zones

     Latitude and Leg Degrees: the time zone map has longitude lines numbered at 15° intervals.
     The 0° line of longitude is called the Greenwich meridian, because it runs through Greenwich,
    London. (divides earth into eastern and western hemispheres or hemispheres.
     All meridians run from the North Pole to the South Pole and divide the Earth into 24 time
    zones.
     Lines of latitude run parallel to the equator, which is the 0˚ line of latitude.
     The equator divides the earth into northern and southern hemisphere
     Grid reference:
    - To located a place or features on a map
     Universal time coordinate (UTC)
    The earth is divided into time zones by lines of longitude.
    - Every 15° of the longitude system is equal to one hour.
    - The time zone of a country IS CALCULATED IN RELATION TO THE MORE UNIVERSAL
    TIME COORDINATE OR UTC. (ALSO KNOWN AS GREENWICH MEAN TIME – GMT)
    - UTC IS BASED ON THE LOCAL STANDERD TIME OF 0° - MERIDIAN THAT RUNS
    THROUGH THE GREENWICH.
    - MIDNIGHT IN GREENWICH IS KNOWN AS 00:00 UTK AND HIGH NOON AS 12:00 UTC
     THE TIME IN LANDS EAST OF THE GREENWICH MERDIAN (0°) HAS TIMES THAT ARE LATER THAN UTK.
     FOR EXAMPLE: CAPE TOWN, LOCATED AT 30° EAST'S TIME HOURS EARLIER THAN THAT OF LONDON AT
    0°.
     THE TIME IN CAPE TOWN IS REFERRED TO AS UTC+2.
     FOR EXAMPLE, IF IT IS 12:00 IN LONDON (0°), IT IS 14:00 IN Cape Town.
     Lands west of the Greenwich meridian have times earlier U.K.
     For example: if it is 12:00 p.m. in London will be five hours earlier in New York (75° W). So the time in upstate New York
    will be 7:00 a.m.
     The time of a country is based on the line of longitude that runs through its middle.
     South African Standard Time (SAT) is determined by the 30° 0 spring grade.
     For example, America has four time zones because it spans 60 lines of longitude and every 15° interval is equal to one hour.
    International date line (IDL)

     The idl is an imaginary line on the Earth's surface at the 180°


     East of the idl, the time is one day earlier than on the west side of it.
     If the idl crosses from the east, you move one day BACK (lose one day).
     For example: on a Tuesday flying west from the U.S. to Japan, it's suddenly Wednesday
    when you cross the idl.
     If you're leaving Japan on a Monday morning to fly east, it's suddenly Sunday when you
    cross the idl.
