Exercises

  1. Write the name of the region or state shown and add a map title.
  2. Draw a compass rose and indicate north on the worksheet.
  3. Use a trusted current atlas to label three features relevant to this location. Record your atlas edition or website and source date.
  4. Explain one difference between a simplified outline map and an official geographic or administrative boundary map.
  5. Does this outline identify every island or administrative subdivision? Explain why small-scale generalized map data may omit details.

Teacher answer and source-check guide

1. Indonesia. 2. Check that the compass points are labeled consistently with the map orientation.

3. Answers depend on the chosen current atlas, region and year; compare each label with the stated source. No invented feature locations are provided.

4. A simplified outline can exclude small islands, complex coastlines, internal boundaries and disputed features.

5. No. Coarse-scale geometry intentionally omits detail; administrative boundaries require a different source layer.
