Question
Explain the functions of the north line and legend on a map.
✓
Answer
The direction on a map is measured with the help of the north line. All maps have a key or a legend that explains the colours, signs, and symbols used in them. The equator (0° latitude) divides the earth into the hemispheres — the northern and the southern hemispheres. All lines of latitude are measured from the equator.
