Quetions
7. The differences between absolute and relative location is that, absolute location is the exact location of a place and relative locations are not exact.
8. We have days and nights because when the Earth rotates around the sun some parts of the world get a little amount of some and the others get a lot ammount of sun.
9. We have seasons because of the angle and where the sun hits
10. Is winter in boston because there is higher ammount of sun in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and in Melbourne, Australia. There is different seasons ion the different places of the world because of the equator. For example if is winter in Greenland is summer in Brazil.

Questions
7. The difference between absolute and relative location is the absolute location is an exact location on the map and relative location is comparing two places.
8. We have days and nights because of the rotation of the Earth.
9. The reason way we have season is because the Earth revolution, because the Earth goes around the Earth. Another reason why we have season is because the angle of the Sun light. For example if the Sun light is pointing to the North it will be summer in the North and winter in the South. Its because of the angle of the Earth too.
10. When is winter in Boston is summer in Rio de Janeiro Brazil and in Melbourne, Australia. Because when is summer in North is winter in the South is like integers, Because there is positive integers and negative integers like if there were a mirror in 0 just like in the equator the North is the positive and the South is the negative this means that when is summer in the North is winter in the South.

1. A change in shape, sizes, or position of a place when it is shown on a map.
2. They are explorers that study the natural features of the land, the sea and even the sky.
3. A way of representing the spherical Earth on a flat surface.
4. North, South, East, West.
5. Southeast, Northeast, Southwest, Northwest.
6. An element of a map that shows how a unit of distance on the map (such as an inch) relates to actual distance on the surface of Earth.
7. The difference between absolute and relative location is that an absolute location is the precise point where a place is located on Earth and a relative location is where a place is located in relation to another place.
8. Because when the world rotates one part of the world gets dark and the other part gets illuminated. The part that gets dark means that is night and the part that gets illuminated means that is day.
9. We have seasons because of the tilt, the Northern and Southern Hemispheres receive different amounts of sunlight as Earth moves around the sun. These differences create Earth’s season.
10. Winter Is in Boston, but summer in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Melbourne, Australia because the sun right now is illuminating Brazil, Rio de Janeiro and Melbourne, Australia and in Boston there’s a kind of shadow so it’s dark and that means that the sun is not warming Boston so its cold.

2. Geographer: a person who Study maps.
3. Map Projection: a way of representing the spherical earth on a flat surface.
4. Cardinal point: the direction of a points.
5. Intermediate points: northeast , southeast , southwest , and northwest.
6.map scale: the map scale tells you how to read the distances on the map
7.The difference between absolute location and relative location is that absolute location you can finding in any place in the world. relative location maps also show the relative location of on earth.
8.we have nights and days because whet the earth move it make’s light cause the sun and whet one part is light the other part is night.
9.we have season because the northern and the southern Hemispheres receive different a mounts of sunlight as earth moves around the sun. these differences create earth seasons.
10.in Boston there’s winter and in Brazil is summer Because the equator divide the winter and summer.
