Name two tools used to find directions?
A globe is a map of the world that shows land and water. A compass rose is a symbol on a map that shows directions like north, south, east, and west. A compass rose can also show intermediate directions like northeast and southwest.
Globes and Compass Rose
Globe: A large, round model of the earth, or a similar planet, showing countries, oceans, and other geographical features. Compass Rose: A figure on a compass or nautical chart that indicates direction and is marked with the points of the compass. Latitude: A geographical coordinate that specifies the north-south position of a point on the Earth's surface.
Concepts:
Compass roses were often used by sailors to navigate the open seas and were originally used by the Chinese in the 11th century. Globes were first used by the Ancient Greeks in the 3rd century BC, although they were made of wood and had little accuracy. Ancient Egyptians were the first people to use a form of a map, by painting symbols on the wall of a tomb, depicting the surrounding area.
