Task 1: Look at the map below and determine coordinates. Task 2: Use map scales.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the determination of geographic coordinates from a map, identifying settlements, calculating distances using map scales, and providing explanations about a location in the news.
Answer
Coordinates: 26°11' S, 28°03' E. Map is regional.
- Johannesburg's coordinates are 26°11' S, 28°03' E. For Task 2, the map is likely regional, considering the areas depicted. Use the line scale for distance calculations and convert using the map's scale ratio.
Answer for screen readers
- Johannesburg's coordinates are 26°11' S, 28°03' E. For Task 2, the map is likely regional, considering the areas depicted. Use the line scale for distance calculations and convert using the map's scale ratio.
More Information
The coordinates of Johannesburg and other areas can be determined from their proximity to labeled grid lines on a map. Map scales help translate map distances into real-world measurements.
Tips
A common mistake is not correctly converting map measurements using the scale provided.
