1) Topographic maps are different most other maps because they show us the lie of the land.
2) Map dates are important because things change over time, especially man-made features. (The older a map, the more likely it is that old buildings will have disappeared, or new buildings will have appeared, etc.)
3) Natural features are more reliable than man-made features because natural features do not change as rapidly.
4a) 2cm = 1km |
4b) 10cm = 5km |
3cm = 1.5km |
7.7cm = 3.85km |
5) Advantage: There is greater detail. |
Disadvantage: You will often need to carry more maps. |
6) 

The importance of being able to read maps. (Perhaps Mr K should have let the students navigate?)
