personal judgments or beliefs.

or faulty. Valid statements can

to provide hints or clues about

what will happen later in a

Where could you look to find the

route of the Hindenburg from

Germany to New Jersey?

contains a compass rose showing
directions, a scale showing

the world on it. A globe is a more

accurate depiction of the size and
shape of the Earth than a flat
map.
It is important to look at the
legend before using a map for the
first time.
