EARTH GLOBES AND WORLD MAPS

On an Earth blobe, we can see that the Earth is shaped like a sphere an is slightly tilted to one side on its axis.

• axis: imaginary line from the North Pole to the South Pole passing through the centre of the Earth
• Equator: imaginary line around the middle of the Earth. It divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.

On a world map we represent continents and oceans. Continents are large masses of land separated by oceans.
