Today we're going to learn how to use an atlas. An atlas is collection of different types of maps. Sometimes these maps show us geographical features like major rivers, oceans, and mountain ranges. Other times, these maps may show us political boundaries like countries, states, and regions. Your task is to look through the atlases provided to research and discover interesting facts.
Choose either one country or one Australian state to answer the following questions:
1. What is the country or state's name?
2. Where is it located? Think about what else is near it.
3. What is this place known for? Is it famous or important for a particular reason?
4. What are some major geographical features?
5. What are some major landmarks (man-made areas or attractions)?
Be sure your answers are in complete sentences and include capitals where necessary.
This site will also help you to check your answers and elaborate on these basic ideas.
