This document provides information about directions, compass roses, maps, and map projections. It explains key geographic concepts like latitude and longitude as well as how to identify directions on a compass rose. Examples of different compass rose designs are shown. The origins of the magnetic compass in China are discussed. Different types of map projections like the Werner and Mollweide projections are listed. Components of maps like national borders, state borders, and legends are also identified.

- 9. Compass Rose A compass rose is a design on a map that shows directions. It shows north, south, east, west, northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest. On the compass rose, only north is filled in. Fill in the rest of the directions on the compass rose, using the standard abbreviations: •N=North, •S=South, •E=East, •W=West, •NE=Northeast, •NW=Northwest, •SE=Southeast, •SW=Southwest. When north is at the top of the compass rose (as it often is), south is at the bottom, east is on the right, and west is on the left. Northeast is between north and east, northwest is between north and west, southeast is between south and east, and southwest is between south and west. S EW NE SESW NW

- 11. Most historians agree that the magnetic compass originated in China. A Chinese scholar described a magnetic compass in a text dated about 83 AD. The first magnetic compasses designed for navigation were probably developed in the 11th century by navigators in China and Europe. National Maritime Museum/Dorling Kindersley
