1. Map Skills Key Terms | 地图技能核心术语
A strong foundation in map skills helps you read and interpret geographical information accurately.
扎实的地图技能基础有助于你准确阅读和解读地理信息。
Scale – The ratio between a distance on a map and the corresponding distance on the ground. Tip: 'Scale' reminds you of a ruler showing how much the real world has been reduced.
比例尺 – 地图上的距离与地面实际距离的比值。记忆：'Scale' 就像一把尺子，显示现实世界被缩小了多少倍。
Grid reference – A system of numbered lines (eastings and northings) used to find exact locations on a map. Remember: 'Along the corridor and up the stairs' – go east first, then north.
网格坐标 – 利用带编号的线（东距线和北距线）来在地图上精确定位。记忆：'先横向走，再竖向走'——先读东距，后读北距。
Contour lines – Lines joining points of equal height above sea level. They never cross. Think 'con' = connected, and 'tour' = journey around hills of the same height.
等高线 – 连接海拔高度相同点的线，它们永远不会相交。联想：'等'即同等，'高'指高度，'线'环绕同高的山体。
Compass points – The four main directions: north, south, east, west (N, S, E, W). For precision, use eight-point compass (NE, SE, SW, NW). Mnemonic: 'Never Eat Soggy Waffles' for clockwise order.
罗盘方位 – 四个基本方向：北、南、东、西（N, S, E, W）。更精确时使用八方位（NE, SE, SW, NW）。口诀：'北东南西'顺时针，或'Never Eat Soggy Waffles'。
Relief – The shape and height of the land, usually shown by contours, colour shading or spot heights. Associate 'relief' with 'relief map' that pops out.
地形起伏 – 地表的形状和高度，通常用等高线、分层设色或高程点表示。联想'relief'（浮雕）——地形像浮雕一样凸现。
Legend / Key – A box on a map that explains the symbols and colours used. It unlocks the map like a key.
图例 – 地图上解释所用符号和颜色的方框。它就像一把钥匙，解开地图之谜。
2. River Processes & Landforms | 河流过程与地貌
Rivers shape the landscape through erosion, transportation and deposition. Key terms help you describe these changes.
河流通过侵蚀、搬运和沉积塑造地貌。关键术语帮助你描述这些变化。
Source – The starting point of a river, often in upland areas. Remember: the source is where the water 'springs' forth.
源头 – 河流的起点，通常位于高地。想：源头的'源'就是水流'涌出'的地方。
Mouth – Where
