is a collectio n of m ap s that can be us ed to find information abo ut your world. The very latest data has been collected to mak e these maps. Hundred s of sat ellite im ages were used to map th e dramatic sh rin king of Eart h 's for est s. The latest cens us data from each a nd every coun tr y was used to build a picture of Eart h's current population. T he m ost recent scienti fic research was used to crea te th em atic map s of continental drift, th e ocea n floor, th e envi ro nme n t and our natural resources. Look closely an d yo u will see that th e informat ion fo r th e map s comes from many di fferent so urces suc h as NASA, th e U.S. Department of th e Inter ior or th e Wo rld Bank. You can use th ese map s to explo re yo u r world, discover co n nec tions bet ween places, and see relation ships between places a nd peoples. But thi s a tlas is m o re than ju st a wealth of information . It is fun to look a t to o. You will find th at th ese ma ps an d ph o to graphs can evo ke im ages of far away pla ces. T hey in vite you to pause an d to dream . With a m ap you can journey th e world without ever getting wet, cold, tir ed or hungry. You ca n im agine grea t adven tu res an d not leave th e co m fort of your favorite ch air!

To get th e most o ut of this a tlas you need to know how to read maps. Just as you learned to read wo rds like th e o nes on thi s page, you can learn how to read th e lan guage of maps. The map skills yo u need to kn ow ar e: 1. locating pla ces 2. measuring di stance 3. finding directi on 4. read ing m ap sym bols

Finding Di rection To find directi ons use th e m ap's compass rose. You can also lise lines oflati tude an d longi tude to find directio n . Every line oflongi tude points n orth a nd so uth. Every lin e oflati tud e points east and west. You can learn m ore abo u t la titude and longitud e on pages 8-9. Readin g Map Symbols Every m ap sym bo l shows the locati o n of some thing. It could be so m ething as large as a conti nent o r as sm all as a bird-house. A dot sh ows th e locat ion of a city. A blu e line shows the co urse of a river. Bu t map sym bols are not t he same on all maps. One map m ight sho w a city with a sq uare. Map legends or keys help explain t he symbols used on a map. You ca n find o ut m o re abou t legends an d th e m a p sym bo ls used in this atlas on page 6.
Special Features o f this Atlas Th is atl as has been designed and organi zed to be easy fo r you to use. Here is a "ro ad map" to your atlas .
The Blu e T ab Ba r So mewhere along the top blue tab ba r of each sp read yo u will see a dark er blu e tab . It tells you
th e subject of th e map or ma ps you are look in g at. The ligh t blue ta bs tell you the subjects of the sur ro un ding m ap spreads. If, for example, you are loo king at the World Clim ate map and would lik e to co mpare it to th e World Vegeta tio n m ap, you can use the tabs to find that map q uickly and easily.
Map Skills
Look at t he blu e tab bar above and you will see that you a re in t he m a p skills sectio n. This sec
tion should be called "Read Me First " beca use it is here that you will fin d all sorts of helpful inform a tio n about maps and how to read them. Even if yo u are a p racticed m ap reader, read t his sect ion ! The Wo rl d In th is section you will find a world poli tical map, a wo rld physical m ap, an d 35 world the matic m aps. T he world political m ap shows the most u p to date na tional boundaries. On the wo rld physical m ap yo u can see huge desert s,
great moun tai n ran ges, a n d even th e sea ice that covers much of th e Arcti c. The th ematic maps inclu d e t he most up to date mforrnanon on everything from the world di stribunon of com p u ters and televisions to life expectancy, religion an d literacy. If you want to see the ocean floo r, o r to find wh er e 111 the world vol canoes fo rm , th is IS the sec tio n to look in.

This peculiar-to ou r eyes-a rrangeme nt of continents with its unfamiliar oceans and seas , mountains and plains, and peninsulas and islands reminds us that th e dinosaurs lived in a far different landscape th an our own . As the last dinosaurs receded into memory, the future Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea were becomin g more su bs tan tial
and reco gni zable, and the continents, excep t for Australia and Antarctica, were nearing th eir present latitudes. Within the last 65 million years, most contine n ts nestl ed unhur riedly into th eir current pos iti ons. However, th e Indian su b-co ntine nt "s printed" north, crashing into Asia and bull dozing up the Himalayas. earth 's loftiest mountain range.

Australia's climate IS pr edominately wa rm an d dr y. The northern half of the co untry lies within th e tr opi cs and has very warm condit ion s year ro un d. The so uthern half of th e country lies below th e tropics and expe ne nces a warm su m m er and a cool winter. New Zealand 's climate IS like th at of th e U.S. Pacific No rt hwe st- mi ld and moist. Papua New Guinea and o the r Island nations su rrou nd ing th e equato r have climates th at are m ain ly very warm and moi st year rou nd .
