Question

Create a sketch map of the world. For a sketch map, the landforms do not need to be exactly perfect, but you should include the major features of the continents, along with a general representation of the size and shape of each.

Must include:
a) A rough outline of the continents, and labels for each: North America, South America,
Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and Antarctica
b) A title
c) A compass rose to show direction
d) Labels for the oceans: Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, and Arctic
e) Label (and draw as needed) the following bodies of water: Caribbean Sea,
Mediterranean Sea, Caspian Sea, Arabian Sea, Black Sea, Hudson Bay, and the Gulf of
Mexico
f) Draw and label the following rivers: Mississippi, Nile, Amazon
g) Label the Indian Subcontinent and the Cape of Good Hope
h) Draw and label major islands in the Caribbean, including Cuba and Hispaniola
i) Draw and label the Equator and Prime Meridian

Answer 1

To create the sketch map, draw rough outlines of the continents, include a title and compass rose, label the oceans, draw and label significant bodies of water and rivers, and detail other specified features such as major Caribbean islands, the Indian Subcontinent, the Cape of Good Hope, Equator, and Prime Meridian.

Step-by-step explanation:

To create a sketch map of the world that includes the major features of the continents and the specified bodies of water and landforms, you will begin by drawing rough outlines of the continents. The sizes and shapes should be general, but make sure to represent the larger continents, such as Asia and Africa, as bigger than the others like Europe and Australia. Also, remember that Antarctica is the fifth-largest continent and has a distinct shape.

Label each continent accordingly: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and Antarctica. Include a title at the top of your map, like 'World Sketch Map.' Draw and position a compass rose to indicate direction, commonly on either top corner of the map. Label the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, and Arctic Oceans. For bodies of water, include and label the Caribbean Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Caspian Sea, Arabian Sea, Black Sea, Hudson Bay, and the Gulf of Mexico. Sketch and label the Mississippi, Nile, and Amazon Rivers.

For additional details, label the Indian Subcontinent and the Cape of Good Hope. Highlight major islands in the Caribbean, including Cuba and Hispaniola. Lastly, draw and label the Equator as a horizontal line cutting across the center of your map and the Prime Meridian as a vertical line from the top to the bottom.
