F. Geography tools

We live in Hong Kong. But where is Hong Kong? To answer this

question we need a map.

Maps are the first tools we use in Geography. Maps help us to find

and describe the location (位置) of Hong Kong and other places in the

world. Location is very important in Geography.

There are different kinds of maps in different shapes and sizes. For

example, there are pocket maps and wall maps. There are atlases (地圖

集) and globes (地球儀). An atlas is a book of maps. A globe is a world

map in the shape of a ball. Atlases and globes are two special tools used

in Geography.
