Toposheets are large scale maps, which show detail of landforms, river patterns, land use, settlement patterns etc. These are prepared on actual field survey. Which institute in India makes toposheets of different parts of India ?

Latitude is the angular distance of a place north or south of the equator. Latitude is marked in degrees. On the globe, longest line of latitude is of

Latitudes are parallel to each other, equator being 0 degree . In Southern Hemisphere longest latitude is 23½ degree South, (South of the equator). This latitude is also known as
latitudes-are-parallel-to-each-other-equator-being-00-and-the-longest-one-23-0s-south-of-the-equator-latitude-is-also-known-as
All the latitudes are parallel to each other, equator being 00 and the longest one, while at north or south pole it is 900N or 900S and just like a dot. The line of latitude located 23½0N of equator is known as

Latitude also helps us to know the place on distinct heat belt. The area lying between Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn is called

The lines running north to south passing through the poles are called lines of longitude. The Prime meridian is the line of longitude whose angular distance is defined as 00. This prime meridian is also called

The surface of the earth is not uniform. It has mountains, plateaus, hills, plains, seas etc. The features of elevation and depressions are known as relief features. These relief features on map can be expressed by
