Answer to Question 1

High latitudes - polar areas
Middle latitudes - areas midway between a pole and the equator
Low latitudes - areas near the equator

Answer to Question 2

Maps allow us to get information, to see patterns of distribution, and to compare these patterns with one another. But no map can be a complete record of a given area. In a process called cartographic abstraction, the map's cartographer chooses important details to convey the map's information. As a map user, you must keep in mind that no map can be complete and that many details must be simplified or omitted to keep a map legible.
