Also known as a key, it tells what the map symbols stand for

Legend

This has more influence on Earth's gravitational pull than the sun, because it is closer than the sun

The Moon
300

Often confused with weathering, but this involved movement of matter that has been weathered away.

Erosion

300

These types of rocks form by heat, pressure, or both.

Soil

This type of map shows the land surface using contour lines

Happens during quarter moons, resulting in small or moderate tide changes.

Neap Tide

500

This is the process of eroded materials being deposited in a new location.

Deposition

500

These make up rocks and have properties including color, texture, luster, streak, and hardness.
