The statement is false. The imaginary line that passes through the North and South Poles, upon which the Earth rotates, is called the Earth's axis. The Prime Meridian is an imaginary line that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole, but it is specifically designated as 0 degrees longitude and is not related to the Earth's rotation.

The statement is false. A person's perception of the world is not referred to as a "regional map." A regional map specifically focuses on a certain area and its features, whereas a person's perception of the world is more of a subjective viewpoint or interpretation.

The correct response is **to figure out location**.

Grid systems in ancient Greece and China were primarily used for mapping and navigation, helping to determine the location of places and the relationships between different geographic features.

The correct response is **scale**.

The scale on a map indicates the relationship between distances on the map and actual distances in the real world, such as "one inch on the map equals one mile in real life."

The correct response is **"all lands."**

The name Pangaea comes from Greek, where "pan" means "all" and "Gaia" means "Earth" or "land." Pangaea refers to the supercontinent that existed hundreds of millions of years ago when all of the Earth's landmasses were joined together.
