The Key, or Legend, or a map gives a list of the symbols used on the map and what they represent. There is a fairly standard set of symbols used for different types of map so that anyone looking at the map can understand what it is being shown. For example, on a weather map a cold front is shown as a black line with semi-circular bumps (in blue if coloured), a warm front is shown as a black line with triangles (in red if coloured) and an occluded front is shown as a black line with alternate semi-circular bumps and triangles.
