|
| Equal Area Projection |
projection that keeps the size or area intact but distorts shape |
| Goodes-Homsoline Projection |
is an equal area map |
| Goodes-Homsoline Projection |
breaks up the globe into continents and seperates the oceans |
| Conformal Maps |
maps that distort the area but keep the shapes intact |
| Lambert Conic Projection |
is a conformal map |
| Lambert Conic Projection |
projection on which the distance between latitude lines increases the farther one moves away from the common line of latitude |
| Mercator Map |
map in which all the lines of latitude and longitude meet in right angles |
| Effect of Right Angles |
forces the top and bottom of the globe to stretch out, creating more distortion of the polar regions |
| Distortion of Mercator Map |
greatly exaggerates the landforms around the polar regions |
| Mercator Map |
is useful for determinig distance on the surface of the earth |
| Effect of Distortion on Poles |
Greenwich looks as though it is the size of Africa |
| Four Map Classes |
cylindrical,planar,conic,and oval |
| Cylindrical Map |
shows true direction but loses distance |
| Cylindrical Class Map |
mercator map |
| Planar Projection |
shows true direction and examines the earth from one point |
| Planar Projection |
any azimuthal map |
| Azimuthal Projection |
a map projection in which the plane is the most developable surface |
| Planar Projection |
polar projection |
| Polar Projection |
all points from the pole go either north from the south pole point or south from the north pole point |
| Conic Projection |
puts a cone over the Earth and tries to keep distance intact but loses directional analities |
| Oval Projection |
is a combination of the cylindrica; and conic projection |
| Oval Projection |
mollewide projection |
| Thematic Maps |
map that displays one or more variables |
| Thematic Maps |
are used to determine geographic properties |
| Flow-Line Maps |
determine movementsuch as migration |
| Flow-Line Maps |
thematic map |
| Choropleth Maps |
puts data into a spacial format and are useful for determining demographic data by assigning colors or patterns to areas |
| Demographic Data |
infant mortality rates |
| Choropleth Maps |
thematic map |
| Choropleth Maps |
chart and assign data by size |
| Choropleth Maps |
often shows population by size |
| Choropleth Maps |
shows countries with a latrger population appear larger on the map |
| Four Greatest Popultaions |
China, India, United States, Indonesia, Brazil |
| Dot Maps |
thematic map |
| Dot Maps |
uses points to show the precise locations of specific observations and occurrences |
| Dot Maps |
may show occurences like crimes, car accidents, or births |
| Proportional Symbol Maps |
thematic map |
| Proportional Symbol Maps |
map in which the size of a chosen symbol indicates the relative magnitude of some statistical value for a given geographic region |
| Isoline Map |
thematic map |
| Isoline Map |
a map with continuos lines joining points with the same value |
| Isoline |
a line that connects points of the same value |
| Other Thematic Maps |
area class maps, area symbol maps, digital images, and point symbol maps |
| Mental Map |
a map that the person beleives to exist |
| Mental Map |
proves uefull tools in communication |
| Cognitive Map |
an inmage of a portion of the Earth's surface that an individual creates in his or her mind |
| Fuller Projection |
a type of map projection that maintains the accurate size and shape of landmasses but completely rearanges direction |
| Fuller Projection |
the four cardinal directions have no meaning |
| Four Cardinal Directions |
north, south, east, and west |
| Map Projection |
a amathematical method that involves transferring the Earth's sphere onto a flat surface |
| Map Projection |
has distortion |
| Preference Map |
map that displays individual preferences for certain places |
| Reference Map |
mapthat shows reference information for a particular place |
| Reference Map |
is useful for finding landmarks and navigating |
| Robinson Projection |
projection that attempts to balance several possible projection errors |
| Robinson Projection |
does not completely maintain area shape, distance, or direction but minimizes erors in each |
| Topographic Map |
map that uses isolines to represent constant elevations |
