Comparing The Mercator And The Goode's Projection

* Open the globe explorer. You are encouraged to use the Terrestrial Coordinate Explorers link which opens both simulators at the same time for the following two questions. Familiarize yourself with the features noting that they are very similar to those in the flat map explorer.

Your answers to parts A and B should be different. Explain why. Answer: Flat map is laid out in a flat grid map and the globe is an interactive ‘globe’ that shows true position.

The main function of these maps is identifying the area that is suitable for building an education center on McNabs Island. I divided my analysis maps into three parts which are slope and geology, environment and cultural sites, and microclimate. For the slope and geology map, I combined the slope, bedrock and surficial geology together because I think all of them can majorly determine and describe the topography. Bedrock and surficial geology are the materials that are under the ground. They might form different topography by the geological action including weathering and eroding processes. Also, the slopes can decide whether the land is a plain or a hill. Furthermore, I think slope and geology can risk of the environmental hazards like

Boyer and Nissenbaum use multiple maps to prove their argument that geographic location played a major role in the

In 1992, however, there were no blank spots on the map - not in Alaska, not anywhere. But Chris, with his idiosyncratic logic, came up with an elegant solution to this dilemma: he simply got rid of the map.” (Krakauer 174) Chris wanted to entrust his own sense of direction rather than whatever the map says. This also could have prevented his death because if he’d had a map he would’ve seen the cable and basket that spanned over the Teklanika River and he could have

Instead of maps we use navigation systems, which tell us where to go and what the

The first map that I drew is about, the space I inhabited in the past, which is Mexico City. In this part of my life I resided in a very residential area- one that in the United States could

At first sight, this map requires some effort in order to be able to read such handwriting that is displayed, but it is clear that the map portrays the location of the New England colonies and the land structure. Although this map is not very clear, some of the northern colonies are labeled such

Cartographers use inset maps to give the reader more information. Sometimes they are zoomed in, but other times they are zoomed out. Cartographers divide the globe into four hemispheres - north, south, east, and west.

Compared Eckert II projection and Eckert IV projection, I think that Eckert IV pro-jection seems to be best to serve industries. In Eckert II projections, shape is not pre-served, area is preserved, direction is distorted everywhere, and discontinuities exist at the equator. Therefore, the distance between two points cannot be measured ex-actly. In contrast, Eckert IV projection is a pseudo cylindrical equal-area projection. Shapes are stretched north-south 40 percent along the equator, relative to the east–west dimension, area is equivalent, direction is distorted everywhere, and scale is dis-torted north–south 40 percent along the equator relative to the east–west dimension. Therefore, this projection is useful for world map, and the distance

This map is split into portions, the fantasy and the real. This is seen in the two separate scales on the map. The smaller scale is in

Maps are summarized real word for particular purposes and humans read maps to make a decision in real world. The position of map reader is essential for finding relevant information through the map. Therefore, the map reader position was explicitly indicated in the

How should the perceptual maps be interpreted? Is the location for Italian meals good or bad?

“[W]hen I was a little chap I had a passion for maps. I would look for hours at South America, or Africa, or Australia, and lose myself in all the glories of

The aim of this investigation was to develop an understanding of true bearings and the coordinate geographic system. The use of online mapping tools was needed to help develop skills.
