Equivalent projection + example - THE CORRECT ANSWER-allows for
comparing the surfaces of the Earth within the map, since the
areas of the continents are accurate
the shapes of the continents are distorted
ex. Mollweide or Gall-Peters
Conformal projection + example - THE CORRECT ANSWER-the angles
between positions are preserved so that ships can navigate from
place to place and know how far it is going to be from where
they are
land area is distorted
ex. Mercator
, Considering the case of Africa and Greenland, describe how
map projections might influence the perspective of the map
viewer? - THE CORRECT ANSWER-mercator projection is not an equal-
area projection and distorts the relative size of landmasses,
exaggerating the poles
How was the metre first defined? - THE CORRECT ANSWER-one ten-
millionth the size from the length of the equator to the North
Pole
How is the metre defined now? - THE CORRECT ANSWER-defined as
the length that light travels in a fraction of a second
The name of the unit that is equal to 1000nm - THE CORRECT
ANSWER-1 micrometre
Small scale map - THE CORRECT ANSWER-covers a more area, but
with not as much as detail
Large scale map - THE CORRECT ANSWER-covers a small area but with
great detail and accuracy
Two ways scale can be indicated on a map - THE CORRECT ANSWER-
bar scale
ratio scale
What kind of map scale would be appropriate for representing
large countries and/or continents? For a city? For a
