themes of geography.

Go Geography! #2 • 3 CEVs

• Topic: Using Latitude and Longitude: •Turn to pages 8-9 in your World Atlas…

•What does this map tell us? In what ways could a geographer use latitude and longitude for this map?

25

Using Longitude and Latitude on this Map

• Name the country or ocean in which the coordinate falls into (Rally Coach): • 1) 45’N , 105’W 7) 45’N , 120’ E• 2) 60’N , 60’E 8) 90’E , 75’N• 3) 15’S , 75’E 9) 165’E , 15’N• 4) 30’S , 60’W 10) 120’W , 15’N• 5) 30’S , 135’E 11) 0’ , 75’N• 6) 30’N , 45’W 12) 15’N , 15’E

Using Different Types of Maps/Map Projections!

• Different types of reference maps can be used to display various information, which helps geographers study the different themes of Geography.

• Additionally, there are several ways to display the spherical nature of the globe on a flat surface. These Map Projections enable geographers to show the curved surface of the earth on a flat map, however a flat map will usually distort some aspects of the Earth’s surface

• Read the packet and answer the questions that follow having to do with the different types of reference maps and the different map projections geographers use… (use pages 19-23 0f textbook to answer map projection questions)

Map Projections• Projections enable geographers to show the curved surface of the earth on a flat

map• Because the earth is a sphere, a flat map can distort some aspects of the earth’s

surface

• Use pages 22-23 of your textbook to answer the questions about the different types of map projections

Go Geography! #3• 3 CEVs

• Topic: Projection Review!

• Why do geographers use map projections? What are some of the positive and negative aspects of using map projections?

33

Map Projection Review

Projections• Robinson Projection

• Shape: Oval, has latitude and longitude on edges• Good Features: balances distortion of shape and size, so fairly accurate• Problems: still has some land shape and size distortion

Projections• Eckert IV Projection

• Shape: Equal area map – oval • Good Features: Shows sizes of places accurately – good for population

density• Problems: Distorts shapes near the poles so it has shape distortions near

far north and far south

Projections• Mercator Projection

• Shape: Square• Good Features: Shows direction between places accurately – particularly

near the equator• Problems: distorts sizes of continents near poles especially; it has area

distortion

Projections• Lambert Projection

• Shape: Circular• Good Features: shows size accurately at the center; great for showing

poles • Problems: Poor with distance or shape

Projections• Goode’s Homolosine Projection

• Shape: Broken shapes• Good Features: Shows continents as they compare in size• Problems: Distorts shape and size of oceans

Parts of a Map (Page 10-11 0f Atlas)• Map Title - gives a name to a map. Normally, the map title is prominently displayed and

describes the purpose of the map.• Compass Rose - also known as a direction indicator, displays the cardinal directions

(north, south, east, and west) and sometimes intermediate directions (northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest).

• Map Scale - used to relate distance on the map to real distance on the ground. Most maps display the map scale in statute miles and kilometers, although some maps display the map scale in feet, yards, etc.

• Map Legend/Key - also known as a key, is used to describe the symbols found on a map.• Map Symbols - pictures used on a map to represent information.• Lines of Latitude and Lines of Longitude – imaginary lines that measure distance north or

south of the equator (lat.) and east or west of the prime meridian (long.)• Colors – represent a variety of information on a map, usually explained in the map legend

Types of maps• Special Purposes/Thematic Maps• A special purpose map provides nearly any imaginable topic with the

scope being broad or narrow.• General Purpose Map• A general purpose map shows information that is often used by map

readers.

• Political Maps• Shows the features of earth’s surface that humans created• Physical Maps• Shows the types of landforms and bodies of water found in a specific area
