9 Remote Sensing Remote Sensing - technology used to create maps, without having to physically touch the territory being described. Often deployed from a plane or satellite.

10 For each of the following Map Projections consider… 1. Why is this Map type valuable? 2. What is the purpose of this type of Map? 3. What information does / can this Map convey?

11 THE LAW OF MAPS You cannot unfold a GLOBE equally!!! There will always be some degree of distortion!!! Shape / Size vs. Direction

12 Mercator Projection

13 Robinson Projection

14 Fuller Projection

15 Azimuthal Projection

16 Contour Lines

17 DOT MAP

18 Isoline Map

19 Choropleth Map

21 Cartogram Map

22 World Map of Political Borders

23 Cartogram Map – World Population Borders/Area distorted to show data

24 Cartogram Map Transforms Space (of political unit) Borders/Area distorted to show data Greatest value for some type of data becomes largest mass of area
