2. CARTOGRAPHY  The creation of maps including projection and design.

3. MAP PROJECTION  Definition: representing the spherical earth on a plane surface  It is impossible to transform a sphere into something flat without creating distortions in the 2-D image.  Geographers use numerous mathematical equations to produce map projections.

4. MERCATOR PROJECTION  Fairly accurate however not with size or distance ( Specifically at the poles)

5. CONIC PROJECTION  Fairly accurate overall

6. INTERRUPTED PROJECTION  Show’s true size and shape  However distances are inaccurate

7. ROBINSON’S PROJECTION  Overall fairly accurate  However poles distorted

8. AZIMUTHAL  Size accurate  Shows distances over poles, often used for air navigation
