Maps

There is only one accurate depiction of the earth, without distortion - a globe Map: An ATTEMPT to represent on a flat surface the distribution of certain elements, both natural and manmade, which appear on the Earth’s surface.

Mercator Map

Mercator (Cylindrical) Map Accurate at equator, distorted at poles Take the blank spaces on a flat globe and fill them in with water or land

Mercator Map

Polar Map

Polar (Plane) Map Accurate at one pole, not accurate at the equator Only one pole visible

Polar Map

Conic Map Accurate at the middle latitudes

Robinson Map

Attempts to distort everything less, but because of that everything is distorted Created by National Geographic Magazine for their 100 th anniversary

Robinson Map

Peters Map

Accurate in size, but distorts shape a great deal Each country is exactly proportionate in size

Peters Map

Other Types of Maps Most maps put Africa in the center but they don’t have to Cartogram: Displays information by changing countries sizes and shapes. A cartogram is not really a map, but more like a chart or graph
