Cartographers – mapmakers.
Map Projections – ways of drawing the earth’s surface.
a. Mercator Projection – shows true shapes of landmasses, but distorts size, especially in places far from the equator.
b. Robinson Projection – shows more of the correct sizes and shapes of landmasses, but does not distort size as much as a Mercator Projection.
