2. Empty Pac

4. Site and situation  Site = physical attributes of a place  Situation = relative location of a place relative to other places and human activities

6. Maps are….  All maps are reductions, simplifications and abstractions of the real world.

7. Maps  Virtual and real

10. Cartography is….  The art, science, and technology of making maps.

11. Maps (usually) have certain elements  Title  Legend  Scale  Border  Scale  Insets

14. Projections

18. Projections  Mercator – conformal  Azimuthal equidistant - (directions and distance from center point)  Peters – equal area

19. Types of Maps  This is different from projections!!  These are styles of maps.  5 main types… - Choropleth - dot - graduated circle - cartograms - topographic - isoline
