Geographers Scientists Hypothesis Scientific Method Ex. “Why do people settle in a particular place.” Scientific Method Collect information to prove or disprove that hypothesis. Global Warming?

Collecting Information Advances in technology Satellites Remote Sensing Google Earth Census Data Every 10 years since 1790

Displaying Data Globes: Maps: Accurate method of showing the entire surface of the earth. What are some disadvantages? Maps: Flat drawing of all or part of the earths surface The most primitive maps were sketched in the sand or soil. Shows Topography: features of the earth’s surface.

Map Scale Level of detail and the amount of area covered on the map depend on its map scale. Relationship of a feature’s size on a map to its actual size on Earth Map scale is presented in three ways… Ratio or Fraction Scale: Ex. 1:24,000 or 1/24,000 Number on left is one unit of distance, while number on right represents same unit of distance on Earth’s surface. First decision a cartographer faces is how much of Earth’s surface to depict on the map. Ratio or Fraction scale- If you measure the distance between Point A and Point B as 1 inch, then their distance apart on Earth’s surface is 24,000 inches.

Map Scale Written Scale: Ex. 1 inch equals 1 mile Number on left is one unit of distance, while number on right represents a different unit of distance on Earth’s surface. Graphic Scale: Usually consists of a bar line marked to show distance on Earth’s surface Distance between two points can be overlaid on the scale bar to determine the distance on Earth’s surface.
