Introduction Geographers use all sorts of tools to help them investigate their questions. Some common tools they use are: Maps Globes Atlases Aerial Photographs Satellite Photographs Information Graphics GIS (Geographic Information Systems)

Maps A map is a flat representation of a part of Earth.

Maps use projection to display a round object (Earth) on a flat surface (map) Cartographers (map makers) have long struggled to find the most accurate projection to use on maps.

Atlas An atlas is a book of maps.

Atlas An atlas contains maps of the world or a region of the world Some atlases also include more information about the places they include in the maps Atlases can be very helpful for traveling, instead of bringing many maps, you can bring one atlas.

Globe A globe is a model of the Earth used to avoid distortions in spatial relations on the world.

Globe Maps of the world are distorted during the process of plotting a round object on a flat surface A globe is round, so it remains accurate The globe provides an accurate scale of how far apart locations are A globe can be used to compare the size of different locations

Aerial Photography Aerial photographs are photographs taken from the sky and used to take measurements or create maps

Aerial Photographs Aerial photographs can be taken from airplanes, balloons, or even kites. You can download satellite photos from USGS at http://www.earthexplorer.usgs.gov

Satellite Photographs Satellite photos are like aerial photos but taken from space.

Information Graphics Information graphics or infographics are visual representations of data.

Infographics Infographics show information using pictures or symbols They can be as simple as a bar graph or they can be very complex

GIS (Geographic Information System) GIS is a computer based program used to store, manage, and analyze data.

GIS (Geographic Information System) A GIS map is more than a map because it can pull up a lot of information Geographers use GIS to help make decisions Imagine you wanted to make sure schools were not near any factories that might pollute the air With a GIS mapping, geographers can use the database (place that stores information) to show where all the schools are and also show where all the the factories are The GIS helps geographers see how information relates to locations

Reflection What are some examples of how you would use these geography tools?
