Cartography Maps v. Globes Maps v. Globes –Map projections  Mercator –Distortion increases in size and distance as you move from equator. Useful for early sailors because of true directions and shapes  Goode’s Interrupted Equal Area –True size and shape, distance is distorted  Robinson –Flattens out polar areas

Mercator (1569) Positive: used by sailors because it preserves linear scale and allows straight course lines. Also preserves angles and shapes Negative: scale is distorted especially towards the poles

Interrupted and Robinson Projections An equal area image. Problem? A compromise between equal area and conformal Interrupted projection
