The Geographer’s Tools Mr. Aaron BBS

Maps and Globes A geographer’s tools include maps, globes, and data that can be displayed in a variety of ways. Globe: Three-dimensional representation of earth. It provides a way to view the earth as it travels through space.

Maps and Globes Maps: Two-dimension graphic representations of selected parts of the earth’s surface.

Maps and Globes Map Projection: A manner to draw the earth’s surface that reduces distortion caused by presenting a round earth on flat paper. Cartographer: A mapmaker

Types of Maps There are three types of maps General Reference Maps (Topographic Map): A representation of natural and man-made features on earth. Thematic Maps: Emphasize specific kinds of information, such as climate or population density. Navigational Maps (Charts): Assist users to plot a course through water or air.

Technology Technology helps cartographer’s create maps by using surveying methods, such as satellites, geographic information systems (GIS), and global positioning system (GPS).
