 Turn to page 18.  Review the term “available.  Read pages  And in your journals answer the Reading Check question on page 19.

1. Describe a Mercator projection. Mercator maps expand the area between the longitude near the poles. 2. Who were these maps useful to and why? 3. To sailors, because they showed direction accurately. 4. In your table groups, discuss the problem with Mercator projections. 5. Distances and size become distorted the farther the area is from the Equator.

1. In your table groups, describe an equal- area projection. 2. Shows the correct size of landmasses but alters their shapes. 3. Why do geographers believe the Robinson projection is the best world map available? 4. If you were planning to travel by ship from Los Angeles to Hong Kong, which map projection would you use? Why? 5. Mercator because its accurate directions are useful for navigation.

Learning Target  I will learn two different types of maps and their advantages and disadvantages. Homework none Exit Task On a half sheet of paper write down why the advantages of a Mercator Map.
