Brainstorm What is geography? What does climate consist of?
List three things that describe geography What does climate consist of? List three things that contribute to climate What is the difference between revolution and rotation? What is the earth doing in each? How long does it take?

B. Map Projections 1. One serious problem a cartographer faces when making an accurate map of the earth is that ______________________________ _________________________ 2. It is not possible to show the curved surface of the earth on a flat map with ____________ 3. Ways of transferring the curved surface of the earth onto a flat map are _________________ a. All projections are compromises b. They all distort _________, __________, ______________, or _____________ c. Lines of latitude and longitude are shown in different ways the earth is spherical and the map is flat 100% accuracy projections size shape distance direction
