2. Maps VS Globes -2-D method of showing the 3-D Earth -Distorts size of continents and oceans since it is flat In Maps

3. Maps VS Globes -Does not distort shape of the Earth -Can have ridges to show changes in elevation In Globes

4. Maps VS Globes -Lines of longitude and latitude -Absolute location -Compass rose -Find places and directions Found in Both

5. How are Globes Made

6. Let’s Look at Maps…

7. Parts of a Map Compass Rose -Is a design on a map that shows direction Legend -Is a small table accompanying the map that explains the symbols that are used on the map Lines of Longitude -Lines that run from north to south, 0 degrees is located in Greenwich England known as the Prime Meridian Lines of Latitude -Lines that run from east to west, 0 degrees is the Equator Scale -Is the ratio between the distance between 2 points found on a map compared to the actual distance of these points in the real world

8. Images Sketch the following images next to each definition… Compass Rose Legend Scale

9. Parts of a Map

10. Longitude and Latitude Cut and Paste Longitude and Latitude wksht in your Notebook

11. Map Projections Map Projections: A map projection is a way of showing the curved surface of Earth on a flat map -Mercator Projection -Homolosine Projection -Robinson Projection

12. Mercator Projection Named after mapmaker Gerardus Mercator Accurately shows direction and shape of Earth’s landmasses Distorts distance and size

13. Homolosine Projection Developed in 1923 by John Paul Homolosine Projects equal area Distorts ocean size to not distort continent size/shape

14. Robinson Projection Developed by Arthur H. Robinson in 1963 Shows correct shape and size of landmasses for most parts of the world Does not show direction as well as Mercator Distorts size of North and South Pole

15. Types of Maps

16. What different maps do we use to see natural and human made features? Political Maps -Shows the features people have created such as cities, states, provinces, territories or countries

17. What different maps do we use to see natural and human made features? Physical Maps -Shows the landforms and bodies of water found in particular areas; colors are used to show elevation

18. What different maps do we use to see natural and human made features? Thematic Maps -These maps show certain information about a place or region

19. Map Projections

20. How have maps changed overtime? The first map dates back to 2300 B.C As explorers mapped the world, the maps changed with them Most modern maps are made with GPS (Global Positioning Systems)

21. THEN…

22. NOW

23. Table Discussion… What are some important parts of a map? Identify some types of map projections? What makes them different/similar? What are some specific types of maps?
