1. CHAPTER 1 Looking at the Earth

5. 34° 3' 8" N / 118° 14' 34" W coordinates of LA

18. Cylindrical Homolosine Map Projection Cont. Homolosine-shows accurate shapes and sizes of the landmasses, distances not correct

19. Robinson-shows entire earth, landmass near the poles look flat Map Projection Cont.

22. Physical map Political map

24. Thematic Qualitative map (colors symbols or lines to show patterns) Thematic Flow-line map Thematic Cartogram Based on data not land

25. Cartographers: Gather Data by Surveying What: elevation,vegi- tation & climate Tools How: Satellites: LAND SAT. & GOES GIS GPS Step 1 in making map theodolite

26. How much detail? Map Scale Ratio scale Ex:1:30,000,000 Bar scale Small Scale- Large area without a lot of detail Large Scale- show a small area with much more detail Step 2

27. Projections Planar/Azimuthal- give the shortest distance between two places. Very distorted Cylindrical-shows earth on map Conical-Used to show large area, shows shape accurately, but distorts landmass on edge Step 3 Mercator-shapes of the continents are distorted and compared near the equator Homolosine-shows accurate shapes and sizes of the landmasses, distances not correct Robinson-shows entire earth, landmass near the poles look flat

28. Type of Map Political-shows boundaries Theme-focus on specific type of information patterns, movement, data Physical-types of landforms & bodies of water Step 4
