Read the chart below on map projections. Answer the questions below in your group.
1. Your group is going on a trip. For this trip you need a map that accurately tells you which direction to head. Tells us what type of map projection you will need and post a link to a map of this kind.
2. For a school project on country size, you need a map that accurately displays the sizes of land masses. What type of map will this be and give us a link to such a map.
3. You want to show the actual shape of the world. Again, which map will this be and give us a link to an example.
4. Give us a map type and link that accurately displays distances.
5. Garret is a ruler of a country in Europe. He wants the young people of his country to think the country is huge and important. To achieve this, what map projection would he choose to be studied in school?

1. you would use the Azimuthal projection https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winkel_tripel_projection#/media/File:Winkel_triple_projection_SW.jpg
ReplyDelete2. you would use the equal area or equivalent projection https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mollweide_projection#/media/File:Mollweide_projection_SW.jpg
3. you would use the conformal projection http://www.brewer-com.com/funPages/funWorldMaps.html
4. you would use the Equidistant projection http://www.mgaqua.net/AquaDoc/Projections/img/Equidistant%20Cylindrical.jpgv
5. you would use the conformal projection https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4f/Kavraiskiy_VII_projection_SW.jpg
