Which map projection is each of these?

1. Robinson 2. Mercator 3. Good homolosine
Which are the two you should know the most?
Robinson and Mercator
What is accurate/inaccurate with them?
Robinson- useful for waterway navigation, elongates
near the poles and shrinks the landmasses near the
equator
Mercator-very little shape distortion, lots of size
distortion near the poles

Fill in the blank- Contemporary Tools of Geography
1. Remote sensing- is the acquisition of data about Earth’s surface from a satellite orbiting Earth or from other long-distance
methods.
2. GPS- accurately determines the precise position of something on Earth.
3. GIS- is a computer system that can capture, store, analyze, and display geography data. Each type of information can be
stored in a layer.
4. Remote sensing- Ex. Gathering data about sea level change
5. GIS- Ex. Comparing layers of data on population and light pollution
6. GPS- Ex. Using coordinates to find a location on earth
