Which are examples of thematic maps?

• Choropleth, dot, graduated symbol, isoline, physical

• Choropleth, dot, political, isoline, cartogram

• Choropleth, dot, graduated symbol, reference, cartogram

• Choropleth, dot, graduated symbol, isoline, cartogram

What is a spatial pattern?

• They are patterns only noticed in census data that show trends of graduation rates

• A perceptual structure, placement, or arrangement of objects on Earth. It also includes the space in between those objects. Or patterns.

• The distance, location, and shape of an object on earth that describes the area

• It shows how maps and data fit together using satellite imagery

How is the Mercator projection biased towards specific populations?

• Due to distortion it creates a larger area to sway individuals to move to undeveloped locations, like Greenland.

• Due to distortion it changes the distance between countries to make developed countries look closer together than undeveloped countries

• Due to distortion it makes the more developed countries larger and undeveloped countries smaller, which creates the bias of importance of developed countries.

• Due to distortion it makes the lesser developed countries larger and developed countries smaller in order to show how much help needs to be provided to undeveloped areas.

• Distance

• Shape

• Area

• Direction

• Contents of the country

What is an example of a functional region?

• North America

What is a node?

• This is when patterns focus around a specific area to show a cluster

• A specific pattern that is shown in the map

• A bump in the maps surface to show elevation
