• The science of making maps

Mercator projection

• a conformal cylindrical map projection that was originally created to display accurate compass bearings for sea travel.

• a compromise map projection showing the poles as lines rather than points and more accurately portraying high latitude lands and water to land ratio.

Robison projection

• map showing geographically diagrammatic statistics of various kinds usually by the use of shades, curves, or dots.

• a compromise map projection showing the poles as lines rather than points and more accurately portraying high latitude lands and water to land ratio.

Site features

• Z is amazing

Latitude and longitude

• the measurement of distance north or south of the Equator ( latitude) and measures distance east or west of the prime meridian ( longitude )

• From west to east latitude and from north to south longitude

Environmental determinism

• holds that environmental features directly determine aspects of human behaviour and society
