What is data aggregation

• a map projection that shows all land masses with their true areas but distorts their shapes

• the farther people have to travel the less likely they are to do so

• physical and organizational structures and facilities needed for the operation of a society

• the process of collecting and organizing large amounts of information

define Mercator projection

• a map projection that is good for navigation because the lines connecting points on the map represent the true compass direction ; however, land masses have become increasingly distorted the further away they are from the equator

• a map projection that shows land masses with their true areas but distorts their shape

• a map projection that looks down at earth from a perspective of one of the poles

• a method for representing the surface of the earth or a celestial sphere on a plane surface

define Peter's projection

• a map projection that avoids shape distortion and restrictions of a rectangular map by creating "interruptions" in the maps continuity

• a map projection that attempts to create the most visually appealing representation of earth by keeping all types of distortion relatively low over most of the map

• a map projection that shows all landmasses with their true areas but distorts their shape

• a map projection that looks down at earth from the perspective of one of the poles

define polar projection

• A map projection that shows all landmasses with their true areas but distorts their shape

• a map projection that looks down at earth from the perspective of one of the poles

• together information about human activity and its effects on the physical environment

• a map projection that attempts to create the most visually appealing representation of the earth by keeping all types of distortion relatively low over most of the map

Define Goode Homolosine projection

• a map projection that avoids shaped distortion and restrictions of a rectangular map by creating interruptions in the maps continuity

• a method for representing the surface of earth or a celestial sphere on a plane surface

• a map projection that attempts to create the most visually appealing representation of the earth by keeping all types of distortion relatively low over most of the map
