World maps are wrong- 8th grade

According to the video, how many Greenlands could fit in Africa?

• 7

• 10

• 14

• 21

What did Ptolemy do in 150 AD?

• He created a digital globe

• He systematically mapped the Earth on a grid.

• He made a flat map of the world.

• He created a world map with curved navigational routes.

Which map has no visibly evident distortions of the land masses?

• The Goode Homolosine Projection

• The Dymaxion Projection

• The AuthaGraph World Map

• The Mercator projection

What was the main purpose of the Goode Homolosine Projection?

• To minimize distortion for the entire world

• To make the map land-oriented

• To make the map ocean-oriented

• To create an interrupted pseudo-cylindrical projection

What was the problem with Mercator's map?

• It was too difficult to read.

• It distorted the shapes of the continents.

• It was too small.

• It distorted the size of land masses and bodies of water.

How did Gerardus Mercator fix the problem of following the shortest route on a flat map?

• He created a world map with curved navigational routes.

• He created a world map that distorted land masses and bodies of water.

• He created a world map with curved lines of latitude.

• He created a world map that made curved navigational routes straight.

What was the problem with following the shortest route between two places on a flat map?

• It would take too long.

• The route would pass through every line of longitude at a different angle.

• The route would be too difficult to read.

• The route would be too straight.

Why maps are important for our education according to Arnu Peters?

• Because they help us to navigate around the world

• Because they help us to locate different places around the world

• Because they help us to get a sense of supremacy

• Because they shape our perception of the world and the way how we see it

According Arno Peters, what is one of the problems with Mercator projection

• This projection makes the southern countries larger and it gives them a sense of supremacy

• This projection makes most of the countries with same seize

• This projection makes the northern countries larger and it gives them a sense of supremacy

• This projection gives us the feeling that the southern countries are powerful

Who designed the most accurate projection to date?

• Gerardus Mercator

• Ptolemy

• Buckminster Fuller

• Hajime Narukawa
