APHG EOC Study- Section One

Preserves accurate compass direction, but distorts the areas of land masses relative to eachother

• Mercator Projection

• Fuller Projection

• Robinson Projection

• Peters projection

Maintains an accurate size and shape of landmasses, but completely rearranges direction

• Azimuthal Projection

• Fuller Projection

• Robinson Projection

• Peters Projection

An attempt to balance projection errors- does not maintain accurate area, shape, distance, or direction, but minimizes errors in each

• Azimuthal Projection

• Cartogram

• Robinson Projection

• Peters Projection

A map projection in which the plane is the most developable surface

• Azimuthal Projection

• Choropleth Map

• Cognitive Map

• Dot Map

A type of thematic map that transforms space such that the political unit with the greatest value for some type of data is represented by the largest relative area.

• Dot Map

• Cartogram Map

• Choropleth Map

• Cognitive Map

A thematic map that uses tones or colors to represent spatial data as average values per unit area

• Dot Map

• Fuller Projection

• Choropleth Map

• Cognitive Map

An image of a portion of Earth's surface that an individual creates in his or her mind- can include knowledge of actual locations and relationship among locations as well as personal perceptions and preferences of particular places.

• Cognitive Map

Thematic Map that uses points to show the precise locations of specific observations or occurrences, such as crimes, car accidents, or births.

• Dot Map

• Fuller Projection

• Isoline Map

• Mercator Projection

A map with lines that connect points of equal or very similar values
