Space
Place
What is the benefit of a Mollweide projection?
Distances are very well preserved
It is really good to plot specific coordinates
It keeps proportional landmasses sizes
It does not distort any of the landmasses
Which is true about active (remote) sensors?
It is much less precise then passive sensors
It can not scan non-stop
It is more detrimental to animal life than passive sensor
It can scan none stop
Which is the best definition of Human Geography?
The nature and relative arrangement of places and physical features.
The study of past events, particularly in human affairs.
The study of the earth and its features and of the distribution of life on the earth, including human life and the effects of human activity.
The study of the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services.
A thematic map is one that is best described as a map that
shows the Earth's features.

Absolute location is
the position of anything on the Earth’s surface.
a specifically labeled place on earth.
the uniqueness of a location.
the position of a place or entity based on its location.
Which projection allows you to show the entirety of the earth’s surface, that also can be unfolded?
Mercator projection
Peters projection
Dymaxion projection
Mollweide projection
What is the difference between an absolute location and a relative location?
A relative location is a place you can find on a map
An absolute location has to do with where you are compared to everything else
There isn't a difference
Absolute location refers to a specific spot on planet Earth, relative location explains where a place is in relation to another place
