humans by their actions and technologies alter the physical environment to suit their needs
determination of environmental limitations is a primary task of geographers

Which of the following is a characteristic of the Mercator projection?
The size and shape of countries in the higher latitudes are greatly exaggerated.
The size of all countries is accurate, but the shape is distorted.
Countries near the Equator appear 50 percent larger than countries in the middle latitudes.
The projection is designed to maintain undistorted outlines of landmasses.
Distances on the Mercator projection are real and accurate
Which of the following statements about the Robinson projection is correct?
It is more useful for long-distance navigation than the Mercator projection.
It is better for making topographical maps than the Mercator projection.
It is more accurate than the Mercator projection in showing the sizes of countries in higher latitudes.
It is more useful for showing the distribution of human populations than the Mercator projection.
It is better for estimating territorial waters in lower latitudes than the Mercator projection.
Every map projection has some degree of distortion because
a curved surface cannot be represented on a flat surface without distortion
parallels and meridians never cross at right angles on a globe
the grid system is two-dimensional, while the real world is three-dimensional

a map that displays not only locations but maps a topic or theme of information or data with the location
The arrangement of the natural and artificial physical features of an area.
the belief that a physical environment is THE reason that some societies are strong while others are weaker
Map Projections
detailed observations that provide insight into a group of people in a specific area
arrangement of a phenomenon across the Earth's surface (clustering/dispersal)
a method of taking a 3D object and putting in on a 2D plane

GPS
a system that measures distance from a series of satellites to determines exact location on the planet
the science of making measurements of the earth using sensors on airplanes or satellites
software that captures, manages, analyzes, and displays data that is collected geographically
relating to data that is specific to one location
Situation
What you see in a specific location- can be physical features or human created features of a place
Is a combination of cultural, economic and physical features of a place (ex. Language, industry, climate)
