Why does distortion occur on every map?
Cartographers are politically biased.
GIS technology encourages errors.
The 3D world cannot be accurately converted to 2D
Why does Google maps use the Mercator projection?
Direction is easier to navigate a grid & distortion decreases when zoomed in
The size of continents is more accurate.
It is easy to travel the Great Circle Route.
Because all of the Earth can be seen on the Mercator

All of the following accurately describe how geographers and lawmakers use census data except...
To provide state legislatures with the small area census population data necessary for the redrawing of voting districts.
To provide the federal government with population data that is used to determine how to allocate federal funds for states.
To help state and local governments plan for public safety and disaster preparedness.
To detect and monitor the physical characteristics of an area.
To gather demographic (population) information that is used to inform legislative decision making.
Which of the following descriptions are best aligned with the idea of geospatial data?
There is a distinct separation between geospatial data and non geospatial data and the two information sets cannot be linked.
Geospatial data is the locational information of spatial features such as highways, tracts of land, and soil types.
Geospatial data is only used by government and business agencies.
Geospatial data may not necessarily be linked directly to a particular spatial location.
Geospatial data always expresses the spatial relationship between features found on the Earth.
Which of the following best describes how geographic information systems would be utilized by urban planners?
