Compare the two maps shown, then chose the correct answer: Which of the following is a characteristic of the MERCATOR map projection?
The area of some places on the Mercator are incorrect, especially near the poles.
The Robinson map is correct in both size, direction and distance, because it most resembles a globe.

Which of the following statements about the ROBINSON projection is correct?
The Robinson Projection is more useful for navigation than the Mercator Projection.
The Robinson Projection is more accurate in showing the sizes of countries in higher latitudes than the Mercator Projection.

The above maps are using shades of gray to show residential neighborhoods in the country of Singapore divided by ethnicity. Which of the following types of map is this?
Choropleth
Isoline

Every map projection has some degree of distortion because...
The Earth is not a perfect sphere.
Lines of Latitude and lines of Longitude do not intersect at right angles.
A curved surface like the Earth cannot be represented on a flat surface without distortion.
Lines of Latitude are shorter than lines of Longitude
Accurate maps do not actually have distortions.
The Washington Monument is located at a latitude of 38.8895°N and a longitude of 77.0353°W. Its address is 2 15th Street Northwest, Washington DC, 20024. Both of these are examples of....

How does a Cartogram map show data?
It changes the size of places shown to be relative to the amount of the data that exist in that area
It uses lines that connect points of equal value to depict variations in the data across space
It uses symbols of different sizes to indicate different amounts of something
It uses dots to show specific location and distribution of something across a map
How does a Isoline map show data?
It changes the size of places shown to be relative to the amount of the data that exist in that area
It uses lines that connect points of equal value to depict variations in the data across space
It uses symbols of different sizes to indicate different amounts of something
It uses dots to show specific location and distribution of something across a map
