Why is the map projection shown here especially useful for navigation on the surface of the earth?
It shows the size of bodies of water realistically
Direciton is constant across the map
Distances are correctly protrayed
Distortion of shape is minimzied
Area of land masses is shown accurately
Like the map above, all maps have some kind of distortion. Why?
The earth's surface is curved and a map is flat
All maps are smaller than the areas they actually represent
The world constantly changes, so maps are never current
Human error is always present when a map is made
Maps can depict only a small number of the many details of the earth's surface
Which phrase refers to the collection of geospatial data through the use of satellite imagery
Creating a projection
Using remote sensing
Gathering information
Using a global positioning system
Forming a mental map
Which is the best example of qualitative data used by geographers?
Measurements of distance made using GPS receivers
Surveys about how often people visit other places
Census counts such as population statistics
Tables showing the age of distribution of people in a community
Personal descriptions of processes and events
Smartphones, each one with tiny, GPS pinging, have revolutionized cartography, Matthew Zook, a geographer at the University of Kentucky, has partnered with data scientists-
It provides information about spatial distribution of people's reactions to events
Geographers focus on the sentiments of people more than do other scientists
It provides an opportunity for geographers to work with data scientisits
Geographers are more likely to use new technology than are other scientists
The data is searchable and most geographic information is hard to organize

At what scale of analysis is the projection, Earth at Night?
Regional
Global
National
Urban
Local
Which phrase refers to the collection of geospatial data through the use of satellite imagery?
Using remote sensing
Using a global positioning system
Forming a mental map
Gathering information through fieldwork
Creating a projection
How are a cartogram and graduated symbol map similar?
Both provide a good compromise among distortions of shape, size, direction, and distance
Both display latitude and longitude accurately
Both are useful for comparing the physical area of a country
Both indicate exact locations of specific data precisely
Both portray numerical data for comparison between places
