1 Objective We will review the 5 Themes of Geography to explain why each place on earth is unique. We will apply the concepts related to the 5 Themes of Geography to Baltimore Tuesday, September 7, 2010

2 Location Look over the indicators of location on your handout. What things about Baltimore s location make it unique from other places? 2009 Google - Map data 2009 Tele Atlas - Terms of Use Tuesday, September 7, 2010

3 Maps Different types of maps Projections - representation of the 3-D spherical earth in 2-D form v=vfocyuwfvqe&feature=related Next we will review the different types of projections. Tuesday, September 7, 2010

4 Mercator

5 Mercator cylindrical designed for European sailors - useful for finding directions/charting sailing course severely distorts the size of the extreme north and south countries example: Greenland and Africa Tuesday, September 7, 2010

7 Robinson

8 Robinson Robinson projection is a compromise which attempts to preserve enough of area, shape, distance, and direction so that the earth looks right - but actually preserves none of them. Tuesday, September 7, 2010

9 Winkel Tripel Projection

10 Winkel Tripel Projection In 1998 replaced the Robinson as the official map of the National Geographic Society It is claimed to be the best overall whole-earth map projection known, producing very small distance errors, small combinations of ellipticity and area errors, and the smallest skewness of any map. Tuesday, September 7, 2010

11 Peters Projection

12 Peters Projection

13 Peters The Peters Projection is known as the equal-area cylindric or cylindric equal-area projection Changes also include moving the Bering Strait Projection was largely associated with disparaging the Mercator projection as biased towards 3rd world countries, and promoted itself as a more appropriate map Tuesday, September 7, 2010

15 Other Map Types

16 Reference maps General- Purpose maps with a variety of common features like cities, boundaries, mountains, or roads are known as reference maps Tuesday, September 7, 2010

18 Thematic maps A map that demonstrates a particular feature or a single variable. Four types of thematic map are Dot maps Choropleth maps Proportional symbol maps Isoline maps Tuesday, September 7, 2010

19 Dot Maps A thematic map in which a dot is used to represent some frequency of the mapped variable. A simple dot map of commercial wireless antennas in the USA. Tuesday, September 7, 2010

20 U.K. Conservation sites

21 Choropleth Maps A thematic map in which ranked classes of some variable are depicted with shading patterns or colors for predefined zones Themes could include economic factors, population factors, political factors etc. Tuesday, September 7, 2010

29 Mental Maps Maps are not always printed. Everyone has a mental map a map in their mind that has developed over years of looking at wall maps, atlas maps, and maps in books, magazines, and newspapers. People s perception of places and regions is influenced by their individual mental maps as well as printed maps. Since one's perception of different places is a combination of general information, personal experiences, and what is called "hearsay" in the legal profession, that perception is not always accurate. They are also known as Cognitive Maps What you drew today was a Cognitive Map of the world. Tuesday, September 7, 2010

30 One Mental Map of How America Sees the World How accurate is this map? If so, what does it say about Americans? Tuesday, September 7, 2010

35 The World At Night

36 Quick Map Quiz After each map, list what type of map it is, what is the variable that is represented (what kind of information we could use that map for/what kind of conclusions could we make based on the map data) Some maps it will be easier to tell what kind than to know what kind of information. Disclaimer: My answers are not in full detail so it is up to you to fully learn about each map. Tuesday, September 7, 2010

37 World according to GDP

38 Cartogram The size of the countries is substituted for the representative size of their GDP

42 Dot Map Thematic map equating the world according to the light they produce at night Notice North Korea Tuesday, September 7, 2010

43

44 Isoline Map Isoline maps are the easiest to detect because they have swurvy lines that represent varying levels of something This map is demonstrating varying water transfer regions Tuesday, September 7, 2010

45
