1 Map Projections Simplified
2 Learning Target I can explain why map projections look different from one another. I can explain the strengths and weaknesses of different map projections. I can describe why all maps are distorted in some way. I can define proportional, distortion & projection.
3
4
5
6 4. What seems wrong about Antarctica and Greenland on the Mercator Projection map (previous page)? A. They are proportionally too small in relation to the other continents. B. They are proportionally too big in relation to the other continents. 0% 0% Non-Response Grid 1 2
7 Proportional means the comparative relationship of sizes & shapes.
8 Proportional means the comparative relationship of sizes & shapes.
9 Proportional means (question #5) A. The comparative relationship between things (like the sizes of continents compared to each other)
10 Which map is more proportionally accurate regarding the actual size of the continents? 1. A 2. B 0% 0% Non-Response Grid 1 2
11 #6. A map is: C. a graphic representation of a place usually on a flat surface.
12 #7. Which statement is true? 1. The picture is a representation, or copy, of Da Vinci s original. 2. The picture at right is the actual Mona Lisa painted by Da Vinci. 0% 0% Non-Response Grid 1 2
13 #8. Which statement is true? 1. A representation is the genuine object being studied by a student. 2. A representation is something that is made to be like something else. 0% 0% Non-Response Grid 1 2
14
15 So, maps are usually flat & 2D while the world is spherical and very much 3D. Will this cause there to be any inaccuracies or distortion on a MAP? 1.YES 2.NO 0% 0% Non-Response Grid 1 2
16 YES All maps are LIARS. All maps don t present the way the world actually is because its round and they are flat.
17 Maps seek for correct proportions
18 Not Contortions
19 But end up with distortions.
20 How would you define distortion? What does that word make you think of?
21 Distortion is the misrepresentation of shape or size of something.
22
23 Different Maps will even represent lines of latitude & longitude differently
24
25
26
27 29. Since longitude lines intersect at the poles, cartographers made them become parallel by all the following ways except which? (trick question) 1. A. Cartographers stretched and extended the lines to fill in the gaps. 2. B. The lines are purposely drawn to be further apart. 3. C. Cartographers wanted to show directions accurately on this map 0% 0% 0% 1 2 3
28 Why is C an incorrect answer? C. Cartographers wanted to show directions accurately on this map Showing direction answers WHY they did it Not HOW they did it.

32 Which map projection looks most familiar to you? 1. Map X 2. Map Y 3. Map Z Map X: Equal Areal Projection Map Z: Mercator Projection Map Y: Robinson Projection 0% 0% 0% Countdown
33 Which map is the most difficult to see Alaska (map K)? 1. Map X 2. Map Y 3. Map Z Map X: Equal Areal Projection Map Z: Mercator Projection Map Y: Robinson Projection 0% 0% 0% Countdown
34 Which map has the least distortion regarding the size of continents? 1. Map X 2. Map Y 3. Map Z Map X: Equal Areal Projection Map Z: Mercator Projection Map Y: Robinson Projection 0% 0% 0% Countdown
35 Which map has the least distortion regarding the shape of the continents? 1. Map X 2. Map Y 3. Map Z Map X: Equal Areal Projection Map Y: Robinson Projection Map Z: Mercator Projection
36 Which map tries to get the best of both worlds concerning shape & size? 1. Map X 2. Map Y 3. Map Z Map X: Equal Areal Projection Map Y: Robinson Projection Map Z: Mercator Projection
37 Map Projection: the case of the perturbed Mercator Map M.A.P.S. writing assignment
38 Pt. 1 - Strengths and Weaknesses of Map Projections: Rank the severity of how much each projection distorts certain characteristics of the land on a world map.
39 What is distorted more? Shape the way it looks Size the relative size of each
40 Rank: 1 = little to none. 2 = somewhat noticeable. 3 = very much Kind of Projections Distortion of Shape Distortion of Size Directional Distortion Example Mercator Robinson Equal Area
41 What is distorted more? Shape the way it looks Size the relative size of each

43 Kind of Projections Distortion of Shape Distortion of Size Directional Distortion Example Mercator Robinson Equal Area

46 Kind of Projections Distortion of Shape Distortion of Size Directional Distortion Example Mercator Robinson Equal Area
47 Pt. 2 - Writing Assignment: You are a Mercator Map and need to write a short speech to give to your fellow Mercator Map friends because of the following conditions.
48 Good writing needs a RAFT to float in academic waters Role: A disturbed map making a motivational speech Audience: all your young and uninformed Mercator Map friends Format: Your speech needs 3 paragraphs. #1. Explain why all maps are distorted. # 2. What your one weakness is as a Mercator Projection. #3. Why your map projection is no different in usefulness than Robinson s & Equal Area s Projection (to do this, explain with examples the strengths and weaknesses of all three projections). Topic: A group of Robinson maps and Equal Area maps are talking with a text-book company to have you, a Mercator Projection map, removed from the book. Tell your Mercator peers what is happening and defend why you should be kept in the book. Why are you so helpful?
49 Legibility is imperative! If I can t read you re writing, I will require you to re-write it or type it out.
