  • Analyze a World Map
    Analyze a World Map Materials: Map of the World: Political or use link this website Map of the World Worksheet You could start the discussion by saying that the social studies part of the GED test assumes that everyone has a basic knowledge of world geography. The test will contain maps that you have to analyze and the answers are not always directly on the map. This is one area of the test where they expect you to just know the approximate locations of countries and oceans. So we thought we would use this world map to familiarize everyone with some world geography. Hand out the maps. The first thing you need to do with a map is read the title so that you know what you are looking at. Ask, “What is the title of this map?” ‘Map of the World: Political”. So this map should give us information about the location of countries. Then look to see if there is a legend or a list of symbols that explains the information shown on the map. Ask, “Is there a legend for this map/” Yes, it shows the scale of the map. You can discuss that the scale shows the relationship between distances on the map to the actual distance on the ground. Look to see if there is anything on the map showing directions, most maps have a compass that shows east, west, north, and south. Ask, “Does this map have any symbols indicating direction?” Yes, this map has a direction compass that shows points north. Ask if students know where south, east, and west are on the map.

    Earth’s Structure and Processes 8-3 The student will demonstrate an understanding of materials that determine the structure of Earth and the processes that have altered this structure. (Earth Science) 8-3.1 Summarize the three layers of Earth – crust, mantle, and core – on the basis of relative position, density, and composition. Taxonomy level: 2.4-B Understand Conceptual Knowledge Previous/future knowledge: Students in 3rd grade (3-3.5, 3-3.6) focused on Earth’s surface features, water, and land. In 5th grade (5-3.2), students illustrated Earth’s ocean floor. The physical property of density was introduced in 7th grade (7-5.9). Students have not been introduced to areas of Earth below the surface. Further study into Earth’s internal structure based on internal heat and gravitational energy is part of the content of high school Earth Science (ES-3.2). It is essential for students to know that Earth has layers that have specific conditions and composition. Layer Relative Position Density Composition Crust Outermost layer; thinnest Least dense layer overall; Solid rock – mostly under the ocean, thickest Oceanic crust (basalt) is silicon and oxygen under continents; crust & more dense than Oceanic crust - basalt; top of mantle called the continental crust (granite) Continental crust - granite lithosphere Mantle Middle layer, thickest Density increases with Hot softened rock; layer; top portion called depth because of contains iron and the asthenosphere increasing pressure magnesium Core Inner layer; consists of Heaviest material; most Mostly iron and nickel; two parts – outer core and dense layer outer core – slow flowing inner core liquid, inner core - solid It is not essential for students to know specific depths or temperatures of the layers.

  • World Map of Al-‘Umari #226.1
    World Map of al-‘Umari #226.1 TITLE: The Mamunic World Map DATE: 1340 AUTHOR: Ahmad ibn Yahya ibn Fadlallah al-‘Umari DESCRIPTION: The geographic work Masalik al-aNar fi mainalik al-amsar [Ways of Perception Concerning the Most Populous [Civilized] Provinces] was written by Ahmad Ibn Fadlalldh al-Umari (died 1349), a distinguished administrator and author who was active in Cairo and Damascus under Mamluk rule. He claims that the map is a copy of the world map made for Caliph al-Ma’mun (reigned 813-833); also mentioned by al-Mas’udi (#212) earlier. The world map shown here is reproduced in this manuscript of the work of al- ‘Umari. The same manuscript also has maps of the first three climates. Although the climates are not divided into sections, the general impression is that the maps are derived from those of al-Idrisi (#219). However, from its appearance it seems to have been compiled from the text of the Kitab bast al-ard fi tuliha wa-al-‘ard [Exposition of the earth in length and breadth] by Ibn Sa‘id (#221). Al-‘Umari’s text does mention a map and gives a few examples of longitude and latitude, but on the whole they do not correspond with positions given on the map. Most of the Istanbul manuscripts of Ibn Fadlallah al-‘Umari’s work are undated. However, the earliest one to be dated is 1585, suggesting that this and most other copies were prepared for the libraries of the Ottoman sultans of that period. By that time the idea of a graticule was well known from European sources and could have been added to bring the map up to date.

  • Comparison of Spherical Cube Map Projections Used in Planet-Sized Terrain Rendering
    FACTA UNIVERSITATIS (NIS)ˇ Ser. Math. Inform. Vol. 31, No 2 (2016), 259–297 COMPARISON OF SPHERICAL CUBE MAP PROJECTIONS USED IN PLANET-SIZED TERRAIN RENDERING Aleksandar M. Dimitrijevi´c, Martin Lambers and Dejan D. Ranˇci´c Abstract. A wide variety of projections from a planet surface to a two-dimensional map are known, and the correct choice of a particular projection for a given application area depends on many factors. In the computer graphics domain, in particular in the field of planet rendering systems, the importance of that choice has been neglected so far and inadequate criteria have been used to select a projection. In this paper, we derive evaluation criteria, based on texture distortion, suitable for this application domain, and apply them to a comprehensive list of spherical cube map projections to demonstrate their properties. Keywords: Map projection, spherical cube, distortion, texturing, graphics 1. Introduction Map projections have been used for centuries to represent the curved surface of the Earth with a two-dimensional map. A wide variety of map projections have been proposed, each with different properties. Of particular interest are scale variations and angular distortions introduced by map projections – since the spheroidal surface is not developable, a projection onto a plane cannot be both conformal (angle- preserving) and equal-area (constant-scale) at the same time. These two properties are usually analyzed using Tissot’s indicatrix. An overview of map projections and an introduction to Tissot’s indicatrix are given by Snyder [24]. In computer graphics, a map projection is a central part of systems that render planets or similar celestial bodies: the surface properties (photos, digital elevation models, radar imagery, thermal measurements, etc.) are stored in a map hierarchy in different resolutions.

  • From the Old Ages to Mercator
    14 The World Image in Maps – From the Old Ages to Mercator Mirjanka Lechthaler Institute of Geoinformation and Cartography Vienna University of Technology, Austria Abstract Studying the Australian aborigines’ ‘dreamtime’ maps or engravings from Dutch cartographers of the 16 th century, one can lose oneself in their beauty. Casually, cartography is a kind of art. Visualization techniques, precision and compliance with reality are of main interest. The centuries of great expeditions led to today’s view and mapping of the world. This chapter gives an overview on the milestones in the history of cartography, from the old ages to Mercator’s map collections. Each map presented is a work of art, which acts as a substitute for its era, allowing us to re-live the circumstances at that time. 14.1 Introduction Long before people were able to write, maps have been used to visualise reality or fantasy. Their content in \ uenced how people saw the world. From studying maps conclusions can be drawn about how visualized regions are experienced, imagined, or meant to be perceived. Often this is in \ uenced by social and political objectives. Cartography is an essential instrument in mapping and therefore preserving cultural heritage. Map contents are expressed by means of graphical language. Only techniques changed – from cuneiform writing to modern digital techniques. From the begin- nings of cartography until now, this language remained similar: clearly perceptible graphics that represented real world objects. The chapter features the brief and concise history of the appearance and develop- ment of topographic representations from Mercator’s time (1512–1594), which was an important period for the development of cartography.

  • History of Cartography by Trista L
    Name Date History of Cartography By Trista L. Pollard Our view of the world has changed since 1500 years ago. The maps and globes we use today are very accurate. They show more details. You can see cities and countries. They show landforms and landmarks. Our maps now have a standard coordinate or grid system. This measurement system helps us to locate places on Earth. But what about the first maps? What are they like? How were they made? Let's take a journey into the history of cartography. Cartography is the science of making maps. Today's cartographers use computers and cameras to help make maps. This is called remote sensing. Cameras are placed or mounted on airplanes. These cameras take pictures of the Earth's surface. Satellites in space are also used for cartography. Mapmakers in the past had much less technology. They used observation and stories from sailors to make maps. Most early scientists believed the Earth was flat. Imagine sailing from your country and falling over a cliff! That's what people thought. They also thought Earth was a flat disc. The center of the disc was filled with people. The outer edges of the Earth were empty. A world map made as early as 500 B.C. showed a disc with two continents. These continents were Europe and Asia. Both were surrounded by an ocean. That makes sense! Most people only knew about their surrounding or immediate area. Geographers also found early maps of the Pacific Ocean. They were made by navigators from Polynesia or the Pacific Islands.

  • How Do We Teach Geography?
    How do we teach geography? If we asked our students to describe their understanding of geography, what kinds of answers do you think they might give us? But if geography is about maps, then how well do they know their maps? In late 2002, the National Geographic Society conducted an international survey of young people between the ages of 18-24 in nine countries - the U.S., Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Sweden, and Britain. Each of the respondents was asked 56 questions about geography. None of the countries received and “A” grade. Sweden led the way with an average of 40 correct answers, followed by Germany and Italy each with 38 correct answers. Mexico was last with a “D-” for an average score of 21, just two points below the 23 score of the Americans. Some of the findings from the young Americans included the following: • 89% could locate the U.S. on a blank world map. • 89% could find both California and Texas on a map of the U.S; 51% could locate New York. • 71% could locate the Pacific Ocean. • 17% could locate Afghanistan on a blank world map. • 13% could locate Iraq on a blank world map. Many historians and geographers think that perhaps we can’t identify places on maps because we continue to rely on a traditional interpretation of geography Geography - the study of land, places, and the people in those lands. So, what might happen if we required students to think critically about maps, map making, geographical politics, and the people who live and work in various geographical regions? • We might begin to get our students to think geopolitically - to think about the influence of geography, culture, ethnicity, and religion on the politics - especially the domestic and foreign politics - of a nation.

Almost everyone in the world uses mapping information, whether or not one realizes it. Almost every mobile phone now has location services and every event and object on the earth has a location. The use of this geospatial location data has expanded rapidly, thanks to the development of the Internet. Huge volumes of geospatial data are available and daily being captured online, and are used in web applications and maps for viewing, analysis, modeling and simulation. This paper reviews the developments of web mapping from the first static online map images to the current highly interactive, multi-sourced web mapping services that have been increasingly moved to cloud computing platforms. The whole environment of web mapping captures the integration and interaction between three components found online, namely, geospatial information, people and functionality. In this paper, the trends and interactions among these components are identified and reviewed in relation to the technology developments.

  • 1 Mapping the World: Distortions, Discussions and Disputes
    GI_Forum 2016, Vol.1 Journey to the End of the World Page: 314-323 Full Paper Map – How Edges of World Maps Corresponding Author: Shape the Spatial Mind [email protected] DOI: 10.1553/giscience2016_01_s314 Florian Hruby1, Mónica Chico Avelino2 and Raymundo Montoya Ayala2 1 National Commission for Knowledge and Use of Biodiversity, Mexico City, Mexico 2 National Autonomous University of Mexico, Iztacala, Mexico Abstract World maps are among the most widely used geomedia products for visualizing global phenomena. Since there are, theoretically, infinite ways to portray Earth’s spherical surface on a plane, the question of the most appropriate world map design has been widely discussed in recent decades. However, this discussion has focused mainly on different projections, while another basic characteristic of any map, i.e. the presence of map edges, has been largely ignored so far. In view of this gap in cartographic research, this article examines empirically whether spatial relations are memorized differently by learners when these are presented on maps that have differently positioned edges. Distance estimations between locations learnt on Eurocentric and Americentric world maps are compared for this purpose. In line with previous spatial cognition research on barrier effects, our results indicate that distances are memorized more exactly when relevant inter-object relations are not being cut by map edges. Hence, designing an appropriate world map does not seem to be a problem purely of map projection; the position of the map’s edges shapes the knowledge that users may acquire when reading a map. Keywords: world maps, map projections, map edges, distance estimation, barrier effects 1 Mapping the world: distortions, discussions and disputes When Gerard Mercator published his conformally projected world map in 1569, he had a clear objective in mind, namely preserving angles in a way that allowed portraying loxodromes (also called rhumb lines) as straight lines – at that time a quality of particular usefulness for compass-based navigation and seafaring.
