What is the name of the type of map that depicts land below sea level?
This type of map is called a bathymetric map. It measures the different levels below the sea level. It is like a topographic map but below sea level.
Which type of map Displays sea level readings for specific locations?
topographical map
Which map is better for showing the height of a mountain above sea level an elevation map or relief map?
An elevation map would be better because an elevation map measures height.
Where is the red sea located on the world map?
I'm not sure
What is hydrographical map?
A map or chart showing depths of water, the nature of the bottom, contours of the bottom and coastline, and the tides and currents in sea.
Which map projection puts a map of the earth on to a flat piece of paper and is used by nearly all deep sea navigators?
All map projections put the earth's surface on to a flat sheet, in different ways. For navigation the Mercator projection is very common because a line on a constant compass bearing is shown as a straight line in this projection. Mercator is an example of a conformal projection because the shape of a small feature - like an island - is preserved on the map. Other projections preserve area or direction, but no projection can achieve everything, it's always a compromise.
When did Ptolemy create the map of the world?
This is a cylindrical map projection. It is a standard map for nautical purposes because it represents lines of constant course, called Rhum Lines, as straight segments. This is precisely the type of route employed by ships at sea. Compasses are used to indicate geographical direction and to steer the ship. The projection was presented by Mercator in 1569
What type of map is mostly used in air and sea navigation?
Topographic map
What are boats used for?
They are used to travel on sea.
Why might sailors prefer to use the mercator projection?
Sailors prefer the Mercator projection because it preserves angles, making it easier for them to navigate using a compass. This cylindrical map projection allows for straight-line courses, known as rhumb lines, to be plotted as straight lines on the map. Additionally, the Mercator projection provides a clear representation of ocean routes and landmasses, which is crucial for navigation at sea. However, it's important to note that it distorts the size of landmasses, especially near the poles.
On a contour map above as you travel farther away fron sea level what happen with the land?
As you travel farther away from sea level on a contour map, the land elevation increases. This means you are moving to higher ground or ascending in altitude. The contour lines on the map will be closer together, indicating a steeper slope or terrain as you move further from sea level.
Did egyptians travel using the red sea?
yes, they used the red sea to travel and trade with other countries.
What are uses boat?
They are used to travel on sea.
What map is used to look above sea elevation?
A topographic map is used to display elevation above sea level. It uses contour lines to represent different elevations on the land surface.
What were the Aegean Sea Islands used for?
To travel or to spend holidays.
Why do our countries need Marines?
To insure the forward projection of sea power.
What is the name for the map of the sea?
conquest map
