What is key in geography?

In geography, a key, also known as a legend, is a section of a map that explains the symbols, colors, and other annotations used on the map. The key helps users understand the meaning of different map elements and allows them to interpret the map accurately.


How do maps display 3 dimensional objects into 2 dimensions?

Maps use techniques such as projection and scale to represent the curvature of the Earth on a flat surface. Different map projections distort certain aspects of the globe to create a more accurate representation of the Earth's surface on a flat map. This allows 3D objects to be visualized in 2D while maintaining relative spatial relationships.


What happen to the continents on some map projections?

Four things can happen in any map projection, and one of them always occurs, due to the issue of putting a 3-dimensional plan on a flat surface. Size, shape, direction, and distance can be distorted on any map. Mercator is the most obvious of these, and several changes the size of Siberia, making it appear huge as compared to anywhere else. In fact, Siberia isn't THAT big, but the projection makes for great propoganda purposes...either making the U.S.S.R. in the old days look like an overpowering juggernaught, or by making the United States look puny in comparison. In all reality, the United States had more people, a stronger economy, and better technology, and the U.S.S.R.'s only advantage was in their nuclear stockpile. The Robinson projection screws up distance and direction on the outermost region, while preserving the center almost as it is on the globe. The basic idea of all of this is that if you take a piece of paper and try to conform it to a globe, shining a light in the center of the globe to imprint the picture onto the paper, the image that results will always be distorted in one way or another. If you're studying geography, maps are nice, but nothing beats a globe (except, of course, in compactness and transportability).

Are there 3 main types of map projection?

Map makers are called cartographers. There are 3 generally accepted types of map projections. These are cylindrical projections, conic projects and planar projections.


What is the most common map projection used?

The most common map projections are based on three main geometric shapes: 1) Sphere to a Plane 2) Cylindrical Projections, 3) Conic Projections.


What are different types of map projections?

Mercator Projection : longitude and latitude as straight, parallel lines Conic Projection : a circular map made from a flattened cone, centered on a pole or other point Gall-Peters Projection : relocates standard parallels, narrows longitudinal spacing Robinson Projection : approximates a true spherical view of the Earth, except the poles Winkel Tripel Projection : an azimuth approximation of the world view, similar to Robinson The most widely used is the Mercator projection, the major disadvantage being its area expansions (areas closer to the poles appear larger and lack their true shapes). The Gall-Peters Projection provides a closer approximation of the relative areas. All flat representations of a spherical surface will create variances in "true" size or shape. (see image links)


Why are map projections not true representations of the earth's surface?

This is due to the distortions caused by taking a 3 dimensional sphere and converting it to a 2 dimensional layout.
