GEOG101 Chapt02 lecture
Maps are the primary tools of geography and cartography. They represent the earth's surface by using projections to translate the globe's spherical shape onto a flat surface, which inevitably distorts some characteristics. Different map projections prioritize preserving properties such as area, shape, distance, or direction. Thematic maps depict specific spatial distributions or categories of geographic data using symbols, colors, and other visual encoding techniques. Geographic information systems (GIS) are computer systems for assembling, analyzing, and visualizing geospatial data. GIS sees wide applications across fields like biology, political science, and urban planning.

Geography map skill (all you need to know)
This document provides an overview of key map skills, including compass directions, scale, grid references, contour lines, symbols, and measuring distance. It explains that a map shows features of a place and uses lines of longitude and latitude to form a grid reference system. Contour lines are used to represent height or elevation since maps cannot display three-dimensional terrain. Symbols simplify features and a map scale allows measurement of real-world distances based on the scale ratio. Measuring distance involves using a scale to determine real-world lengths between two points on a map.

This document provides information about key elements of maps, including latitude, longitude, hemispheres, directions, time zones, scale, and legends. It explains that latitude and longitude are lines that measure distances on Earth and divide it into a grid. The equator is 0 degrees latitude and runs east to west, while the prime meridian is 0 degrees longitude and runs north to south. Maps also use compass directions, scales to relate distances on maps to real distances, time zones that group places by longitude, and legends to explain symbols on the map.
Geography skills handbook1
This document introduces various geographic tools used to represent spatial information, including globes, maps, and other visual representations. It discusses how globes provide accurate depictions of location but lack detail, while maps show specific areas in greater detail. The document also covers map projections that translate the round earth onto a flat surface, common map elements like scale and keys, and different types of maps and graphs used by geographers.
Cartography
The document discusses how geographers use maps to understand the world. It explains that cartography is the science of map making and the earliest maps were created thousands of years ago. There are two major genres of maps: reference maps used to identify locations and thematic maps used to show patterns and distributions. The document also describes important map elements like scale, coordinates, latitude and longitude, hemispheres, time zones, and the International Date Line.
1017 Maps and mapping
Maps provide simplified models of the real world by selecting and symbolizing only certain features. They necessarily distort aspects like distance, area, shape or direction due to map projections and scaling. Different projections prioritize certain properties over others depending on map use. Well-designed maps forecast user needs, simplify relevant features, and symbolize them clearly. Despite inaccuracies, maps remain valuable information tools when their limitations are understood.
Geography - Maps - Class 6
The document discusses different types of maps and their uses. It explains that maps are drawings that represent the earth's surface at a reduced scale to fit on a page. While globes are useful for studying the entire earth, maps provide more detailed information about specific regions. There are different types of maps like physical maps, political maps, and thematic maps that focus on natural features, borders, or specific data like transportation or rainfall. Maps allow distances and locations to be accurately measured using scales that relate distances on the map to actual distances on ground. Symbols, directions, and scales are important components of maps that provide detailed information in a clear format.
Geography Handbook

It discusses the essential elements and themes of geography, including location, place, human-environment interaction, movement, and regions. It also explains different types of maps, projections, map symbols and keys, as well as graphs, charts and pictographs used to display geographic data.
Chapter 11Exploring Our Geographic World
Chapter 11
Exploring Our Geographic World
*
DistanceTime and distance are very important concepts in the social studies curriculum.Children’s sense of time develops gradually.Maps and globes help children understand distance, direction, and location.
*
MapsMaps show portions of the earth, which is a sphere, on a flat surface.Maps must compromise size, distance, and proportion.Maps are abstract representations of reality.Maps do not show everything, but only what is important to a researcher.Maps are resources used to communicate reality in a selective way.
*
Experiential Approaches to TeachingTraditional textbook approaches are less effective than experiential approaches.Hands on experiences are very important for young children to make connections between the landscape and its graphic representation.Children begin making maps at a very young age when they draw pictures.
*
The Five Themes of GeographyThe five themes of geography can provide points of reference for activities related to geography and include:
Location
Place
Interaction
Movement
Region
*
Location & PlaceTeachers can introduce the concept of location by discussing absolute location.The absolute location is at a particular intersect of longitude and latitude or the address that locates a place within a city or town.Relative location involves how near or far a place is to other places.A place has certain characteristics such as whether it is cold, dry, humid, flat or hilly.
*
Interaction, Movement & RegionThe concept of interaction focuses on the way people change and use their environment.Movement is a concept which explains the way people move from location to location. For example, children go to school each morning and leave in the afternoon.A region describes aspects such as suburban, rural, middle class, and so forth.
*
Helping Students Learn to Make and Read MapsStudents need to observe and record in order to make maps.Teachers can help students develop these skills by including a number of activities.An ideal starting point is the school.
*
Mental MapsA mental map refers to images of places in our heads.All of us have been to many places and can also imagine images of places we have never been to.Mental maps are useful because people like to think about places they have been to and places they’ve never visited.Mental maps are not necessarily accurate.
*

Maps provide a generalized view of an area from above at a reduced scale. They represent spatial relationships and present information concisely. Maps have symbols and a legend to explain features, and use scale, projection, and orientation to translate distances on Earth. Key parts of maps include lines of latitude and longitude that measure location, hemispheres that divide the world, and a compass rose that indicates directions.
ONTAP - Map and Compass
This document provides an introduction to map and compass navigation. It consists of four parts that cover the topics of globe to map projections, topographic maps, the magnetic compass, and navigation. The first part explains how maps are created by projecting the round earth onto a flat surface, which results in distortions of areas, shapes, directions and distances. It also discusses common map projections and techniques to minimize distortions, such as using a series of transverse Mercator projections.

This document provides an overview of different methods of georeferencing, or assigning locations to information on maps. It discusses various systems like placenames, addresses, postcodes, cadastral maps, and coordinate systems. Latitude and longitude provide a comprehensive global standard, but distortions require map projections like UTM for GIS. GPS allows direct measurement of coordinates with increasing accuracy from basic to differential systems. Georeferences must be unique, shared, and persistent over time to be useful references in maps and spatial analysis.
Intro to world geography skills
Introduction to Geography Skills for 9th grade World Geography class. Covers the five themes of geography.
Ch 1, key issue 1
Maps are a key tool used by geographers to identify regions and analyze their content. There are different types of maps that serve various purposes and distort representations of locations, distances, sizes, and directions to different degrees depending on their projections. Reference maps show absolute locations and are used for navigation, while thematic maps show relative locations and tell stories about distributions of attributes. Key aspects of maps include their scale, projections, grid system, symbols, and how they can show bias depending on their purpose and construction.

Ten telltale signs of novice cartography
Through an informal email by this paper's author, nearly 150 cartographers worldwide from academia, government, and the private sector were asked to submit their own list of telltale signs of novice cartography. They were asked to share ten things they think of as signs that a map was made by someone who is still learning or perhaps has failed to learn. The cartographers were not asked to rank the items in the list, nor were they required to provide exactly ten items in the list―in fact, some offered more than ten items, and some offered fewer.
Nearly 100 responses were received as of January 1, 2019. The responses were compiled into a single text document. Content analysis was used to analyse the responses by interpreting and coding the text. Additional responses continue to arrive―those responses will also be analysed.
The final results of this analysis will be revealed at the International Cartographic Conference in 2019.

Netherlands vs Austria: Ronald Koeman's Tactical Approach For UEFA Euro 2024
As well as being the highest-scoring defender in history, Koeman is a man with immense tactical knowledge. He returned to manage Holland at the start of 2023 after it was announced Louis van Gaal would retire. His life back in the dugout with the team wasn't easy, as he lost his first match 4-0 to France after going 3-0 down within 21 minutes.
However, he eventually helped them qualify for Euro Cup Germany. The 61-year-old likes to organize his team with a defensive mindset. Some might call it pragmatic as he defends with minimal space between the lines, but that's often needed for international football.

Psaroudakis: Family and Football – The Psaroudakis Success Story
Psaroudakis, a name that resonates with football fans around the globe, is a testament to the powerful synergy between familial support and individual passion. Born on March 10, 1992, in the historic city of Heraklion, Crete, Psaroudakis’ journey to international football stardom is a compelling narrative of dedication, perseverance, and unwavering family support. His story not only highlights his athletic prowess but also underscores the crucial role his family played in shaping his career and character.
Psaroudakis’ early life in Heraklion was deeply influenced by a supportive and nurturing family environment. His father, a former semi-professional footballer, recognized Psaroudakis’ potential from an early age. Acting as his first coach, his father’s guidance was instrumental in igniting Psaroudakis’ passion for football. This paternal influence instilled in him a strong work ethic and fundamental skills that would become the foundation of his future success. His mother, a dedicated homemaker, provided a stable and nurturing environment, ensuring that Psaroudakis could pursue his dreams without any hindrances.
From a young age, Psaroudakis showed an innate talent for football. Growing up in Heraklion, he spent countless hours playing football in local parks and streets with friends and family. His natural ability was evident even in these informal settings, and his enthusiasm for the game was infectious. By the age of five, Psaroudakis had joined a local youth football club, where his skills began to flourish. His father’s role as his first coach during these formative years was crucial, as he emphasized not only technical skills but also the importance of discipline and teamwork.
The transition from playing in local parks to joining a structured football environment marked a significant step in Psaroudakis’ journey. At the age of ten, he joined the youth academy of OFI Crete, one of Greece’s most esteemed football clubs. This move marked the beginning of a more rigorous and professional approach to his training. The academy environment was demanding, focusing on honing technical abilities and instilling values of sportsmanship and dedication. Psaroudakis’ dedication to his craft was evident as he quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a standout player in the youth teams.
The support of Psaroudakis’ family was unwavering during this critical period. His father continued to be a source of guidance and mentorship, while his mother ensured that he had everything he needed to succeed. Their collective efforts created a balanced environment where Psaroudakis could focus entirely on his development as a footballer. This familial support was not just about providing the basics; it was about creating an environment where Psaroudakis felt encouraged and motivated to pursue his dreams relentlessly.
As Psaroudakis transitioned from the youth academy to professional football, the challenges became more significant.

Belgium coach Domenico Tedesco will wait for several key players to recover from injury. Even if it means they miss the opening Euro Cup Germany stages of the European Championship in Germany this month. Veteran defender Jan Vertonghen, midfielder Youri Tielemans and defender Arthur. Theate are being given time to play in the tournament because they are considered vital to Belgium’s cause, Tedesco said on Tuesday.

"Of course, you prefer to take players who are fully fit, but that's okay. We want to wait and be patient for some players even if they cannot play in those first matches," he told a press conference. The 37-year-old Vertonghen, Belgium’s Euro Cup 2024 most-capped international with 154 appearances, is struggling to shake off a groin injury.
"He will be there normally. This also applies to Youri Tielemans and Arthur Theate. The latter's position is very sensitive. We don't have many choices at left back. "It will only change if it turns out that they will only be available when, say, the final of the Euro 2024 Championship comes around. That's too long to wait. "However, I am confident that the injured boys are on track for the Euros.
Belgium vs Romania: Radu Dragusin Prepares for Crucial Role in Euro Cup Germany
Some of them have taken not one but two steps forward in their rehabilitation," he said. None of the injured players will feature in this week’s warm-up friendlies against Montenegro and Luxembourg. Romania centre-back Radu Dragusin found chances limited at Tottenham Hotspur in the second half of the 2023-24 season.
But is crucial to his country's cause at UEFA Euro 2024 where his aerial ability, physicality and hard graft make him a standout player. The 22-year-old moved to North London from Italian side Genoa in January but was kept on the sidelines by the form of another new arrival for the season, Mickey van de Ven, something Romania coach Edward Iordanescu admitted was a concern.
It will mean limited game-time going into the finals, but Dragusin, who cites Netherlands defender Virgil van Dijk as a role model, started every Euro Cup Germany qualifier as Romania went through the campaign unbeaten in their 10 games. He will be among their most important players in their first game in Germany against Ukraine in Munich on June 17, taking the right centre-back role in what is likely to be a back four.

- 1. Selecting and Using Maps for Research An Exploratory Workshop for Geography 101 Pleasant Valley Community College July 29, 2011 Presented by Alison Hunt, PVCC Library
- 2. Introductions What is your area of study? If you have used maps before, please give us an example of one time… Is there anything you'd like to understand better about maps?
- 3. Map this classroom Find a partner Get your materials: paper, pencils and/or playdough Just show the general layout and major features— you decide what is important to include in this map
- 4. Check out all the maps. What do they have in common? What things are different?
- 5. Maps show: Area Shape Direction Distance They have: Scale Orientation Location Maps may also show: Special features Elevation (contours) Place names Surrounding areas/details
- 6. Longitude and map selection In 1884, folks decided to measure locations east or west from the prime meridian, an imaginary line through Greenwich, England—just outside of London. But some mapmakers put the prime meridian in another spot. IF you need to have accurate locations east or west AND your map is from before 1884 or from another country THEN you need to be sure you know where the prime meridian lies.
- 7. Map projections and map selection No single flat map shows area, direction, distance and shape accurately. Only one or two of these can be correct. For small areas, most projections are fine for general research. For large areas, if you just need general information, modern atlases use clever mash-ups where nothing is really correct but nothing is really distorted. Clues that a projection is good for a large area: Longitude and latitude lines have some kind of curve The flat image looks a little 3D—like Google Earth. If you need accurate area, direction, distance or shape for a large area, then you must use certain projections. Check http://egsc.usgs.gov/isb/pubs/MapProjections/projections.html
- 8. Evaluate some maps Get a worksheet—you take one page, your partner takes another. Examine a map and answer the questions. Look for interesting details or patterns. You may not be able to find answers to every question! If you have extra time, check out another map. When time is up, compare notes with your partner. For what kind of information was each map best?
- 10. Quick Survey Spend 2 minutes answering a few questions. No names, no grades. Return the survey to me when you are done. THANKS! Next half hour: Your assignment…
