Maps as Models of Earth
This document provides information about key concepts for reading and understanding topographic maps, including:
- Contour lines connect points of equal elevation and are used to show elevation changes on topographic maps. Closer contour lines indicate steeper slopes.
- Relief, elevation difference between highest and lowest points in an area, determines the contour interval or spacing between lines.
- Contour lines have set rules like never crossing, being V-shaped in valleys, and forming closed circles around peaks.
Creation explained for the 21st century
In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth and populated the Earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow and red vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives.

A new major eruption of Popocatepetl would likely have a devastating economic impact on local residents who may be subsistence farmers and some of the poorest of the poor.
Ash would be especially deadly to people and livestock (on which livelihoods depend), and a potential disaster for jet aircraft.
Models of the Earth - Mapping
This document discusses models of the Earth and methods for finding locations on its surface. It explains that the globe is a spherical representation with no top or bottom and uses the Earth's rotation as a reference point. Latitude and longitude are used to specify locations, where latitude is the distance north or south of the equator and longitude is the distance east or west of the prime meridian. Various map projections like Mercator and conic are described which allow depicting the spherical Earth on a flat surface.
Models and dimensions of earth
Maps provide pictures of areas and regions that can tell us many things through correct interpretation. The Earth is approximately a sphere, and locations on its surface are commonly described using latitude and longitude, which are angular distances measured from the center. The Earth is most accurately described as an oblate spheroid, flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator. Observation of changes in the altitude of Polaris as one moves north or south provides evidence that the Earth is spherical.
Maps And Globes Are Models Of The Earth
1. Maps and globes are models that represent features on Earth's surface. Maps show natural and human features from an above view, while globes show Earth as seen from space with accurate sizes and shapes.
2. Maps use symbols to indicate different land features such as mountains, plateaus, and plains. They also use scales and legends to relate distances on maps to actual distances and explain symbols.
3. Latitude and longitude lines are used to locate positions on Earth, with latitude measuring distances north and south of the equator and longitude measuring distances east and west of the prime meridian.
Maps & globes
A globe is a three-dimensional scale model of the Earth that shows the hemispheres, while a map is a flat representation of part of the Earth that can include different types of information through symbols and a compass rose indicating cardinal directions. Maps have keys that explain their symbols and can focus on specific areas from the entire world down to individual states or counties.
Maps and globes
This document provides information about maps and globes, including their advantages and disadvantages. It explains that globes accurately show the shapes and sizes of landmasses and oceans, while maps represent these on a flat surface, which can distort sizes and distances. The document also defines geographic lines like the equator and prime meridian that divide the globe. It notes different map projections can distort shapes depending on their purpose. Finally, it poses questions about locations of cities and superlatives like largest bodies of water and countries.

Evaluation Questions
The document discusses the evaluation of a student's media product which was a newspaper.
It summarizes how the student used conventions of real newspapers by adopting a broadsheet layout format and font style to make the product seem realistic. It also discusses how the student developed conventions by targeting niche audiences and challenges conventions through unique design elements like the 3D logo.
The student learned from audience feedback that minor text changes were needed and positive feedback validated the work. Different technologies were used at various stages - from research online to construction using software to evaluation using presentation tools. The document discusses how technological convergence allows using different devices for multiple tasks.
Comparison of my products to existing media products
The document compares and contrasts aspects of the layout, design, and advertising approaches between the student's mock newspaper and several real newspapers. Key differences noted include placement of logos and mastheads, use of images, headline and article placement, size and placement of advertisements. Advertising approaches like color selection, information included, and ending techniques are also evaluated between the student's posters and radio ads and those used by real newspapers. Overall, the document provides a critical analysis of the design and advertising strategies used in the student's newspaper prototype versus established industry practices.
