What is this?
![Page 30: Fostering Historical Inquiry in the Middle Years Classroom](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042601/555e3b9ad8b42a63048b4dd8/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
This is the Mercator map (1596).
For most of the 20th century, the National
Geographic Society, various atlases, and
classroom wall cartographers used the Mercator
projection for most world maps.
Cartography: study of maps, making of maps

Do you see any problem with using this map in the classroom?

Actual Statistics
Greenland: 2.175 million sq km Africa: 31 million sq km Africa is 14 times larger than Greenland!
In fact:
Africa could hold the land occupied by China, India, Europe, Argentina, New Zealand and the continental United States, with room to spare!

The North compared to the South
Actual statistics
The North is 49 million sq km.
The South is 100 million sq km.

Europe compared to South America

km.
South America is 17.9 million sq km.

Why does this distortion occur?
Geradus Mercator invented his famous projection in 1596 as an aid to
navigators. On his map, lines of latitude and longitude intersect at right
angles and thus the direction of travel - the rhumb line - is consistent. It is
a cylindrical map, that's why the landforms on this map become
increasingly distorted the farther you get from the equator. The distortion
of the Mercator Map increases as you move north and south from the
equator.
Mercator never intended his map to be used for purposes other than
navigation although it became one of the most popular world map
projections.
![Page 37: Fostering Historical Inquiry in the Middle Years Classroom](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042601/555e3b9ad8b42a63048b4dd8/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Why was the Mercator Map used when the distortion was known?
This was convenient, psychologically and practically, through the eras of
colonial domination when most of the world powers were European. It
suited them to maintain an image of the world with Europe at the centre
and looking much larger than it really was. Was this conscious or
deliberate? Probably not, as most map users probably never realised the
Eurocentric bias inherent in their world view.
When there are so many other projections to chose from, why is it that
today the Mercator projection is still such a widely recognised image used
to represent the globe?

The Peters MapA different type of projection is an ‘Equal-Area’ projection. This shows sizes in proportion while sacrificing true shape. The Peters Projection (1974) is one type of equal area map.
![Page 39: Fostering Historical Inquiry in the Middle Years Classroom](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042601/555e3b9ad8b42a63048b4dd8/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
The Peters map cont. Here are some facts about the Peters map:
The Peters Map is an equal area map. This new map shows all areas - whether countries,
continents or oceans - according to their actual size. Accurate comparisons become possible.
The Peters Map is an equal axis map. All North-South lines run vertical on this map. Thus,
geographic points can be seen in their precise directional relationship.
The Peters Map shows equal positions. All East-West Lines run parallel. Thus the
relationship of any point on the map to its distance from the equator or the angle of the sun can readily be determined.
This map has caused a lot of controversy – why do you think
this is so?

Comparing the Mercator and the Peters map
Which one immediately looks more ‘normal’ to you?
Which one is the Mercator map?
