Map Projections
• Cartographers have to deal with the problem of making maps of a spherical earth onto a flat surface
– Leads to distortions
• Shape can be distorted
• Distance between two points can increase or decrease
• Relative size may be altered, areas can appear much larger than they really are
• Direction can be distorted

Robinson Projection
• More accurately shows the area near the poles
• Used to show proportions of land to water
• Distorts cardinal directions and distance

Mercator Projection
• Used primarily for navigation since it is easiest to plot direction
• Increased distortion the further away from the equator
• Makes the North look much larger

Gall-Peters Projection
• Focuses more on land area accuracy
• Released in 1974, based off a 1800 design
• More accurately shows southern hemisphere as larger than Northern Hemisphere
• Areas near the poles are stretched horizontally
