Physical Map______________________________________________________________________________________Ex. Choropleth MapDescribe the following terms:Absolute DistanceRelative DistanceClustering Dispersal Elevation An absolute distance is the exact measurement of the physical space between two places. Using the amount of miles that separates two places is an example of absolute distance.A relative distance is the approximate measurement of the physical space between two places. Saying that something is about 20 minutes away from another place is using the relative distance.The altitude of a place above sea level or groundIdentify the different map projections below and provide the positive/negative characteristicsType of Projection CharacteristicsMercator GoodeFullerDoes not use cardinal directions, maintains accurate size and shape RobinsonWhat is distortion AND why do all maps have it?TOPIC 1.2 Geographic DataVideo Link: AND Pages 1 - 33TermDefinitionExamples in real-worldQualitative Researchdescribes, characteristics, approximates, descriptions, based off opinion.QuantitativeResearchdefines, tells you a quantity, numbers, hard data, (quantifiable), statisticsWhat is a geographic information system (GIS)?What is remote sensing?
