the Test
reference maps - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔maps used to display important physical
elements of a specific geographic area, such as countries, rivers,
mountains, etc.
thematic maps - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔specialized maps used to understand one
particular attribute or characteristic of a specific geographic area; examples
are population maps, weather maps, and maps illustrating the spread of
disease
literal maps - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔maps that strive to display the objective truth
about a specific geographic area
,figurative maps - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔maps that use symbols to represent a
narrative or point of view; they are much less concerned with physical
accuracy than are literal maps
analytical mapping - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔the use of cartography techniques to
uncover and learn about patterns and trends in a specific geographic area
map scale - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔how the measurement of distance on a map
corresponds to the distance on the ground in the real world
representative fraction (RF) - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔a way of describing the scale
of a map by using a ratio
small-scale - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔a way of describing a map with a relatively
small RF, where the various features of the geography appear relatively
small
large-scale - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔a way of describing a map with a relatively
large RF, where the various features of the geography appear relatively
large
coordinates - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔the points on a specified reference system
that define the location of a particular place
, Cartesian coordinate system - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔a reference system for a
plane (a flat surface) based on the work of mathematician Rene Descartes,
using x- and y-axes.
geographic coordinate system - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔the reference system
devised to locate particular places on the surface of the earth, using lines of
latitude and longitude
longitude - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔one of a set of imaginary east-west lines that
form part of the geographic coordinate system
prime meridian - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔the line of longitude that passes through
Greenwich, UK, which is the starting point for counting the rest of the lines
of longitude
latitude - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔one of a set of imaginary north-south lines that
form part of the geographic coordinate system
graticule - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔the grid pattern in the geographic coordinate
system
projection - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔a method of "flattening" a globe into a form that
can be represented on a flat surface
