GEOG 1502 UMN Exam #1 (Chapters 1-5)
Accuracy - correct answer-how well data on a map align with objects in the world
Age of Exploration - correct answer-late 1400s+, increased exploration by European
countries, more maps made for exploration
Analytical Mapping - correct answer-1800s+, maps used to explore the role of a location and
to answer questions
Attribute - correct answer-WHAT characteristics the object or event has
Attribute Accuracy - correct answer-whether characteristics reported about an object are true
about that object in the world
Attribute Interoperability - correct answer-how well do the categories of two datasets match
Attribution Resolution - correct answer-degree to which distinctions are made between
categories (older or younger than 18 VS 0-18, 18-34,34-64, etc.)
Balance - correct answer-Visually balance organization of map elements.
Cartogram - correct answer-Thematic map that distorts areas' shapes to show the quantity of
the attribute being measured. More distortion means greater quantity.
Choropleth Map - correct answer-Thematic map that uses either hue or value to show
different quantities.
Classification - correct answer-Simplify a wide range of values into something that can be
easy to interpret on a map.
Conformal Projection - correct answer-Preserves shape and angle, strongly distorts area
Coordinates - correct answer-Set of two or more numbers that specifies location in relation
to a reference system
Data - correct answer-facts and information that the map portrays
Density map - correct answer-Thematic map used to depict concentration of point measures.
Dot Density Map - correct answer-Thematic map that uses dots to show a comparative
density of features over a base map.
Equal Area Projection - correct answer-Preserves area, shapes will likely be compressed
compared to their globe shape
