Way of depicting the world in a reduced form.
Two Kinds: Cartographic scale : expresses ratio of
distance on map to Earth. Observational / methodological scale –
levels of analysis.Local, regional, national, international
scales

As a ratio or fraction, depicting the relationship between the distance on the map and the distance in real life.
A written scale-an actual statement.
A graphic scale, which is usually a bar.

Small scale maps have small land features, but more area is shown.
Large scale maps show larger land features, but you see less area covered.

Since the Earth is round, geographers have to find a way to get an accurate flat representation of the Earth’s features.
The projection is the process of transferring the features.

The shape can be distorted. The distance between two points can be
increased or decreased. The relative size of areas may be
altered-so countries might look bigger than others when they shouldn’t.
The direction from one place to another can be distorted.

Making a map always involves a choice about what properties you are going to sacrifice, and what ones you are going to keep.
Cartographers have to consider the purpose for which the map they are making will be used.

Data is “geocoded” or assigned a mathematical position on Earth.
A tool for creating maps or for spatial analyses.
