………………
I got this!!!!! Just
stretch it out

Greenland is HUGE!!!!!!!
Mercator Projection
Wow!! North America makes South America look puny.

Map projection – taking a three dimensional object (Earth), and representing it in a two dimensional aspect (Map).
Mercator Projection – exaggerated land features to maintain accuracy in water features and straight lines. There were no planes, trains, and automobiles back then. Think ships and keeping them on course

Peters Projection – land surface is represented moreaccurately, but in doing so, elongates the continents to achieve this.

Winkel Tripel Projection – and others similar are versions that attempt to eliminate the distortion in square maps and maintain more accurate size and proximity

Latitude/Parallel Longitude/Meridian
Equator – the main belt…zero line of latitude
Prime Meridian – the main buttons…zero line of longitude
(East and West)(North and South)
