So today in class we went over the topics that are going to be on our test which is Friday:( One of the topics we need to know is absolute location. Absolute location is the exact location something is, it include the longitude and latitude. We also learned about relative location which is when the places around the location are given and not the exact spot. We also went over the four types of distortion which is.......
1. the shape of an area can be distorted
2. the distance between points may become increased or decreased
3. relative size of different areas can be altered
4. direction between points can be distorted
We also need to know the definition of a map
map: diagrammatic representation of an area of land or sea showing physical features, cities, roads, etc.
We also need to know what cartography means.....
Cartography: the science or practice of drawing maps
We need to know many more things and thats only a little bit.
