CHANGING FASHIONS IN WORLD MAPS.

No one world map protection can do it all - accurate distance, direction shape , and area . Over the years , different projections have come to the forefront .

             The Winkel Tripel projections , adopted in 1998 by the National Geographic Society , is most often chosen today for general reference.
            
            The Robinson projection was favoured for classrooms and textbooks from 1988 to 1998.

          The Van der Grinten projection was used by the National Geographic Society for most of it's political maps from 1922 into the 1980s.
    
        The Mercator projection , centuries old and test still broadly used , also distorts the relative sizes of Landmasses in high latitudes.

Fast Facts -- The first scholar to discribe a conical map projection was Ptolemy , in second - century Alexander , Egypt.

Azimuth--- In astronomy , gunnery , navigation and other fields , two coordinates describing the position of an object above the earth .

The scope of Geography Geography : From the Greek geo , Earth ,+ graphic , write about or describe . The systematic study of the physical Earth and it's human population - where things are and how they got there . The field is divided into two major areas : physical geography and human geography. Today Geography is rooted in location , but it involves more than the position of place - names on the map . It Integrates methods and knowledge from many different disciplines and encompasses both the physical and the social science . It links all these disciplines to determine why things happen in a particular location or according to particular spatial patterns .              Physical geography incorporates geology , climatology , biology , ecology , hydrogeology and other natural sciences. Human geography includes cultural anthropology , economics , political science , history , demography and other social science . Cartography , which is the art and science of

How map was made ?? The world in maps                 Think of how hard it is to peel an orange and press the resulting pieces of peel down flat on a table . That analogy represents the challenge faced by the mapmaker , who attempts to turn the spherical planet Earth into a flat visual representation. To tackle the challenge -- getting the surface of a sphere to lie flat cartographers use shape that lend themselves to flattening , such as planes , cones , and cylinders , known as developable surfaces .           By applying mathematical calculation to the developable surfaces, they can transform Earth's features into flat form's. Those forms are called projections and they rep the cha of mapmaking through the centuries.                Projections inevitable results in distortions . Those  distortions can be controlled to some de by the choice of map shape , which depends on which part of the planet is of most interest to the cartographer .
