| relief | the shape of the earth's suface hills(hills,valleys,slopes) |
| distortion | exaggeration of shapes/sizes |
| raised | surface in 3d, can be seen of felt, vertical exxageration, obvous relief by sight or touch, can be misleading |
| shaded | artistic shading gives illusion of surafce relief, relief is obvious by sight can be easily produced, shading can make details diffuclt to see, not accurate in elevation |
| color relief | relief shown using different colors to represent range of elevation, looks cool, some presition , colors can be confusing |
| topo garafic | relief is shown using contor lines, exellent precistionto use you need to know how to use it, relief is not evident from a distance |
| mercator | cylander placed around the globe, easy to leard latitude and longitude, equator is almost perfect, lots of distortion at the poles |
| azimuthal | put paper on the top, very little distortion at the poles, dramatic distortion at the poles |
| conic | form paper into cone, do distortion where it touched, can be adjusted to anywhere on the globe, entire globe cant be represented |
| map units | units used on the map ex.) cm, inches |
| ground units | units used to actually walk the real didtance ex.) meters, miles, km |
| map scale | ratio of map units to ground units |
| verbal scale | scale expressed in words and numbers ex.) 1 cm=10km |
| representitive fraction | scale expressed in a numerical ratio without units ex.) 1:24000, 1:100000 |
| bar scale | scale expressed in a graphical format |
| small scale | small detail, cover less ground area, but do it with greater detail |
| large scale | alot of detail, cover less ground area but do it with greater detail |
| latitude | left to right, parallels, 0-90, north to equator |
| longitude | top to bottom, meridan,0-180 north to south, prime meridian |
| parallels | any circle that runs east and west around the earth parallel to the equator |
| meridians | semi circles on the earth that runs from pole to pole |
| legend | maps often have symbols for features such as cities, capitols, and rivers |
