NAME:
1) Review the statements below:
I. Geographical coordinates are a set of imaginary lines (parallel and meridians) that serve to locate a point or a geographic feature on the earth's surface.
II.Latitude is the distance in degrees from a place to the equator.
III.Longitude is the distance in degrees from a point to the Earth's surface to the Greenwich Meridian.
IV.Parallels are imaginary lines drawn parallel to the Greenwich Meridian.
Check the alternative that has an incorrect statement:
THERE
B) II
C) III
D) IV
2) Analyze the above and fill in the gaps with the words below:
maps, meridians, globe, numerical scale
a) The __________ are imaginary semicircles drawn over the Earth from pole to pole and composed of points of the same longitude.
b) The ______ represent one of the main instruments not only for analyzing and interpreting spatial reality, but also for interfering with it, planning actions and proposing changes.
c) The_________ is the representation of the Earth that comes closest to reality, as despite being a reduced representation and simplified has advantages: its shape is similar to the Earth and in it you can see the continents and oceans in their positions real relatives.
d) _________________ is a fraction or proportion that establishes the relationship between the graphic distance, that is, the distance or length on the map, and the corresponding distance on the ground.
3) The definitive impetus for the development of the ________________ started in 1569, with the publication of the world map by the Belgian cartographer Mercátor (1512-1594), who created the cylindrical projection.
Check the alternative that fills in the blank above:
a) ( ) Geography
b) ( ) Cartography
c) ( ) Mercator Projection
d) ( )The conical projection
4) About Mercator Projection:
I. The Mercátor projection is cylindrical and in it the parallels and meridians are straight lines that intersect, forming right angles
.II. The Mercator projection is round and in it the parallels and meridians are straight lines that intersect, forming right angles.
III. Mercator's projection is cylindrical and in it the parallels and meridians are curved lines that intersect, forming right angles.
IV. The Mercator projection is rectangular and in it the parallels and meridians are straight points that intersect, forming right angles.
The alternative is correct:
there
b) II
c) III
d) IV
5) Figure 1 shows an equivalent projection, that is, the Earth's areas retain their size proportionally correct, but they are stretched, through a deformation of the angles of the coordinates. These characteristics represent the projection of:
a) Aitoff
b) Goode
c) Mercator
d) Peters
