- CARTOGRAPHER
- PRACTICE MAKING MAPS AND GLOBES
- PROJECTIONS
- REDUCE DISTORTS; 3 COMMON PROJECTIONS
- MERCATOR PROJECTION
- SHOWS STRAIGHT LINES;DISTORTS DISTANCE NEAR AND POLES;NAVIGATION AT SEA
- GNOMONIC PROJECTION
- SHORTEST DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS;LAND DISTORTED FROM CENTER;OCEAN VOYAGES
- POLYCONIC PROJECTION

- EQUATOR
- IMAGIONARY LINE DIVIDING NORTH&SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES 0 DEGRESS
- PRIME MERIDIAN
- DIVIDES EASTERN AND WESTERN HEMISHPERES
- LONGITUDE
- HALF CIRCLES;NORTH SOUTH BETWEEN POLES;MEASURED IN DEGRESS WEST OF PRIME MERDIAIN
- LATITUDE
- PARALLEL LINES CIRCLE WORLD EAST TO WEST
- MAP SCALES
- TELL YOU MAPS SIZE COMAPRED TO EARTHS SURFACE
- RADAR
- SENDS OUT RADIO SIGNALS;ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES A PATTERN OF MAGNETIC AND ELECTRIC ENERGY;PSEE THROUGHT CLOUDS
- GRADICULE
- GRID OF IMAGIONARY LINES
- HEMISPHERE
- DIVIDES PLANET INTO HALVES;NORTH & WEST
- HOW RADAR WORKS
- RADIO SIGNAL BOUNCES OFF ANY OBJECT IT HITS
- SATELLITE
- USE SENSORS TO DETECT CHANGES IN THE WAVE LEGNTH OF LIGHT THAT IS REFLECTED FROM THE EARTHS SURFACE
- GPS
- WEB OF 24 SATELLITES;STARTED MILITARY; IUSED TO MEASURE SPEED, TIME WEATHER ECT..
- G.I.S
- COMPUTER SYSTEM; DISPLAY DATA INDENTIFED BY LOCATION
- LAND SURNEYOR
- COLLECT INFORMATION ABOUT A PLOT OF LAND;BOUNDARIES;ARFTIFICIAL;NATURAL STRUCTURES
- HOW IS DATA COLLECTS FORM SATELLITES TO COMPUTER
- DATA COLLECTED CONVERTED ONTO CODE;THEN PIXALS;COMPUTERCONVERTS THE PIXALS INTO USABLE IMAGES
- TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS
- SHOWS TOPOGRAPHY OF AN AREA;SHOWS SHAPE OF THE EARTHS SURFACE;USE CONTOUR LINES
- TOPTGRAPHY
- LANDFORMS;CLIFFS,MOUNTAINS;STREETS
- RELIEF
- HIGHS AND LOWS OF AN AREA;MPUNTAINS CKIFFS;STREETS
- CONTOUR LINES
- LANDSCAPES ELEVELATION OR HEIGHT ABOOVE SEA LEVEL
- CONTOUR INTERVAL
- DIFFERECE IN ELEVATION BETWEEN TWO CONTOUR LINES
- SLOPE
- DISTANCE BETWEEN CONTOUR INES' STEEPNESS OF LADSCAPE
- CONTOUR LINES FAR APART
- LANDSCAPE FLAT
- DETERMINE SLOPE
- RISE/RUN;DIVIDE CHANGE IN ELEVATION BY DISTANCE COVERED
- CONTOUR LINES CLOSE TOGETHER
- LANSCAPE STEEP
- START POINT IS 14OO FT;SUMMIT IS 3165 FT::::::FIND SLOPE:..:.::
- 706 PER MILE;SUBTRACT 1400 FROM 3165= 1765FT * 2.5( TWO AND A HALF)
- SPOT ELEVATION
- ELLEVATIONS OF ROAD FORKS,LAKE SURFACES;SHOWN ON MAP AS SMALL CROSSES
- ISOBATHS
