LA 1203 : LA Midterm
Document Summary
Lecture midterm review: map projection problem-impossible to rep on a flap map- angle, distance, direction, area, scale- have. To put on 3d projection- globe: mercator projection- cylindrical (1569) project onto cylinder and open it up flat. Goode"s interrupted projection- orange peel- tried to compensate for distortion of mercator: large scale- smaller area, more detail, larger representative fraction number- denominator small. Small scale- larger area, less detail, smaller rf number, denominator large: showing relief or elevation on a map, hillocks, hachures, contour line. Every elevation exact same on each line also use color and shading ie san andreas fault in. San fran. built reservoir and brick house on top of fault line had to insert metal rods. Through bricks to hold still for earthquake: lines, continental glaciation- southern extent - line shows maximum extent of continental. Glaciation: fall line- waterfall, change in elevation on rivers- highest you can go up a river.
