Projection of Maps
This projection preserves angles but distorts size, especially near the poles, making it useful for navigation.
What is Mercator?
This map uses dots to represent the presence or quantity of a variable in a specific area, effectively illustrating spatial patterns.
What is Dot Distribution Map?
This scale provides a broad view of large areas, showing fewer details and emphasizing general trends or patterns over extensive regions.
What is small scale?
This type of diffusion is the process by which cultural traits or innovations spread from one location to another through the movement of people, often leading to the adoption of these traits in a new area.
This continent is home to the largest country by area, Canada, as well as the United States and Mexico.
What is North America?
This map projection balances size and shape distortion, providing a more visually appealing representation of the world.
What is Robinson?
This map uses color shading to represent data values across geographic areas, highlighting variations in a specific variable.
What is Choropleth Map?
This scale offers a detailed view of a smaller area, highlighting specific features and providing in-depth information about the geography and layout.
What is Large Scale?
This type of diffusion is the rapid spread of cultural traits or innovations through a population, often resembling the way diseases spread, where ideas or practices are adopted by individuals nearby, regardless of social status.
What is Contagious Diffusion?
This continent includes countries like Germany, France, and Italy, and is home to landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and the Colosseum.
What is Europe?
This map projection is an equal-area map that accurately represents sizes but distorts shapes, making it useful for displaying global data.
What is Mollweide?
This map uses lines to connect points of equal value, effectively illustrating gradients and variations in a specific variable, such as elevation or temperature.
What is Isoline Map?
This region is defined by specific, measurable characteristics, such as political boundaries, climate, or cultural traits, where uniformity is present throughout the area.
What is Formal Region?
This type of diffusion is the spread of cultural traits or innovations from larger, influential nodes or centers to smaller, less influential areas, often following social hierarchies or established networks, such as trends moving from major cities to rural areas.
What is Hierarchical Diffusion?
This continent includes countries like China, India, and Japan, and is known for landmarks such as the Great Wall and Mount Everest.
What is Asia?
This map projection is an equal-area map that minimizes distortion of landmasses but interrupts the oceans, making it useful for thematic mapping.
What is Goode Homolosine?
This map distorts the shape of geographic areas based on a specific variable, effectively representing data values while altering familiar geography for emphasis.
What is Cartogram map?
This region is defined by a central hub and its surrounding areas, characterized by specific functions or interactions, such as a metropolitan area and its suburbs.
What is Functional Region?
This type of diffusion is the process where a cultural trait or innovation spreads, but is adapted or modified when it reaches a new location, leading to variations of the original idea rather than a direct transfer.
What is Stimulus Diffusion?
This continent includes countries like Egypt, Nigeria, and South Africa, and is home to landmarks such as the Sahara Desert and Mount Kilimanjaro.
What is Africa?
This map unfolds the globe into a polyhedral format, minimizing distortion of landmasses and emphasizing spatial relationships.
What is Dymaxion?
This map uses symbols of varying sizes to represent data values at specific locations, visually conveying differences in quantity or intensity across a geographic area.
What is Graduated Symbol?
This region is based on subjective feelings and opinions, shaped by cultural identity and personal perception, rather than strict geographic or political boundaries.
What is Perceptual Region?

This continent includes countries like Brazil, Argentina, and Peru, and is famous for landmarks such as the Amazon River and Machu Picchu.
What is South America?
