Thematic map

are generally determined by people rather than nature. Such maps are called political maps. Maps may also focus on the geography of the area and will often have shaded relief to show the mountains and valleys. Typical colors are blues, greens and browns. Many rivers, mountains and lake features are usually labeled. These maps are called physical maps. Thematic maps show a particular theme connected with a specific geographic area. These maps portray physical, social, political, cultural,…

and define key terms…) Google map is a tool that people nowadays may be installed in their smartphones. Not only this, maps are wisely used in different places such as theme parks for way finding purposes. However, it is different to know how the readability, usability of those maps. “Maps are graphic representations that facilitate a spatial understanding of things, concepts, conditions, processes, or events in the human world” (Harley and Woodward 1987: xvi). A map is formed by two methods,…

I developed this Thematic Unit for a class of 6th graders. This 6th grade class is made up of 20 students. 16 of those students are in the general education program, two are in the ESOL program (one student is ESOL level II, and one student is ESOL level IV), and two are students with exceptionalities (one student has ADHD, and one student has a mild vision impairment. The majority are Hispanics, 10 to be exact. The remaining 6 students are Americans, and come from a multi-generational American…

Thematic Map Project: Modern Slavery Max Fisher, writer for the Washington Post brings to focus a global problem that is only scarcely known.While some may think that modern slavery is a modified, less intense version of the slavery we learn about in history class. That mindset is very wrong. After watching a Ted Talk that personally told the stories of modern day slaves, my heart was broken. These people are stripped of all their rights and freedom in order to work themselves to death. Whether…

Qcalmax=Maximum Quantized Calibrated Pixel values corresponding to Lmaxλ Qcalmin=Minimum Quantized Calibrated Pixel values corresponding to Lminλ Qcal=Quantized Calibration Pixel value (DN) 3.4.5. Conversion to top of atmosphere (TOA) reflectance Landsat Thematic Mapper top of atmosphere reflectance data must be corrected and processed .because of variation in solar zenith angle due to time difference between data acquisition. The gained output also calibrated to reflectance value. Equation 3.10…

Map analysis is to explain the details and characteristics of the map and tell exactly what type of map it is. There are several different types of maps; the type of map I chosen to analyze is a thematic map of Kentucky. I chose the state of Kentucky because that is half of my heritage. My Momma is from Kentucky and that is where the entire side of my Momma’s family is from and currently live. The map I chose shows in great detail of the highways and interstates. It also shows the boundary of…

start to making their own map for different use. As we all know, map-making costs very high and involves a complicated process. However, why do many government and institution are still willing to invest such huge resources to making a map? The reason is that it is very valuable as a way of recording and storing information, a means of analyzing locational distributions and spatial patterns and a method of presenting information and communicating findings. In addition, a map can convey spatial…

stands beside a table. A chair is pulled out from the table; perhaps it is the woman’s seat. Behind her, a large map of the Netherlands hangs on the wall. Interestingly, the map is based on a known map and also appears in Vermeer’s painting, Officer and Laughing Girl. Despite the accurate depiction of the map, its size is adjusted to fit the composition. It is larger than the real map, as well as the depiction in Officer and Laughing Girl. This shows Vermeer’s interest in line and size as a…

Furthermore, the curriculum map includes various strategical instructional implementations to assist all varying learning modalities of the various learning styles that are found in classrooms. The technology strategies include virtual manipulative, games, learning videos, and other…

Question 2: Map scale is the ratio of the straight line distance between any two points on a map to the straight line distance between the same two points on the earth’s surface. Now when looking at map scale there a few concepts for instance, ratio (representational fraction) scale is a concept of map scale. Ratio scale is always neutral in the scale measurement used on the map. So when looking at a map scale of 1:50 000 it means that 1 unit of measurement on the map is equal to 50 000 of the…
