Height above sea level

• elevation

• latitude

• longitude

• distance decay

Reducing in the time it takes to spread something to a distance place as a result of improved communications and transportation systems

• Distance decay

• elevation

• relief

• Time space compression

a mercator projection map has the best use for

• hiking

• traveling

• sea navigation

• predicting weather

Parallels are also known as

• latitude

• longitude

• barometric lines

• geometric lines

longitude lines indicate

• distance north and south of equator

• distance north and south of the prime meridian

• distance east and west of the equator

• distance east and west of the prime meridian

imaginary lines that follow the Earth's curvature to identify the shortest distances between two points are called

• conical projections

• geometric meridians

• great circle routes

• longitudinal circle line

Type of projection that is most accurate at the equator

• cylindrical projection

• conic projection

• planar projections

• gall-peters

flat representation of all or part of the planet

• globe

• map

• azimuthal projection

• Robinson projection

Type of map that shows location and topography of the Earth's land

• Thematic map

• reference map

• political map

• physical map

Location in relation to other places

• absolute location

• azimuthal projection

• latitude and longitude

• relative location
