(Video) 5 Scary Videos That Freak Me Out 166) A(n)_____ is a recent development in cartography that readily allows computer manipulation of maps of Earth's surface.C) digital elevation modelFAQsWhat is the major dilemma of mapmaking? ›From the beginning, mapmakers have had to contend with the problems inherent in translating the surface of a three-dimensional spherical object (the Earth) to the flat plane of a map. Which remote sensing systems sense the longest wavelengths? ›7 µm - 3.0 µm) is used for remote sensing. Thermal IR (3 µm - 35 µm) is the radiation emitted from earth's surface in the form of heat and used for remote sensing. This is the longest wavelength used in remote sensing. The shortest wavelengths in this range have properties similar to thermal infrared region. Is the science of obtaining reliable measurements from photographs? ›Photogrammetry is the science and technology of obtaining reliable information about physical objects and the environment through the process of recording, measuring and interpreting photographic images and patterns of electromagnetic radiant imagery and other phenomena. Which of the following is not a map essential? ›Option (C) Volume is the correct option. Maps being a two-dimensional tool does not have the possibility of computing volumes. Volumes of maps are unnecessary and are not part of the features of maps hence this is the correct answer since it is not needed in maps. What difficulties do mapmakers face when trying to make an accurate map? ›Modern cartographers face three major design challenges when creating a map. First, they must figure out how to represent three-dimensional objects in two dimensions. Second, cartographers must represent geographic relationships at a reduced size while maintaining their proportional relationships. What are the challenges and limitations of projecting the Earth into a map? ›Because you can't display 3D surfaces perfectly in two dimensions, distortions always occur. For example, map projections distort distance, direction, scale, and area. Every projection has strengths and weaknesses. All in all, it is up to the cartographer to determine what projection is most favorable for its purpose. What are the 5 main components of a remote sensing system? ›
Which type of satellite is used in remote sensing? ›Satellites can be classified by their orbital geometry and timing. Three types of orbits are typically used in remote sensing satellites, such as geostationary, equatorial, and sun-synchronous orbits. Which wave is used in remote sensing? ›For most purposes, the ultraviolet or UV portion of the spectrum has the shortest wavelengths which are practical for remote sensing. This radiation is just beyond the violet portion of the visible wavelengths, hence its name. Which sensor is used to capture aerial photographs? ›The RADAR sensor can collect detailed imagery during the night or day, as it provides its own energy source, and is able to penetrate and "see" through cloud cover due to the long wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation. What is photogrammetry in simple words? ›Definition of photogrammetry : the science of making reliable measurements by the use of photographs and especially aerial photographs (as in surveying) What are the different types of photogrammetry? ›Two general types of photogrammetry exist: aerial (with the camera in the air) and terrestrial (with the camera handheld or on a tripod). Terrestrial photogrammetry dealing with object distances up to ca. 200 m is also termed close-range photogrammetry. What are the two major branches of geography? ›With such a massive scope, the field of geography has been divided and subdivided into myriad branches. The two primary divisions are physical geography and human geography. How many types of maps are there? ›There are two main types of maps - political maps and physical maps. Physical maps show the shape of the land - hills, lakes, forests, the coast and so on. Political maps show how the land is used by people - counties, provinces, countries, town boundaries, etc. What are 4 types of map projections? ›What Are The 4 Main Types Of Map projections
Why do maps show Greenland so big? ›Mercator maps distort the shape and relative size of continents, particularly near the poles. This is why Greenland appears to be similar in size to all of South America on Mercator maps, when in fact South America is more than eight times larger than Greenland. Why is Africa smaller on map? ›The world map you are probably familiar with is called the Mercator projection (below), which was developed all the way back in 1569 and greatly distorts the relative areas of land masses. It makes Africa look tiny, and Greenland and Russia appear huge. What are the 3 types of scales on a map? ›There are three primary ways to indicate scale on a map: a representative fraction (e.g., 1:24,000), a verbal scale (e.g., “One inch to the mile”), or a graphic scale bar. What are the 3 types of map projections? ›Conceptually, there are three types of surfaces that a map can be projected onto: a cylinder, a cone, and a plane. Each of these surfaces can be laid flat without distortion. Projections based on each surface can be used for mapping particular parts of the world. What is the importance of map projection? ›Since the Earth is roughly the shape of an oblate spheroid, map projections are necessary for creating maps of the Earth or parts of the Earth that are represented on a plane such as a piece of paper or a computer screen. What is the basic principle of remote sensing? ›"Remote sensing is the science (and to some extent, art) of acquiring information about the Earth's surface without actually being in contact with it. This is done by sensing and recording reflected or emitted energy and processing, analyzing, and applying that information." What is the basic concept of remote sensing? ›Remote sensing is the process of detecting and monitoring the physical characteristics of an area by measuring its reflected and emitted radiation at a distance (typically from satellite or aircraft). Special cameras collect remotely sensed images, which help researchers "sense" things about the Earth. What is the full form of GIS? ›A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer system that analyzes and displays geographically referenced information. It uses data that is attached to a unique location. What are the 3 remote sensing? ›There are three broad categories of remote sensing platforms: ground based, airborne, and satellite. What are the two main types of satellites? ›There are two different types of satellites – natural and man-made. Examples of natural satellites are the Earth and Moon. The Earth rotates around the Sun and the Moon rotates around the Earth. A man-made satellite is a machine that is launched into space and orbits around a body in space. What is the graticule quizlet? ›What is the graticule? a name given to the system of lines used to locate points on Earth's surface. How do the maps produced by Worldmapper promote alternate views of the world? ›How do the maps produced by Worldmapper promote alternate views of the world? They distort the size of countries based on the prevalence of particular phenomena such as HIV. How many satellites does it take for GPS to register an accurate location? ›It takes four GPS satellites to calculate a precise location on the Earth using the Global Positioning System: three to determine a position on the Earth, and one to adjust for the error in the receiver's clock. 1.

It is considered the most accurate projection in the mapping world for its way of showing relative areas of landmasses and oceans with very little distortion of shapes.
What type of map projection is usually used for world maps?One of the most famous map projections is the Mercator, created by a Flemish cartographer and geographer, Geradus Mercator in 1569. It became the standard map projection for nautical purposes because of its ability to represent lines of constant true direction.
What is the major dilemma of mapmaking?From the beginning, mapmakers have had to contend with the problems inherent in translating the surface of a three-dimensional spherical object (the Earth) to the flat plane of a map.
