<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Globes are the most accurate way to represent the surface of the Earth. However, because it is not practical to carry a globe into the field, map makers must figure out how to represent a round map on a flat piece of paper, or on a flat screen. As a result there are a number of different map projections that we can use to look at the world as a whole. Maps are the most common tools use by geographers to show spatial distribution and features of the different environments around the world. This lesson we will look at the different features that make up a map and the different map projections of the world that we use today. =====

There are four map projections that we will examine during this lesson, these are Peters Projection, <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">[|Mercator Projection], Conical Projection, and the Azimuthal Projection. =====
