ALESSIA CAMELLITI EXERCISE QUESTIONS CHAPTER 6 1. How do the conventional choropleth technique and the unclassed choropleth technique differ? The conventional chorophleth technique groups the data values into classes with an unique areal symbol; in the unclassed choropleth technique each value is symbolized by its own unique areal symbol. 2. When employing the conventional choropleth technique‚ approximately how many classes should you use? In the conventional choropleth technique you

for war or general education‚ cartography has developed over time in an astonishing way. While analysing the quote ‘Cartographers have strongly emphasised the visible‚ the tangible‚ the static‚ the physical and the historical values over the invisible‚ intangible‚ dynamic‚ human and futurist aspects of the world’ by Muehrke‚ I began to understand the graphic projections have a long history in creating visual representations. This essay will argue that cartography develops a better understanding

In geomatics or geospatial science and engineering: Mapping usually refers to map-making and often used instead of cartography. Mapping term is also sometimes used for geospatial data collection or (e.g. LIDAR mapping) but in fact it is not mapping because a map is created through some cartographic works (i.e. determining the scale/level of detail and content of geographic or cartographic database‚ entry criteria and symbol specification for geospatial objects‚ generalization‚ layout design etc

Early Maps Cartography was used as far back as the time of the Greeks but the first sign of even a single drawing was in the time period of the Cave Men and with that it has developed over the years up until today where Cartography is called Maps which are used of the people of the twenty first (21st) century and maps are essential tools to help define‚ explain and navigate their way around the earth. Maps began as two-dimensional drawings but can also adopt three-dimensional shapes (globes‚ models)
