Projection Maps


Today you learned about the four major map projections. Which one is your favorite? Why? Include at least 1 picture.

My favorite is the Mercator Projection because I like the shape and I think it's interesting why it is like that.

Q&A Blog! :D

What grade do you expect in this class? How will you achieve that grade?
I would like to achieve an A this semester in Earth Science. I probably will get a B though because I don't remember things easily. :) I will try to achieve an A by paying attention more than I usually do, turn in work on time, try not to talk as much as I usually do and work to my fullest potential. I do have a feeling that I will do a pretty good job in this class.
