maps

today in class, we took notes on different maps and map scales. we learned how the one map has a bunch of distortions because like each of the countries were bigger or smaller than what they are supposed to be. alaska was a lot bigger than texas even though they are both pretty the same size. africa and greenland were the same size even though africa is 14 times bigger and europe was a lot smaller than what it is supposed to be. the newer map, peters world map was a lot more stretched out which made it so much more accurate and the countries were not as distorted.
