Maps 3.0
Today we talked about maps again. It was on how if maps aren't on globes, they are inaccurate. It is impossible to have an accurate map on a flat paper. It's impossible because at the top of the map it is saying that there is the same distance around the top as the equator. That simply just isn't true. In class we also saw Mr. Shcick kick Roberts desk because he was asleep and wasn't paying attention. It was pretty funny because I like Robert but he has some problems when it comes to school and discipline. Finally, we talked about longitude and latitude. The grid for directions and time zones on the globe. In the end, there are many flaws with many maps and it will be a lang time until we can get a perfect one.
