Reference Maps and Thematic Maps vary across the globe. Which of the following is the correct answer?
A. Mental Maps are only found using GPS
B.Mental Maps are only useful by Geocachers who use GPS to post clues worldwide
C.Mental Maps are used for remote sensing and GIS
D.Mental Maps include our activity space and terra incognita
E.Mental Maps include generalized maps and regional trends
Mental Maps are created in our mind of palces we have visited or heard of. Which answer best descripes mental maps?
The answer choices are the same as the first question.
I think for both questions the answer is D but I'm not sure because they're 2 different questions with the same answer choices
Was it a mess up on the first question because the answer choices don't make sense
I think you're right. The first set of answers don't match the question. D must be the answer for the second question.
For the first question, the correct answer is D. Mental Maps include our activity space and terra incognita.
To arrive at this answer, let's understand the options from the first question:
A. Mental Maps are only found using GPS: This statement is not accurate. Mental Maps are not limited to GPS usage. They are created in our minds based on our experiences and perceptions.
B. Mental Maps are only useful by Geocachers who use GPS to post clues worldwide: Geocaching is a recreational activity, not necessarily related to Mental Maps. Mental Maps are not limited to geocachers or GPS usage.
C. Mental Maps are used for remote sensing and GIS: Remote sensing and GIS (Geographic Information System) are technologies used to collect and analyze spatial data. While Mental Maps might be used in conjunction with remote sensing and GIS, the statement does not accurately describe Mental Maps as a whole.
D. Mental Maps include our activity space and terra incognita: This is the correct answer. Mental Maps refer to the maps we create in our minds based on our perception of places we have visited or heard of. It includes our known activity space (places we are familiar with) and the unknown areas (terra incognita) that we haven't explored or have limited knowledge about.
E. Mental Maps include generalized maps and regional trends: While Mental Maps can be influenced by generalized maps and regional trends, this statement doesn't entirely capture the essence of Mental Maps.
For the second question, the best description for Mental Maps is also D: Mental Maps include our activity space and terra incognita. This aligns with the definition of Mental Maps as the maps we create in our minds based on our experiences and perceptions of various places.
