This ranking is based on the potential privacy risks associated with each technology. Geotagging involves adding location information to online posts and can potentially reveal a user's exact whereabouts, making it the highest privacy concern. Volunteered geographic information refers to user-contributed location data, which may also contain personal information if not handled properly. Mashups combine different data sources, including potentially sensitive information, which can raise privacy concerns. Citizen science involves public participation in scientific research, and while it may involve sharing location data, the privacy concerns are generally lower compared to the previous technologies. The Mercator projection, a cartographic technique, does not directly involve sharing or collecting personal information, hence it has the least privacy concern in this list.
Which of the following best explains why a map scale is necessary? (1 point) Responses It allows a user of the map to assess distortions of continent size and shape. It allows a user of the map to assess distortions of continent size and shape. It allows a researcher to know how much it will cost to travel to a place. It allows a researcher to know how much it will cost to travel to a place. It allows a user of the map to determine distances between locations. It allows a user of the map to determine distances between locations. It allows contributors of volunteered geographic information to place data. It allows contributors of volunteered geographic information to place data. It allows a researcher to analyze changing features through remote sensing.
The correct response is: It allows a user of the map to determine distances between locations.
Comparing the three primary types of map projections, which statement accurately represents a specific projection’s treatment of the shapes and sizes of continents and oceans? (1 point) Responses The Mercator projection distorts the size and shape of a continent to reflect the size of its population. The Mercator projection distorts the size and shape of a continent to reflect the size of its population. The Robinson projection accurately represents the shapes of continents but distorts the size of oceans. The Robinson projection accurately represents the shapes of continents but distorts the size of oceans. The Goode Homolosine projection accurately represents the size and shape of continents but distorts the north to south meridians and east to west latitudes. The Goode Homolosine projection accurately represents the size and shape of continents but distorts the north to south meridians and east to west latitudes. The Mercator projection misrepresents the shapes of equatorial landmasses but accurately represents those at the poles. The Mercator projection misrepresents the shapes of equatorial landmasses but accurately represents those at the poles. The Robinson projection distorts landmasses at the poles and more accurately represents equatorial landmasses.
The correct response is: The Robinson projection accurately represents the shapes of continents but distorts the size of oceans.
How does the concept of the cultural landscape allow geographers to define and describe a region? Select all that apply. (1 point) Responses It puts the emphasis on cultural features, such as ethnicity, language, and religion, in defining a region. It puts the emphasis on cultural features, such as ethnicity, language, and religion, in defining a region. It puts the emphasis on the physical landscape and climate in defining a region. It puts the emphasis on the physical landscape and climate in defining a region. It considers physical geography as well as cultural and economic factors in defining a region. It considers physical geography as well as cultural and economic factors in defining a region. It prioritizes the political culture and legislative policies in defining a region. It prioritizes the political culture and legislative policies in defining a region. It emphasizes high culture, such as educational institutions and the arts, in defining a region.
The correct responses are:
- It puts the emphasis on cultural features, such as ethnicity, language, and religion, in defining a region.
- It considers physical geography as well as cultural and economic factors in defining a region.
