Why should you classify data on a chloropleth map?

So data values are obvious

So the class ranged are easy to identify

So the data is structures

None of the above

The enumeration units associated with chloropleth maps are often not related to the data because

They are collected at different time

The units are related to how we collect data, not how the data is distributed

The units are always logically structured, whereas data is not

None of the above

A value that is important to not have in a data class but between data classes is refereed to as

Inter-class value

Critical value

Classless value

None of the above

Which of the following types of data would be appropriate for chlororpleth maps?

Earth surface relief

% population with AIDS to total population

Land use

None of the above

One problem with chloropleth map is

It hides the specific data values from the user

It only uses a single color to show the data classes

It is often complicated and time consuming to create

It can not show data over large areas

All of the above

Which of the following is incorrect for a conformal projection

Scale change must be the same in all directions at a given point

Lines of latitude and longitude must cross at 90

A unit area on the map must represent the same unit area on the globe and be the sae anywhere on the map

If a map projection has a scale change in all directions at any give point it is most likely which property?

Equal area

Equidistance

Conformality

Correct direction

What is the different between orthodrome and loxodrome

An orthodrome is a compass heading and a loxodrome is a great circle

A loxodrome is a compass heading and a orthodrome is a great circle

An orthodrome is a conformal and loxodrome is equal area

None of the above
