Cartography + Globe – Geography Presentation

This presentation (54 slides) focuses on the art and science of cartography (the creation of maps) and the use of globes in geography. It explains the history of mapmaking, from ancient civilizations to modern digital mapping techniques, and the importance of maps in navigation, spatial understanding, and geographic education. The presentation covers various types of maps, such as political, physical, thematic, and topographic maps, and how each serves different purposes. It also explores the advantages of using a globe over a flat map, such as its accurate representation of Earth’s curvature and scale. Through visual examples, the presentation demonstrates how cartographic tools and globes help us visualize the Earth’s surface and gain insights into global patterns, distances, and geographic relationships.
