The World is Round
But we want a map on a flat sheet of paper
Mercator
To flatten the World
we could stretch it…
and stretch it…..
and stretch it…..
But watch
AFRICA
What has happene
d?
The shapes of the countries are messed
up
For instance
Britain
and India
Seem to be the same size
but India is actually 13 x the
size of Britain
So let’s try another way of flattening the
World
Take an Orange
Mark it like this
Cut along the lines
Cut one side open
Eat the fruit
Flatten out the peel
Here is an orange peel map of the
World
Let’s try another way
Collapse the world
onto an icosahedron
Buckymap
