TREASURE HUNT: TRANSLATOR' POV

Hello dears followers of meerkats, I am Javi, and this week I’m the translator of the group, my principal role in the group this week is to talk about five different words that have relation wih the treasure hunt . of course, we can’t made the poster with out the help of the:

Maps: A map is a symbolic depiction between elements of some space, such as objects, regions, and themes.

Many maps are static two-dimensional, geometrically accurate (or approximately accurate) representations of three-dimensional space, while others are dynamic or interactive, even three-dimensional. A good example of mix between maps and media are programs like “GoogleMaps”, or “GoogleEarth”.

Scavenger Hunt: A scavenger hunt is a game that consist on different tasks that people should pass in order to get a new clue and go to the next task, the people or the group that pass all the tasks first will win.

Extension of a Country: Is the surface on km² of a country that allow us to ensure how big is a country and we can compare this country with others, in my opinion this is the best option for seeing the countries with his real size, and no with some changes that usually happen with maps.

Distortion: A distortion is when you try to put the earth on a surface, and of course, try to establish to represent a sphere in a plane with two-dimensions, the main problem is that this surface will be a failed representation of the real size of the content included on it

Projection: projection is a way of representation of maps, there are lots of them, because is impossible to set in a two-dimension object something with three-dimension object like the earth, for this reason there are more than one proyection, because the first ones had some problems, we are talking about “Robinson” and “Mercator” projections, the Azimuthal projection is older and more realistic that the others.
