 * The Truth about Maps. **

Do you think you're good at geography? Do you notice something on the map you normally use isn't right? Are you concerned about the WORLD map if something isn't correct?
// Apparently, there's a solution. The Mercator Projection Map is the map you would not use if you're looking around the world. The map is inaccurate, for instance take Geenland and Africa. They both roughly look like the same amount of land but .......... IN FACT........... Africa is 11.6km squared when Greenland is 0.8 km squared!!!! So Dr. Arno Peters created a new world map that shows the countries and continents in their exact position and size. In the Mercator Map, most of the Northern Atmosphere's countries appear larger than it's original size. //

Some of Mercator Projection Map Errors: Greenland is larger than it's own original, exact size. Canada is larger than America when in fact they're about the same size. Africa is about the same size as America and Canada together.
