Document Summary

For unit 2 and 3, do 13th edition readings. Earth movement rotation on axis and orbit around the sun. Explained seasons movement of subsolar point north and s of the equator. Aerial photography - photographs of the ground from an elevated position. Small scale 1 : 1 000 000 (shows ontario) Smaller scale maps have more info, larger have generalizations. Ea map projection has limitations, on used for well suited design. All have distortions, area, shape, scale, distance, direction. Can"t be conformal and equivalent at same time. Planar projections onto a plane (higher distortion farther from contact point) Conic projections on a cone (away from cones touching has reduced accuracy) Great circle route shortest distance between two places on earth"s surface. Longest straight line sailing distance 32 000 km. Thematic, statistical, cartogram, dot map, choropleth, isoline, mental. Various symbols to record phenomena location, qualitative or quantitative. Data distribution, interest on where thing found, not amount.

Im trying to solve this question, and i dont know whether touse simple math or try to use calculus.

Three digital clocks A, B, and C run at different rates and do nothave simultaneous readings of zero. The Figure shows simultaneousreadings on pairs of the clocks for four occasions. (At theearliest occasion, for example, B reads 25.0 s and C reads 92.0 s.)If two events are 500 s apart on clock A, how far apart are they on(a) clock B and (b) clock C? (c) When clock A reads 410 s, whatdoes clock B read? (d) When clock C reads 9 s, what does clock Bread? (Assume negative readings for prezero times.)
-----------------312-----------------------512---A
-25-------------125----------200---- ----290---B
-92---------------------------142----------------C

So i figured out A and B using simple math ratio's.

A = 412.5
B = 117.86

C= 203

D = I dont know something negative around 240s helpplz.

A- (200/165) x (500/?). I know that 200/165 is where the clocks aresync and i can just multiply crossmultiply etc, and i get606.
