elevation: height of a region in relation to sea levell
relief: includes all the land forms of a region; terrain
topography: shows the elevation
ocean basins: extend from continents to the ocean floor and into deep trenches
conic map: a cone shaped projection that is very accurate near the poles
coordinate system: a grid system that allows you to find your location on any map
latitude: horizontal lines on the coordinate system
longitude: vertical lines on the coordinate system
map: a picture of specific parts of Earth's surface
Mercator projection: created by Gerardus Mercator; a cylinder is put on a globe and the images are projected onto it
projection: a way to represent the Earth's curved surface on paper
equator: an imaginary line running horizontally along the middle of the Earth
