Projections Part 1


This week in our lab, we were introduced to exploring projection systems. The three projections used in this lab were the following: Albers, UTM 16, and State Plane. By showcasing the three types of projections, we were able to notice a slight difference between the three. You have to compare closely to notice the difference. I calculated the area for the geometry and converted that information into a chart to display the actual difference.By looking at the chart, you can notice how the attributes are affected. This lab was a good way to learn how projections can alter a maps data.
