STUDYING THE WORLD
USING MAPS
The Mercator Projection Map
Some 400 years ago, a Flemish cartographer or map
maker, popularly known as “Mercator," created a
map that sailors find their way in the open seas of the
world. Mercator drew this map from the point of view
of European navigators.

world, but European countries and cultures are
from only one part of the world. There are many
different countries and cultures in the world, each
deserving respect.

Northern Hemisphere as a part of the world do
not appear bigger than the countries in the
Southern Hemisphere.
