Robinson Projection: useful for displaying information across the oceans. Due to allocating space to the oceans, the land areas are much smaller. 
21. Mercator projection; shape is distorted very little, direction is consistent, and the map is rectangular. Its greatest disadvantage is that area is grossly distorted toward the poles, making high latitude places look much larger than they actually are. 
22. E.G. Ravenstein’s Laws of Migration The majority of migrants travel short distances Migrants who are traveling a long way tend to move to larger cities than smaller cities. Rural residents are more likely to migrate than are urban residents. Every migration stream creates a counterstream. Therefore, net migration is the number of people in the original flow minus the number of people in the opposite flow (or counterstream). Families are less likely to make international moves than young adults. Directory: blogs -> tweed -> files -> 2011 blogs -> Critical Kent: The Topographies Project: Beaches (2015).
