Figure 1.12 [PROD: Insert Figure 1.12 from the textbook.] Use the accompanying figure to answer the following questions. From knowing that countries have relatively similar population sizes, such as the United States and Indonesia on the figure, can you predict whether they will have similar environmental impacts? Why or why not?
What will be an ideal response?
No, because some countries have higher per capita resource use than others.

Where is the projection surface tangent to (touching) the globe? (See end flap of this lab manual.)
Figure 4.5a shows Earth on a planar projection, in which the globe is projected onto a plane. This is a gnomonic projection and is generated by projecting a light source at the center of a globe onto a plane that is tangent to (touching) the globe’s surface. The resulting increasingly severe distortion as distance increases from the standard point prevents showing a full hemisphere on one projection.
