Generation of Folded Terrains from Simple Vector Maps
... This work addresses the case when user design goals can be expressed through a simple vector map, similar, for instance, to the famous Middle-Earth map in Lords of the Rings. This raises an interesting question: Is it possible to generate plausible terrains from the simple vector data on such maps, ...

... How does thermal energy move around in the Earth? Movement of the Earth’s tectonic plates is driven by heat flow in the Earth’s interior. Plumes of mantle rock rise slowly from the bottom of the mantle to the top and create convective currents. In this activity you will locate areas where heat escap ...

Map projection
Commonly, a map projection is a systematic transformation of the latitudes and longitudes of locations on the surface of a sphere or an ellipsoid into locations on a plane. Map projections are necessary for creating maps. All map projections distort the surface in some fashion. Depending on the purpose of the map, some distortions are acceptable and others are not; therefore, different map projections exist in order to preserve some properties of the sphere-like body at the expense of other properties. There is no limit to the number of possible map projections.More generally, the surfaces of planetary bodies can be mapped even if they are too irregular to be modeled well with a sphere or ellipsoid; see below. Even more generally, projections are the subject of several pure mathematical fields, including differential geometry and projective geometry. However, ""map projection"" refers specifically to a cartographic projection.
