Draggable item		Corresponding Item
absolute location		Location of something in relation to something else
distortion		A scientific method of transferring locations on Earth’s curved surface to a flat map
relative location		All maps are incorrect in one of four ways because they attempt to flatten the globe
map projection		Exact location on Earth

What type of thematic map is it? Drag the labels to the images. (thre may be repeats)

choropleth
flow map
isoline
cartogram
dot distribution
graduated symbol

environmental determinism

sustainability

an ecosystem

Add annotations (explanations, comments, arrows, images) to the diagram to explain how sustainability requires balancing people, planet, and prosperity.
