19. New concept: Forward capital: Forward capital: a symbolically relocated capital city usually because of either economic or strategic reasons; sometimes used to integrate outlying parts of a country into the state (e.g., from Rio de Janeiro to Brasília, New York to Washington D.C.). 20. 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.
