My favorite map projection is the gnomic (noh-mik)projection , i like this one because it is pretty simple to understand if you know what your countries look like. The thing that i very much enjoy is the fact that it only show half of the world at a single time. Working with half the world is much easier personally because being able to focus on a single area rather that the whole world. Being able to focus only on either the Nothern or Southern hemisphere help some to focus on a certain point, rather than searching the whole map for a point you could find in one hemisphere. The gnomic projection is a different way in which to show the world because it shows only half of the world.

My favorite thing about Earth Science is:
My imparticulary favorite part about Earth Science is astronomy, because astronomy deals with the study of the stars.I find it interesting how some people believe they can tell your future by looking at the stars and know the day you were born. I also find it interesting how someone can find out which way North is by just looking at a certain star out of over millions of them in the sky. It has been millions since people first started using this way of passage and still we use it when in dire need or just for the sense of knowing.
