Translator Post

This week I’m going to be the translator. That means that I have to choose 5 concepts about this week’s topic. This week is about Treasure Hunt, but we also talk about cartographic projections, media and its distortion. Here there are the five terms I have chosen:

• Map projection: is a representation of the globe sphere on a flat map, using a grid of lines of latitude and longitude.
• Cartography:  is the discipline dealing with the conception, production, dissemination and study of maps in all forms.
• Media: is the collective communication tool that is used to store and deliver. It is either associated with communication media or communication businesses such as: print media and the press, photography, advertising, etc.
• Distortion: is the alteration of the original form of a signal representing an image, a sound, a waveform, or other information.
• Treasure Hunt: is a non-complex activity in which the participants have to answer some short questions with given information, and then one big question without the information.
