It is a projection which distorts the size of the Oceans so they are much larger than the continents
The stripes show that Earth is warming
The stripes are laid on top of the map to show how much rainfall there is
The maps show that Earth is cooling
The maps can identify isolated heatwaves and put them into context
Because all maps need geographers to interpret and use them effectively
Because geographers teach the best subject
