Map makers are called cartographers. There are 3 generally accepted types of map projections. These are cylindrical projections, conic projects and planar projections.
The four parts of Map Projections are Mercator, Polar, Interrupted, and Robinson.
There are several types of map projections: cylindrical, conic, plane, and interrupted projection.

The most common map projections are based on three main geometric shapes: 1) Sphere to a Plane 2) Cylindrical Projections, 3) Conic Projections.
Mercator Projection : longitude and latitude as straight, parallel lines Conic Projection : a circular map made from a flattened cone, centered on a pole or other point Gall-Peters Projection : relocates standard parallels, narrows longitudinal spacing Robinson Projection : approximates a true spherical view of the Earth, except the poles Winkel Tripel Projection : an azimuth approximation of the world view, similar to Robinson The most widely used is the Mercator projection, the major disadvantage being its area expansions (areas closer to the poles appear larger and lack their true shapes). The Gall-Peters Projection provides a closer approximation of the relative areas. All flat representations of a spherical surface will create variances in "true" size or shape. (see image links)

The 3 main types of weathering are: mechanical, chemical, and biological weathering.
The history of cartography in the order which occurred are: 1: Ibn idrsi's world map 2: The travel of Marco Polo 3: The Mercator projection 4: The Robinson projection
The events from the historical of cartography are: 1. Columbus reaches the Western Hemisphere 2. Ptolemy's world map 3. Piri Reis map 4. Mercator projection

The 3 main types of glacial erosion are plucking, abrasion and freeze thaw.
The 3 main types of clouds are Cirrus, Cumulus, and Stratus.
