Abantwana kwizikolo zikarhulumente zaseBoston baziswa ngemephu yehlabathi entsha kwiveki ephelileyo, benikezela ngokuthelekisa imephu yemveli yokuqikelela yeMercator exhaphake kakhulu kumagumbi okufundela.

Izikolo zikarhulumente zaseBoston bezikhupha iimephu zokuqikelela zeGall-Peters kwiiklasi zezifundo zentlalo, njengoko ibonakalisa ngokuchanekileyo ubungakanani behlabathi, uDan O & apos; UBrien, unobhala weendaba zeBoston Public Schools, uxelele Ukuhamba + Ukuzonwabisa.

Imephu yakwaMercator, eyenziwe nguGerardus Mercator phaya ngo-1569, iye yaqatshelwa ngobukhulu bayo obugqithisileyo kumazwekazi kumantla e-hemisphere, kubandakanya iNyakatho Melika kunye ne-Europe ezikhulu kunoMzantsi Afrika kunye noMzantsi Melika olingana nobukhulu obufanayo neYurophu, njenge UMgcini yalatha.

Eli nyathelo lenzelwe ukunceda 'ukucazulula' inkqubo yangoku ngokukhangela iindawo ezinekharityhulam ezinokubakho ngokungakhethiyo kunye nokufumana iindlela zokwenza ngcono umxholo ojongana noluhlu lwabafundi abohlukeneyo.

Uqikelelo lukaPeter ludale impikiswano enkulu kule minyaka idlulileyo kuba iyazigqwetha iimilo, kodwa ibaluleke kakhulu ngokubonakalayo ngokwesikali kunye nendawo yomhlaba, ebonisa ubungakanani obuchanekileyo kunye nenqanaba lamazwekazi, uBob Abramms, umseki womshicileli wemephu ODT, uxelelwe UMgcini .

Izikolo ziya kubeka iimephu zokuqikelela zePeters ecaleni kwemephu zikaMercator zokuthelekisa kwigumbi lokufundela lesibini, lesixhenxe, neleshumi elinanye.

U-O'Brien uxelele u-T + L ukuba, 'sinezicelo ezininzi zokuba zange babazi ubungakanani bamazwe apho ezinye izinyanya zazivela khona.

Ukwenza imephu yinkqubo entsonkothileyo neenkcukacha, kodwa ngale ndlela sinokunika abafundi bethu ukujonga indlela abaziqhelileyo ukubona ngokuchasene nembono eyahlukileyo, utshilo.
