Landmasses near the poles are distorted on this type of map?
cylindrical projection
What map have projection has fairly accurate shapes in the center but increasing distorting toward the edges?
All two dimensional (flat) maps (called projections) of the surface of the Earth have distortion. Several projections are used to create such maps and each is better for some uses and not others. There is no most distorted projection. It depends on the intended use for the map.
What is the map projection with the least amount of distortion near the pole?
A Globe. It can be an exact scale model of the earth!
What are the disadvantages and advantages of azimuthal projection?
This map projection has the advantage of showing the correct distances between places when taken from the centre point of the projection, however it has the disadvantage that the distances from all other points are incorrect, and areas and shapes get distorted more that one moves away from the centre of the projection.
What is the advantage of a gnomonic projection?
a gnomonic map makes countries look longer, distorted, and hard to understand
What is the distorted in a homolosine projection?
Two points a region
Landmasses near the poles are distorted on this type of map?
cylindrical projection
A mercator projection is distorted near the?
north and south poles
Where are land masses distorted on a gnomonic projection?
near the poles

What two things can be distorted on a projection map?
Reference maps and Thematic maps are the broad categories of maps

Which would be more helpful for studying the exact shapes of continents a globe or a map?
A globe because the projection on a map is always distorted.

Does a Mercator projection show the size shape or the location of the continents more accurately on a map?
None of them. However, the location is distorted the least.
