What kind of map projection would you use to show the size of various land masses?
Equal-Area projection
What is the Robinson map projection?
The Robinson projection shows the entire world map at once.
What is the polar projection map?
Polar projections are often made in what is called the Azimuthal Equidistant Projection. The projection would be made tangent at the north pole, or at the south pole. These projections allow you to make linear measurements from the pole to any point on earth. These measurements are the shortest distances from the pole to the points and can be directly compared to one another. A polar projection shows the poles; I learned it in my science class.
What kind of map does a polar projection map show?
Polar Area
Map projection is used for sea travel?
A map projection that is used for sea travel includes the gnomonic projection. This was most often used to find the shortest routes between points on a sphere.
How do you use map projection in a sentence?
Map projection is a technique used to represent the three-dimensional surface of the Earth onto a two-dimensional map. This helps to minimize distortion of the Earth's features such as shape, area, distance, and direction when mapping different regions.
What is a Winkle Tribal map projection?
A Winkle Tribal map projection is a modified azimuthal map projection. This is one of three projection.
What map projection nearly all seagoing navigators still use today?
The answer is the Mercator projection
What is the difference between map and map projection?
a map projection is a map that has lots of different angles.
What the difference between a map and a map projection?
a map projection is a map that has lots of different angles.
The projection note for any map sheet identifies the projection system used on the map sheet?
True. The projection note for any map sheet identifies the projection system used on the map sheet.
What is the difference between a map and a projection?
a map projection is a map that has lots of different angles.
What kind of map projection would you use to show the size of various land masses?
Equal-Area projection
What is the best map projection to use?
Robinson Projection because it has minor distortions, the sizes and shapes near the eastern and western edges of the map are accurate, and outlines of the continents appear much as they do on the globe.
What map would a sailor use?
The Mercator projection is the standard for nautical navigation.
What is a importance of map projection?
A projection is a way of keeping the distortion of a flat map
What map displays a flat representation of a round object?
a projection map
