True. The Robinson projection is a compromise map projection that shows the size and shape of most continents relatively accurately, while also increasing the size of oceans to balance out the distortions of the land areas. However, no map projection can perfectly represent the three-dimensional Earth on a two-dimensional surface.
true
Another name for an oval-shaped projection map is called a Robinson Projection Map because it was created by an American cartographer named Arthur Robinson.
The Robinson Projection Map was created in 1963 by Arthur H. Robinson to provide a more visually appealing world map that minimized distortion of shapes and sizes of landmasses. It aimed to balance distortions across the map while maintaining a familiar global layout for better understanding and navigation.
A Robinson map is a type of world map projection that was created in 1963 by Arthur H. Robinson. It aims to balance the distortion of shape, area, scale, and distance in a way that provides a more visually appealing representation of the globe compared to other map projections like the Mercator projection. The Robinson map is commonly used in atlases and textbooks.

However, no map projection can perfectly represent the three-dimensional Earth on a two-dimensional surface.
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.
Robinson projection is a map projection of a world map, which shows the entire world at once.

what similarity about the mercator projection and the robinson projection?
It's the location. 'A projection is a system for mapping the round Earth on a flat surface. The Mercator projection map shows the accurate locations of the continents and oceans. The land and water areas, however, are greatly distorted toward the North and South Poles.'
true
Mercator Projection, Interrupted Projection, Robinson Projection
Robinson created it.
A Robinson map is a form of projection of the world map in which the whole world is illustrated as a single flat image. The poles are shown as straight lines rather than as points. These maps more accurately show the land to water proportions at high latitudes.
