How do Mercator Robinson and Conic projections differ?
Mercator and conic projections are different because conic projections have a cone/triangle shape and they are the same because both are type of maps..... I know really bad answer but I hope this helped
What is the most common map projection used?
The most common map projections are based on three main geometric shapes: 1) Sphere to a Plane 2) Cylindrical Projections, 3) Conic Projections.
Are there 3 main types of map projection?
Map makers are called cartographers. There are 3 generally accepted types of map projections. These are cylindrical projections, conic projects and planar projections.
What type of map is produced by fitting together a series of map projections?
These maps are called conic maps.
What is conic projection used for?
Radio Mapping.
What are maps made by combinging several conic projections called?
Polyconic

Why isn't a conic projection used to navigate a ship or aircraft?
Because conic projections are suited to mapping small areas
What are the three most important map projections?
they are cylindrical, azimuthal, and conic.
How do Mercator and Robinson projections differ?
yes ,Mercator Robinson and conic projections differ because Mercator Robinson is not true it`s Mercator projection . Mercator projections are the grid is rectangular and lines of latitude and longitude are all parallel. conic projections are a map projections of the globe onto a cone with its points over one of the earth`s poles
What are facts about conic projection maps?
1)They are made by wrapping a cone of paper around a globe .2)A map containing several conic projections are called a Polyconic.3)When you wrap the paper around the globe to make conic projection it has to be at a certain line of lattitude .

What are two other projections used by geographers and mapmakers?
Three projection methods used by geographers and map makers are: cylindrical conic planar.
What is a conic projections?
a paper cone is placed on a globe like a hat, tangent to it at some parallel, and a point source of light at the center of the globe projects the surface features onto the cone.
What type of map projection portrays accurate sizes but distorts the shapes of land masses?
A map projection is a flat representation of the Earth's global surface. There are for different types of projections-- those that focus on distance, those that focus on direction, those that focus on area, and those that focus on shape. Conformal map projections are the type that show the correct size of continents but distort area size.
