What is a Round or circular shaped map projection?
Azimuthal
What is the most used projection map?
Discounting the Mercator, which cartographers tend to HATE but is ubiquitous anyway... Probably the Lambert Conformal Conic projection, or the Lambert Azimuthal Equal-Area projection (used by the US National Atlas).
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.
Which map projection does Cuba use?
The map projection that Cuba uses is equirectangular projection. It shows the equidistant or constant spacing map representation of the country.
Which type of map projection is best for displaying a compact area such as Australia?
Mercator's is the best for Australia
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 is a Round or circular shaped map projection?
Azimuthal
What advantage does an azimuthal map projection have over a cylindrical map projection?
actually, we don't have any idea about this because our teacher, florentino morales jr didn't taught us what is this stuff!
Is a polar projection an example of a azimuthal projection?
yes
What type of map would give you the best estimate of distance between Atlanta GA and Knoxville TN?
-- A road map with the distance marked between every pair of junctions. -- An azimuthal equidistant projection centered on either of those cities.

On what map projection do both meridians and parallels appear as straight lines intersecting each other at right angles?
Cylindrical
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 type of map projection would allow you to draw a map of the world from outer space?
orthographic projection
Landmasses near the poles are distorted on this type of map?
cylindrical projection
What type of map displays a representation of a a round object?
a projection map
What type of map projection shows shapes and sizes great?
A topographic map.
