What is a disavantige of a Mercator projection?
One of the big disadvantages of a Mercator projection is that it cannot accurately project the areas around the north and south pole. A Mercator projection is not equally accurate in all directions, even away from the poles.
What is the name of the two far end poles of magnet?
North pole, and south pole.North pole, and south pole.North pole, and south pole.North pole, and south pole.
How does the latitude lines appear on a polar projection?
A polar projection is a map viewing either the North Pole or the South Pole from above. Each latitude line forms a circle that is centered at the pole. The latitude lines closest to the pole are the smallest, and the ones farther away are the largest.
When you stand facing south you are looking towards the?
south pole
Is Antarctic north pole or south pole?
The South Pole is an imaginary spot on the continent of Antarctica. You are getting confused by the over use of the terms North and South Poles as regions, when we should be using Arctic for the North, and Antarctic for the South.
Where is the equator in a polar projection?
A polar projection of the earth shows a pole (north or south, depending on the projection) at the center of a circular map. The equator is the circumference of the circle.
What is a flat plane projection?
A map projection designed on a flat plane touching the globe at one point such as the north or South Pole.
What is a flat-plane projection?
A map projection designed on a flat plane touching the globe at one point such as the north or South Pole.
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 are the lines that go through the north pole and south pole?
No geographic mapping lines go "through" the poles. The meridians of longitude are semi-circles that join the poles, so the ends of the meridians are at the poles.

The negative pole in a flashlight battery?
the negative pole of cylindrical batteries is the smooth end.
What is a polar-projection map?
A map centred on a Pole.
What causes map distortions?
Absense inaccuracies in carteography, the maps need to be projected onto a 2D surface for human use.As the area of the mapping grows the surface of the planet comes into play. We llive on a sphere and mapping a sphere to a flat plane creates distortions.EXAMPLE:two lines with 1 degree angle between them. that start at the north pole and travel to the south pole will get farther and farther apart until reaching the equator and then will get closer and closer together again as they approach the south pole.

what poles are unlike a magnet?
North pole and South pole
