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.
What is the advantage of a gnomonic projection?
a gnomonic map makes countries look longer, distorted, and hard to understand
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 type of map is best suited for maritime navigation A Mercator projector B Conic projector C Geologic D Topographic?
its between Topographic and mercator projection
What were the two early means of showing the earths surface?
The Mercator Projection, developed by Flemish geographer Gerardus Mercator, was widely used as the standard two-dimensional projection of the earth for world maps until the late 20th century, when more accurate projections were formulated. Mercator was also the first to use and popularize the concept of the atlas as a collection of maps.

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 type of map shows weather conditions?
flow map for routes....isopleth,climograph,ergograph for weather...
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 are the disadvantages of conic projection?
Cut off at the top. cannot see north or south poles.
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.
We have to use the word conic projection in a sentence.?
Conic means pretaining to or ressembling a cone
What are the Types of conic sections?
The types of conic sections are circles, parabolas, hyperbolas, and ellipses.
