A map that shows a wedge shaped portion of the earth is called?
conic projection
What is a system for mapping the round earth on a flat surface called?
Its called a projection map
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.
What is the definition of map projection?
A map projection simply is a representation of the round, 3D surface of the earth onto a flat, 2D map. There are different map projections such as Mercator and Robinson each of which have advantages and disadvantages.The appropriate projection for a map depends on the scale of the map and the purposes for which it will be used. For example, a Mercator projection has straight rhumb lines and is therefore excellent for navigation, because compass courses are easy to determine, but there is distortion near the poles.
What is an oval - shaped projection map?
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.

What is planar projection map good for?
A planar projection map is a map projected onto a plane (flat surface). The details of the globe are a rectangular shaped map that is on a flat surface.
What shape is a map made by cylindrical projection?
A map made by cylindrical projection appears rectangular in shape. This is because the Earth's surface is projected onto a cylinder positioned over the globe, resulting in distortion towards the poles.
What system for mapping the round earth on a flat surface called?
A map projection is a way to represent the curved surface of the Earth on the flat surface of a map.
