The answer is the Mercator projection
What is less accurate about a Mercator projection?
what is one problem with the mercator projection
What type of projection is a Mercator?
cylindrical projection
What is the difference between mercator and Robinson projection?
the mercator projection lines are straight but the robinsons are curved
What is a disavantige of a Mercator projection?
One disadvantage of the Mercator projection is that it distorts the size of land masses towards the poles, making countries near the equator appear smaller than they actually are. This can lead to misrepresentations of true land sizes and distances on the map.
What came first Mercator projection or the Robinson projection?
Robinson projection
What are the three types of projection maps are?
Mercator Projection, Interrupted Projection, Robinson Projection
What are the disadvantage of a mercator projection?
there is distortion at the north and south poles. The land sizes of the continents closest to the equator are smaller than they really are. But Mercator maps are very useful for sailors or pilots for finding direction.
What type of map projection is used by ship navigation?
Mercator
What is the advantage of Mercator projection?
The ability of the Mercator projection to allow straight and constant course lines. Or longitude and latitude lines.
