What map shows accurate size and shape?
The "Peter Projection" (also called the Gall-Peters projection) has accurate relative areas but distorted shapes. It is is one specialization of a configurable equal-area map projection known as the equal-area cylindric.These projections preserve area:Gall orthographic (also known as Gall-Peters, or Peters, projection)Albers conicLambert azimuthal equal-areaLambert cylindrical equal-areaMollweideHammerBriesemeisterSinusoidalWernerBonneBottomleyGoode's homolosineHobo-DyerCollignonTobler hyperelliptical
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a Mercator projection and of an equal area projection?
money
Does equal area projection has distortion?
yes
What is an Eckert IV projection?
It is an equal area projection. that has less shape distortion near the equator and the poles compared to other equal area projections.
What is the advantage of an equal area projection?
do be so ambiguous.
What is the advantage of an equal-area projection?
do be so ambiguous.
In mapping what is the difference between mercator projection and an equal area projection?
Mercator projection distorts the size of land masses, resulting in high distortion near the poles. Equal area projections maintain accurate land area proportions, making them useful for representing data like population density.
What is the distorted in a homolosine projection?
Two points a region
What elements might be distorted by a projection?
the element of color
Landmasses near the poles are distorted on this type of map?
cylindrical projection
What kind of map projection would you use to show the size of various land masses?
Equal-Area projection
What map projection is an elliptical equal-area projection that distorts shapes near the edges?
Mollweide Projection is an elliptical equal-area projection, designed in 1805 by German mathematician Carl B Mollweide, represents the size of landforms quite accurately, but distorts shapes near the edges.
