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 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.
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
Which map is an equal area projection where latitudes are represented by parallel lines but longitudes are represented by ellipses?
Atlas maps.
What is the advantage of an equal-area projection?
do be so ambiguous.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a Mercator projection and of an equal area projection?
money
In mapping what is the difference between mercator projection and an equal area projection?
the difference between mercator projection and equal projection is 250km apart from each other
Does equal area projection has distortion?
yes
What is an Eckert IV 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.
Why do many geographs prefer the Robinson projection?
it is an equal-area map
What projection map shows size of various land masses?
The equal-area projection shows size of various land masses.
What is the name of a map of the globe which is made by so that the scale is the same in any direction at any point?
A map projection drawn in such a way that an area on the map is proportional to the area on the globe is called an equal-area projection map.

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).
