What type of projection is a Mercator projectio?
It is a Mercator projection!
How are a mercator projection and an Robinson projection map the same?
what similarity about the mercator projection and the robinson projection?
What is the main feature of the mercator projection?
Mercator projection represents rhumb lines, which are useful for navigation. It makes the areas near the poles appear very large.
What maps projection do nearly all seagoing navigators still use today?
The answer is the Mercator projection
What is less accurate about a Mercator projection?
what is one problem with the mercator projection
What is projection has parallel latitude lines and parallel longitude lines?
A projection with parallel latitude lines and parallel longitude lines is known as a cylindrical projection. This type of projection preserves the shape of features along the equator and distorts them towards the poles. Examples include the Mercator and Miller cylindrical projections.
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 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 type of geographic representation preserves the shape of the features but distorts the are?
A conformal projection preserves the shape of features on a map but distorts their area. Examples of conformal projections include the Mercator projection and the Lambert conformal conic projection.
Would Greenland be smaller on a Mercator or a Robinson map projection?
Greenland appears larger on a Mercator map projection compared to a Robinson map projection. The Mercator projection distorts the size of land masses as they near the poles, resulting in Greenland appearing much larger than it actually is.
