Mercator projection represents rhumb lines, which are useful for navigation. It makes the areas near the poles appear very large.
It is a Mercator projection!
what similarity about the mercator projection and the robinson projection?
Mercator projection represents rhumb lines, which are useful for navigation. It makes the areas near the poles appear very large.
The answer is the Mercator projection
what is one problem with the mercator projection
cylindrical projection
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.
the mercator projection lines are straight but the robinsons are curved
Robinson projection
Mercator Projection, Interrupted Projection, Robinson Projection
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.
