near the poles
A mercator projection is distorted near the?
north and south poles
Where are landmasses distorted on a gnomic project?
Gnomic Projections distort near poles.
What does a projection map show?
A map of a location near or in the poles.
What does projection map show?

What is the map projection with the least amount of distortion near the pole?
A Globe. It can be an exact scale model of the earth!
What does a polar projection show?
A map of a location near or in the poles.
What type of projection has parallel lines of longitude which disappear near the poles?
Mercator is the type of projection which has parallel lines of longitude which disappear near the poles. The project in question also presents parallel lines of latitude even though the overall clarity gets distorted around both the North and South Poles.
Which type of maps is most distorted at the poles?
The Mercator projection World Map is the chart which is most distorted in the polar regions. Originally developed in the mid sixteenth century it was the most popular map for marine navigators for over 400 years. It is still useful for navigation at sea but has been supplanted by newer projections, especially after the advent of aviation navigation.
How is the mercator map distorted?
The Mercator map distorts the size of landmasses as you move toward the poles, making countries near the equator look smaller and those near the poles look larger than they really are. This distortion is a result of trying to represent the spherical Earth on a flat surface, leading to an exaggeration of areas further from the equator.
What are the 4 ways in which maps can be distorted?
A map can be distorted by shapes, sizes, lines of latitude and longitude and politics,
