orthographic projection
There are plains, hills, mountains, and plateus.
cylindrical projection
It is a Mercator projection!
You would likely use a conformal map projection, such as the Mercator projection, to study Australia due to its accuracy in representing shapes and angles. It would be beneficial for preserving the shape of the continent and for navigation purposes.
The type of projection is called a cylindrical projection. This process involves wrapping the globe's surface around a cylinder to create a flat map.
A type of projection that usually shows the poles is the polar projection, which focuses on the Earth's polar regions. It is often used to study and analyze features near the North and South Poles.
An orange peel map refers to a type of map projection known as the sinusoidal projection. This type of map projection is designed to minimize distortion of landmasses compared to other projections, but it distorts shapes and distances towards the poles. It resembles the peel of an orange when flattened out.
A globe or an orthographic projection would be best for Douglas to draw the world as it looks from outer space. These projections show the Earth as seen from a distance, similar to how it appears to astronauts in space.
cylindrical
The cylindrical map projection, such as the Mercator projection, shows all latitude and longitude lines as parallel. However, this projection distorts the size of land masses the further they are from the equator.
