What are different types of map projections?
Mercator Projection : longitude and latitude as straight, parallel lines Conic Projection : a circular map made from a flattened cone, centered on a pole or other point Gall-Peters Projection : relocates standard parallels, narrows longitudinal spacing Robinson Projection : approximates a true spherical view of the Earth, except the poles Winkel Tripel Projection : an azimuth approximation of the world view, similar to Robinson The most widely used is the Mercator projection, the major disadvantage being its area expansions (areas closer to the poles appear larger and lack their true shapes). The Gall-Peters Projection provides a closer approximation of the relative areas. All flat representations of a spherical surface will create variances in "true" size or shape. (see image links)
What is the difference between beaker and an Erlenmeyer flask?
When is conical graduate used?
Actually, a conical graduate is more commonly used for pharmaceutical applications. They might be used to measure distilled water or ethanol for reconstituting a powdered medication. They are a little less accurate than a standard cylindrical graduate, but they make it easier to obtain a fast measurement and allow for easy pouring.
What are erlenmeyer flasks and florence flasks used for?
See the two Related Questions to the left for a description of each one. They are different in both shape and function.Florence flasks have round bottoms and no gradations indicating volume. Erlenmeyer flasks are conical in shape and have gradations depicting volume on the side.
What is a conical projection map?
a paper cone is placed on a globe like a hat, tangent to it at some parallel, and a point source of light at the center of the globe projects the surface features onto the cone.

What is a comical flask?

Is the Euphonium conical or cylindrical?
A cylindrical brass instrument is like the trumpet. It's not literally cylinder-shaped, but the pipe width stays constant for a while before flaring out as the bell. Its shape is the reason for its brassier sound. A conical instrument is more like the French horn. Again, it's not really a cone, but its pipes are constantly growing wider throughout the instrument. That's why it sounds so full and rich.
What is Lambert projections?
It is a conical projection of the earth used for aeronautical charts
What are the three main types of map projection?
Three types of projection include planar (the globe is projected onto a flat sheet, with only one point of the globe touching the surface), cylindrical (the globe is projected onto a cylinder with the all points along a great circle touching the surface), or conical (the globe is projected onto a cone with two lines of parallel touching the reference surface).
Is a tuba cylindrical or conical?
it is a mixture of both because its shape is rounded and twirled up.

The definition of conical flask?
A type of laboratory flask which features a flat bottom, a conical body, and a cylindrical neck. It is named after the German chemist Emil Erlenmeyer (1825-1909), who created it in 1860.
