What type of projection is a Mercator?
cylindrical projection
What type of map projection is used by ship navigation?
Mercator
The Mercator projection made life easier for early navigators because they could plot their compass bearings as straight lines What type of projection is a Mercator projection?
cylindrical
How are a mercator projection and an Robinson projection map the same?
what similarity about the mercator projection and the robinson projection?
On what type of map does distortion increase with distance from the poles?
The Mercator Projection distorts the size of large objects from the Equator to the poles. It was named for Flemish map make Gerardus Mercator.
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
Which type of map projection shows all latitude and longitude lines as parell?
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.
What type of map is a Mercator map?
Mercator is not a map, but a map projection, i.e. a way of representing the continents on a map. The Mercator projection is only accurate between 30 degrees north and south latitude. The further away you go from that point, the greater the exaggeration.
What is the difference between mercator and Robinson projection?
the mercator projection lines are straight but the robinsons are curved
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 came first Mercator projection or the Robinson projection?
Robinson projection
