How are conic projections made?
conic projections are made by projecting points and lines from a globe onto a cone
How is a cylindrical projection made?
i think its near the equator probably. +++ NO: towards the Poles. Think about it - the cylinder is normally vertical and tangential to the globe around the Equator so the most accurate projection will be around the equator.
What is the term for a map that is made by wrapping a piece of paper around a globe?
CylindricalWrap a piece of paper around the earth toform a cylinder that touches the equater allthe way around the earth. Shine a light fromthe center of the earth, trace the image that isprojected onto the paper, and then take thepaper off for a cylindrical projection.............. i don't know if that's what your looking for?good luck!....sorry

Maps can be made by projecting Earth's spherical grid onto a?
That would depend on the type of map. A Mercator projection projects the Earth onto a cylinder, causing distortions at the poles. A "conic" projection projects the Earth onto a cone. And there are special purpose maps that project the Earth onto a plane.

A map projection drawn in such a way that an area on the map is proportional to the area on the globe is called an equal-area projection map.

What are facts about conic projection maps?
1)They are made by wrapping a cone of paper around a globe .2)A map containing several conic projections are called a Polyconic.3)When you wrap the paper around the globe to make conic projection it has to be at a certain line of lattitude .
