What type of projection conical or cylindrical would show least distortion of central Africa?
Cylindrical , providing the cylinder axis is co-linear with the N/S polar axial line through the centre of the Earth.
Does the Robinson projection show the size if the continents accurately but the water areas are expanded to fill the extra space?
most, if not all, of the map projections that are created have some sort of distortion. ( because the map projections were made to resemble Earth on paper. ) So even if it seems like there is no distortion, or at least any easy to find distortion, there is distortion and warping of continents although they can be very close to somewhat accurate. ( Globes have been proven to be the best resource to look at continents, countries, physical features, etc. ) Also, we must realize that maps are scaled down versions of Earth so you can't fit Australia in the palm of your hand. But I personally would say that the Robinson projeciton map is a good projection.
How do you calculate readings of sextant?
first find out least count of main circular scale in degrees,then divide least count of main scale by total divisions on cylindrical scale(this cylindrical scale works as vernier scale for fist one,its least count will be in minutes) then further divide least count of cylindrical scale by total divisions of small vernier scale which touches it,(this small scale works as vernier scale for cylindrical scale and its least count will be in seconds).
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!
In geography what does the word distortion mean?
It means that if you take earth and make it flat, there are some parts that are not shown or ripped, which makes the people draw a distortion of what it should look like. The north and south pole are the most parts that are ripped, which make most of that part of the map distorted, while the equator has the least distortion.
