What are the disadvantages and advantages of azimuthal projection?
This map projection has the advantage of showing the correct distances between places when taken from the centre point of the projection, however it has the disadvantage that the distances from all other points are incorrect, and areas and shapes get distorted more that one moves away from the centre of the projection.
What is a disavantige of a Mercator projection?
One of the big disadvantages of a Mercator projection is that it cannot accurately project the areas around the north and south pole. A Mercator projection is not equally accurate in all directions, even away from the poles.
What kind of map projects the poles?
The areas furthest from the center point have a great deal of distortion.
What map have projection has fairly accurate shapes in the center but increasing distorting toward the edges?
All two dimensional (flat) maps (called projections) of the surface of the Earth have distortion. Several projections are used to create such maps and each is better for some uses and not others. There is no most distorted projection. It depends on the intended use for the map.
What does map projection mean in geography terms?
the map projection was high intolleranse to my speech
Can you give a sentence using the word mapped?
i mapped the areas to go on a vacation
What do cartographers do with coordinate planes?
They project the surface of a sphere (the Earth) using a projection. Often the latitudes and longitudes are mapped onto the coordinate plane for small area but such projections distort shapes when mapping larger areas.
Why does a mercator projection exaggerate the areas of landmasses near the poles?
The Mercator projection exaggerates areas far from the equator because it is not suited to general reference world maps due to its distortion of land area. The Mercator projection is still commonly used for areas near the equator.
What is a disadvantage of the Mercator projection?
it distorts areas near the poles.
Winkle triple projection?
The Winkle Triple projection provides a good balance between the size and shape of land areas on the map.
Areas where projection touchs more than one point?
secant
What is the main features of the Mercator projection?
Mercator projection represents rhumb lines, which are useful for navigation. It makes the areas near the poles appear very large.

One that carries impulses between the periphery and CNS areas is called?
projection tract

Which white matter tracts connect the cerebrum to the lower brain areas?
projection fibers
