What map projection is an elliptical equal-area projection that distorts shapes near the edges?
Mollweide Projection is an elliptical equal-area projection, designed in 1805 by German mathematician Carl B Mollweide, represents the size of landforms quite accurately, but distorts shapes near the edges.
What kind of map is a rectangular representation of Earth that shows accurate directions but distorts sizes and distances?
A rectangular representation of Earth that shows accurate directions but distorts sizes and distances is called a Mercator projection map. This distortion occurs because it preserves angles and lines of constant direction, commonly used for navigation over large bodies of water.
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.
Is the distance on the Robinson projection distorted?
Yes, the Robinson projection distorts distance, shape, and size. It is a compromise projection that aims to balance distortions across the globe, making it useful for general-purpose world maps. However, it is not appropriate for accurate measurements or navigation.
