What projection shows all lines of latitude and longitude as straight lines?
The Mercator projection does that.
Why are lines of latitude and lines of longitude perpendicular?
a) planar projection B) cylindrical projection
What map has parallel lines of latitude and longitude?
Most maps will show latitude and longitude lines, if not, they're ALWAYS on a globe.
What is projection has parallel latitude lines and parallel longitude lines?
'po';op'[ 'po';/l.;;
How does the latitude lines appear on a polar projection?
A polar projection is a map viewing either the North Pole or the South Pole from above. Each latitude line forms a circle that is centered at the pole. The latitude lines closest to the pole are the smallest, and the ones farther away are the largest.
What projection shows all lines of latitude and longitude as straight lines?
The Mercator projection does that.
What is the advantage of Mercator projection?
The ability of the Mercator projection to allow straight and constant course lines. Or longitude and latitude lines.

What map has parallel lines of latitude and longitude?

What is projection has parallel latitude lines and parallel longitude lines?
'po';op'[ 'po';/l.;;
What are shown as straight lines on a Mercator projection called?
The parallels of latitude and the meridians of longitude are all straight lines on the Mercator projection. That's why Greenland looks bigger than South America.

What type of projection has parallel lines of longitude which disappear near the poles?
Mercator is the type of projection which has parallel lines of longitude which disappear near the poles. The project in question also presents parallel lines of latitude even though the overall clarity gets distorted around both the North and South Poles.
Are the lines of Capricorn and cancer lines of longitude or latitude?
latitude?
What lines are parallel to the equator?
lines of latitude
Are latitude lines called meridian?
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
What is another name for an oval shape projection map?
A Robinson Projection Map - also called an orthophanic projection in which the lines of latitude are curved. It was created by a Canadian-born cartographer named Arthur Robinson (1915 - 2004). There is also a Mollweide projection - within an ellipse in which the lines of longitude are curved. That was devised by Karl Brandan Mollweide, a German from Wolfenbuttel (1774 - 1825).
