map projection is the beast
its the way the map looks like it can be cut and made into different pictures
Another name for an oval-shaped projection map is called a Robinson Projection Map because it was created by an American cartographer named Arthur Robinson.

in a polar projection you can the northern hemisphere, a mercador projection where you can see stretched out land.
Gall-Peters Projection is an item. This item is a table top map projector. Several schools have begun incorporating Gall-Peters Projection into their classrooms.The projector is named after James Gall and Arno Peters.
this map does not have excellent location. please correct me if i am wrong.
Mercator Projection : longitude and latitude as straight, parallel lines Conic Projection : a circular map made from a flattened cone, centered on a pole or other point Gall-Peters Projection : relocates standard parallels, narrows longitudinal spacing Robinson Projection : approximates a true spherical view of the Earth, except the poles Winkel Tripel Projection : an azimuth approximation of the world view, similar to Robinson The most widely used is the Mercator projection, the major disadvantage being its area expansions (areas closer to the poles appear larger and lack their true shapes). The Gall-Peters Projection provides a closer approximation of the relative areas. All flat representations of a spherical surface will create variances in "true" size or shape. (see image links)
No!, the picture below shows Greenland bigger than India. But this projection is wrong because its a Mercator Projection:- Mercator projection: The maps we see and use in schools are based on Mercator projection. A Mercator projection is a mathematical method of showing a map of the globe on a flat surface. This projection was developed in 1568 byGerhardus Mercator a Flemish geographer, mathematician, and cartographer.Mercator projection was made during an age when Europe dominated and exploited the world. The white dominated countries are thus portrayed to be extraordinarily large, while non white countries become extraordinarily small. It seems that the Mercator map was made to artificially portray the territorial "superiority" of the colonial powers, and psychologically impact the gullible minds of the colonised into submission. Surprisingly, even today maps in India reflect that bygone era.The United Nations in 1974, acknowledging this discrepancy (in Mercator maps), accepted a new map made by another German, Arno Peters. It is called the Peters' projection or the Peters' map. It has equal areas, and equal representation. Peters' map shows countries in their relative sizes, and is based upon Peters' decimal grid, which divides the surface of the Earth into a hundred longitudinal fields of equal width, and a hundred latitudinal fields of equal height.Really,This is correct

The "Peter Projection" (also called the Gall-Peters projection) has accurate relative areas but distorted shapes. It is is one specialization of a configurable equal-area map projection known as the equal-area cylindric.These projections preserve area:Gall orthographic (also known as Gall-Peters, or Peters, projection)Albers conicLambert azimuthal equal-areaLambert cylindrical equal-areaMollweideHammerBriesemeisterSinusoidalWernerBonneBottomleyGoode's homolosineHobo-DyerCollignonTobler hyperelliptical

A Winkle Tribal map projection is a modified azimuthal map projection. This is one of three projection.
Topographic map
a map projection is a map that has lots of different angles.
