What are the four types of map projections?
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)
Why do most modern cartographersprefer the Robinson projection to the mercator projection?
Most modern cartographers prefer the Robinson projection over the Mercator projection because it provides a more visually accurate representation of the Earth's continents and oceans. The Robinson projection minimizes distortion in size, shape, and distance, making it more suitable for world maps. In contrast, the Mercator projection significantly enlarges areas near the poles, which can mislead viewers about the relative sizes of countries and regions. Overall, the Robinson projection strikes a better balance between various types of distortion, making it more effective for general reference.
What is the most famous of cylindrical projection?
mercator
Who invented the most common projection for world maps?
Gerardus Mercator is credited with inventing the Mercator projection in 1569, which is one of the most common projections for world maps due to its ability to accurately represent lines of constant course, known as rhumb lines, for navigational purposes.
What are the 4 types of maps most used today?
Historic, Distributive, Physical, and projection maps or elevation( commonly used today)
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!

What are Mercator and Gnomonic projections most common used for?
The Mercator projection is commonly used for navigation and general-purpose world maps due to its ability to accurately represent directions. The Gnomonic projection, on the other hand, is often used for navigational purposes like plotting great circle routes or representing shortest paths between two points on a globe.
