What kind of map projection would you use to show the size of various land masses?
Equal-Area projection
Where is the equator in a polar projection?
A polar projection of the earth shows a pole (north or south, depending on the projection) at the center of a circular map. The equator is the circumference of the circle.
What is the polar projection map?
Polar projections are often made in what is called the Azimuthal Equidistant Projection. The projection would be made tangent at the north pole, or at the south pole. These projections allow you to make linear measurements from the pole to any point on earth. These measurements are the shortest distances from the pole to the points and can be directly compared to one another. A polar projection shows the poles; I learned it in my science class.
What type of map shows distortion increase with distance from the poles?
Polar Projections
What kind of map projection cuts the world into sections?
Goode's Interrupted Projection
What does a polar projection show?
A map of a location near or in the poles.
What are the positives and negatives of a polar projection map and the Peters projection Map?
in a polar projection you can the northern hemisphere, a mercador projection where you can see stretched out land.
What is a polar-projection map?
A map centred on a Pole.
What kind of map projection would you use to show the size of various land masses?
Equal-Area projection
What type of map projection is used by airline pilots?
The type of map projection used by pilots is called a Polar Projection. It shows the Earth from one of the two poles, which helps show what is known as The Great Circle Route. This states that if you live on a rounded object such as the Earth, you travel on a curved line. This makes a Polar Projection the best choice and most commonly used map projection used by pilots.
