The equal-area projection shows size of various land masses.
Mercator projection is used on ships. It shows the correct shapes of continents but the areas are distorted. The longitude lines are parallel which makes the areas at the poles seem larger than they actually are. Hope this helps.
The map projection that Cuba uses is equirectangular projection. It shows the equidistant or constant spacing map representation of the country.
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.
The Robinson projection shows the entire world map at once.
The Mollweide Projection shows areas that land masses are larger and they are larger. The disorts are shape of land and direction.
yes map projection shows true direction
true
true
A globe shows it best, but almost every projection shows distance...

The Mercator projection does that.
The shapes of the Countries on the globe are all shown in the same scale (different areas). However, the equal-area projection map shows the Countries with different scales, that way they can easily be seen (same areas).
