A cylinder map projection shows a high degree of distortion at the?

The cylinder map projection shows a high degree of distortion at the poles. This distortion causes shapes and distances to be exaggerated in polar regions, while the equator remains relatively accurate.


What are som advantages and disadvantages of a mercator projection and of an equal area projection?

advantages: correctly shows the relative sizes of Earth's landmasses disadvantages: has distortion shows the landmasses near the edges stretched and curved

How is a map different from a glob?

A map is a flat printing of what is a birds-eye view of the earth. A world map printed on paper shows distortion with some countries being larger than they actually are. Maps of small sections show no distortion. A globe shows the earth without distortion, especially as the globe shows the whole world. The trouble with a globe, is you can't easily carry it in your rucksack!


Unfortunately two dimensional maps usually shows what in area shape or scale?

What happens to the image distance as the object distance increases?

As the object distance increases, the image distance also increases. This relationship is governed by the lens or mirror equation, which shows that when the object is moved farther from the lens or mirror, the image is also formed farther from the lens or mirror.


Where is the field around a magnet is the strongest and where it is the weakest?

This shows the field lines around a disk magnet where the North pole is at the top. This shows the magnetic field strength around the disk magnet. Again, it is strongest in the corners, not in the center of the poles! The magnetic field is weakest in the middle of its poles!


How do mercator maps distort the view of earths surface?

The Mercator projection used for maps distorts the size and shape of large objects as the scale increases from the Equator to the poles where it becomes infinite. Whereas areas near the equator have little or no distortion, a latitude greater than 70 degrees has too much distortion to be useful.


Which map projection shows how close north America Europe and Asia are?

The Mercator projection shows North America, Europe, and Asia closer together than they actually are. This projection distorts the size of land areas as it gets further from the equator, making countries near the poles appear larger than they are in reality.
