What is a Round or circular shaped map projection?
Azimuthal
Where is the greatest distortion on a Mercator projection?
On a mereator projection the greatest distortion is produced
Is azimuthal is a type of map projection?
Azimuth is the measurement of the position of a star in the sky
What is the most used projection map?
Discounting the Mercator, which cartographers tend to HATE but is ubiquitous anyway... Probably the Lambert Conformal Conic projection, or the Lambert Azimuthal Equal-Area projection (used by the US National Atlas).
What type of map shows distortion increase with distance from the poles?
Polar Projections
Is a polar projection an example of a azimuthal projection?
yes
What is a Round or circular shaped map projection?
Azimuthal
Where is the greatest distortion on a Mercator projection?
On a mereator projection the greatest distortion is produced
What is a Winkle Tribal map projection?
A Winkle Tribal map projection is a modified azimuthal map projection. This is one of three projection.
Is azimuthal is a type of map projection?
Azimuth is the measurement of the position of a star in the sky
What is a importance of map projection?
A projection is a way of keeping the distortion of a flat map
Does equal area projection has distortion?
yes
What is less accurate about a Mercator projection?
what is one problem with the mercator projection
Projection suitable for mapping a small area?
The Cylindrical projection should be the basis for a large rectangular area and a Conic projection for a triangular area.Therefore use a circular/Azimuthal for a small area or even conic.
What is the most used projection map?
Discounting the Mercator, which cartographers tend to HATE but is ubiquitous anyway... Probably the Lambert Conformal Conic projection, or the Lambert Azimuthal Equal-Area projection (used by the US National Atlas).
What advantage does an azimuthal map projection have over a cylindrical map projection?
actually, we don't have any idea about this because our teacher, florentino morales jr didn't taught us what is this stuff!
A cylinder map projection shows a high degree of distortion at the?
at the poles
