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 type of projection conical or cylindrical would show least distortion of central Africa?

Cylindrical , providing the cylinder axis is co-linear with the N/S polar axial line through the centre of the Earth.


Does the Robinson projection show the size if the continents accurately but the water areas are expanded to fill the extra space?

most, if not all, of the map projections that are created have some sort of distortion. ( because the map projections were made to resemble Earth on paper. ) So even if it seems like there is no distortion, or at least any easy to find distortion, there is distortion and warping of continents although they can be very close to somewhat accurate. ( Globes have been proven to be the best resource to look at continents, countries, physical features, etc. ) Also, we must realize that maps are scaled down versions of Earth so you can't fit Australia in the palm of your hand. But I personally would say that the Robinson projeciton map is a good projection.

What kind of map is rectangular representation of Earth that shows accurate directions but distorts size ans distance?

ALL flat maps distort distances and directions. The Earth is roughly a sphere; there is no way to show a flat map without distortions. When you press your face against a window, flattening your face distorts your image; so too with every kind of map. The only map with no distortion is a globe.But each different kind of map produces different kinds of distortions, so it's important to pick the kind of map that produces the least distortion for your purpose.But perhaps the worst map, in terms of distortion at higher latitudes, is the Mercator projection of the entire Earth. Along the equator, a Mercator map is quite accurate, but as you move north or south of about 45 degrees latitude, it becomes wildly exaggerated.For higher latitudes, choose a "conic section" matched to your latitude. Around the poles, you should choose a polar projection map.


What is the Robinson project?

Arthur H. Robinson was professor emeritus of geography and cartography at the University of Wisconsin. Robinson's Projection transforms the spherical earth onto a flat map by a method that shows overall shapes, sizes, positions, and appearances of the earth's countries with less distortion than on most flat world maps. (and that, my dears, should earn anyone an A- at the least.)


Which distortion in produce in class a amplifier?

The so-called "Class-A" amplifier is the configuration with the least distortion. Active stages are biased to operate within the linear portion of their characteristics, and drive is controlled to avoid saturation or cutoff. Any remaining distortion is due exclusively to unavoidable non-linearities in components.


In geography what does the word distortion mean?

It means that if you take earth and make it flat, there are some parts that are not shown or ripped, which makes the people draw a distortion of what it should look like. The north and south pole are the most parts that are ripped, which make most of that part of the map distorted, while the equator has the least distortion.

What is drepanocytes?

These are Red Blood Cells that have been transformed by hemoglobin polymerization into rigid, inflexible cells with at least one pointed projection.


Does a Mercator projection show the size shape or the location of the continents more accurately on a map?

None of them. However, the location is distorted the least.
