Why is The Robinson map projection is considered very useful?
Most distances, sizes, and shapes are accurate
The Robinson projection map is considered very useful because?
most distances, sizes and shapes are accurate
What kind of a map is a rectangular representation of earth that shows accurate directions but distorts sizes and distances?
mercator projection
What kind of map is a rectangular representation of Earth that shows accuarate directions but distorts sizes and distances?
Mercator projection I got answer off of novanet
What are the main features of the mercator projection?
Mercator:Mercator projection works very poorly in polar regions and becomes undefined at the north and south poles. Historically Mercator is interesting because it is one of the oldest map projections to be used. Christopher Columbus used the Mercator projection in his travels to the new world. This projection is often used in navigation because any straight line is a rhumb line (a line of constant direction). Parallels of latitude and longitude are straight. Features increase in size as the map approaches the poles. Areas and shapes of large areas are distorted. Distortion increases away from the equator and is extreme in polar regions. However, being a conformal projection, angles and shapes within any small area are essentially true.
What map projection is an elliptical equal-area projection that distorts shapes near the edges?
Mollweide Projection is an elliptical equal-area projection, designed in 1805 by German mathematician Carl B Mollweide, represents the size of landforms quite accurately, but distorts shapes near the edges.
What is a disadvantage of the Mercator projection?
it distorts areas near the poles.
On what type of map does distortion increase with distance from the poles?
The Mercator Projection distorts the size of large objects from the Equator to the poles. It was named for Flemish map make Gerardus Mercator.
Which map projection accurately shows directions and shape but distorts distance and size?
Winkel-Tripel

What is the best map projection to use?
Robinson Projection because it has minor distortions, the sizes and shapes near the eastern and western edges of the map are accurate, and outlines of the continents appear much as they do on the globe.
