What type of map projection is used by ship navigation?
Mercator
The projection note for any map sheet identifies the projection system used on the map sheet?
True. The projection note for any map sheet identifies the projection system used on the map sheet.
What type of map projection would allow you to draw a map of the world from outer space?
orthographic projection
What is a mercator projection and what is its purpose?
Mercator's projection is a map used mostly in the Americas. The purpose of the map projection was to help sailors trade. It was a sailor's map
What type of map displays a representation of a a round object?
a projection map
What type of map looks like an orange peel?
An orange peel map refers to a type of map projection known as the sinusoidal projection. This type of map projection is designed to minimize distortion of landmasses compared to other projections, but it distorts shapes and distances towards the poles. It resembles the peel of an orange when flattened out.
What type of map projection shows shapes and sizes great?
A topographic map.
What type of map displays a flat representation of a flat object?
a projection map
What type of map display a flat representation of a round object?
a projection map
Map projection is used for sea travel?
A map projection that is used for sea travel includes the gnomonic projection. This was most often used to find the shortest routes between points on a sphere.
What type of map projection is used by airline pilots?
The type of map projection used by pilots is called a Polar Projection. It shows the Earth from one of the two poles, which helps show what is known as The Great Circle Route. This states that if you live on a rounded object such as the Earth, you travel on a curved line. This makes a Polar Projection the best choice and most commonly used map projection used by pilots.
What is a Robinson map?
A Robinson map is a type of world map projection that was created in 1963 by Arthur H. Robinson. It aims to balance the distortion of shape, area, scale, and distance in a way that provides a more visually appealing representation of the globe compared to other map projections like the Mercator projection. The Robinson map is commonly used in atlases and textbooks.
