What are some sentence examples using the word mercator projection in a sentence?
Mercator projection is a way of making maps so that the earth's surface is shown flatly.
How do you spell such?
That is the correct spelling of "such" (like, or of some degree).
How do you abbreviate associate degree in general studies?
If you have an Art degree, which is the more common general studies degree, it would be Associate in Art of General Studies. A.A.G.S. or AAGS Some schools offer a science in general studies degree, similarly it would be abbreviated A.S.G.S. or ASGS
What is the definition of map distortion?
When the picture of the world is put on to a flat piece of paper, the longitudes and latitude need to be stretched out a little bit. So sometimes the antarctic can seem bigger on some other maps.
What is a b f a?
It is not british slang! it a degree for writing called, Bachelor of fine arts degree. you have to get one of these if you want to become some kind of artist or writer espically a fiction writer or creative writer! ^_^
Why doe every map have some degree of distortion?
The world is a sphere, maps can't be.
A change in the accuracy of shapes and distances on a map is called?
A change in the accuracy of shapes and distances on a map is called distortion. Distortion occurs because it is impossible to represent the Earth's curved surface on a flat map without some degree of distortion in shape, size, or distance.
What elements might be distorted by a projection?
In a projection, elements like shapes, sizes, distances, and angles can be distorted. This distortion occurs because projecting a three-dimensional object onto a two-dimensional surface inevitably involves some degree of simplification and alteration of the original object's properties.
What cartographers represent the three dimensional earth in two dimensions what i likely to occur?
Distortion of shapes, sizes, and distances is likely to occur when cartographers represent the three-dimensional Earth on a two-dimensional map. This distortion is known as map projection, where different map projections prioritize different aspects such as area, distance, or direction. It is impossible to accurately represent the spherical Earth on a flat map without some degree of distortion.
How does a cartographer determine which map projection to use?
A cartographer determines which map projection to use based on the purpose of the map and the area being represented. Factors considered include the shape, area distortion, direction distortion, and scale distortion of the projection in relation to the specific geographic region being mapped. Different projections prioritize different characteristics, such as preserving shape, area, direction, or distance.
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 is a map projection?
It is a projection of a map.AdditionallyA map projection is used to represent all or part of the round Earth onto a flat surface which always creates some form of distortion. Mapmakers and mathematicians have devised countless ways to project the image of the globe onto paper.
What is a conical projection map?
A conical projection map is a type of map projection that shows the Earth's surface on a cone. This projection is useful for mapping regions that are closer to the poles. The cone is positioned so that it touches the globe at a specific latitude, resulting in minimal distortion within that latitude band.
What must every measurement contain?
Some degree of error.
What map have projection has fairly accurate shapes in the center but increasing distorting toward the edges?
All two dimensional (flat) maps (called projections) of the surface of the Earth have distortion. Several projections are used to create such maps and each is better for some uses and not others. There is no most distorted projection. It depends on the intended use for the map.
Does the bass player of evanescence use a distortion?
Which songs are you asking about? I am going to just assume its Bring me to life. Well there is always distortion in almost every song with bass because People never notice it. In attempt to let the bassist get some notice, there is going to be distortion. I play regular guitar so I cant tell you weather its wah wah, or something else but Yes. There is, in fact, distortion.
Is a method used by early map makers to represent the world on a flat surface?
Map projection
