Is the north always straight toward the top of the Mercator projection?
On a Mercator projection map, north is typically represented as straight up toward the top of the map. However, it's important to note that the Mercator projection distorts the size and shape of landmasses as they get closer to the poles.
In mapping what is the difference between mercator projection and an equal area projection?
Mercator projection distorts the size of land masses, resulting in high distortion near the poles. Equal area projections maintain accurate land area proportions, making them useful for representing data like population density.
How are the lines of longitude on the mercator projection different form the other two?
Lines of longitude on the Mercator projection are straight and evenly spaced, while on the other two projections (such as the Robinson or Winkel Tripel), they are curved and vary in spacing. This distortion in longitude is a trade-off for maintaining accurate shapes and angles on the Mercator projection.
Where did Mercator live?
no
Who was mapmaker?
Gerardus Mercator, a Flemish cartographer, is famous for creating the Mercator projection map in the 16th century. This projection greatly helped in maritime navigation but distorts the size of land masses as they get closer to the poles.
What is the advantage of Mercator projection?
The ability of the Mercator projection to allow straight and constant course lines. Or longitude and latitude lines.
What is the advantage of a Robinson projection over a mercator projection?
because the robinson projection is more stronger and has more people than the mercator projection. this is also the right answer to. you see i grew up in a small town where yopu have to be right about everything.
