Compare and contrast mercator and gnomonic projections?

Compare: Both Mercator and Gnomonic projections are commonly used for nautical purposes, such as routes for ships to take.Contrast: Gnomonic projections usually display a small area of the Earth, whereas a Mercator projection displays the entire Earth, but with distortions at the poles.

Where are land masses distorted on a gnomonic projection?

Land masses are distorted towards the edges of a gnomonic projection, with the distortion increasing as you move away from the center point. The distortion is most noticeable at the outer edges of the map, particularly near the poles.

What are Mercator and Gnomonic projections most common used for?

The Mercator projection is commonly used for navigation and general-purpose world maps due to its ability to accurately represent directions. The Gnomonic projection, on the other hand, is often used for navigational purposes like plotting great circle routes or representing shortest paths between two points on a globe.

What is the type of projection formed by placing a sheet of paper so that it touches the globe at only on point is?

The type of projection formed by placing a sheet of paper so that it touches the globe at only one point is called an azimuthal projection. This projection preserves direction accurately from the central point of contact, making it useful for navigational purposes. Examples include the polar azimuthal and gnomonic projections.


Describe the differences between a Mercator projection and a gnomonic projection?

A Mercator projection map is the most familiar and common to usage in primary education systems. Mercator projections model the continents and oceans into a flattened and rolled cylindrical format. In comparison a Gnomonic projection is also two dimensional and flat but it uses lines which are actual representation of point-to-point s indicating true distance. Another significant difference is scale as Mercator's can represent the entire earth whereas Gnomonics represent a geographical limited area. Lastly Mercator's have the difference of distortion and under representing the actual sizes of Greenland and Continental Africa.
