The application was ocean navigation; for nautical purposes.
the mercator projection lines are straight but the robinsons are curved
no
A mercator map is best described as bigger and smaller portions of land than what is actually is
The Mercator Projection keeps all angles of land masses equal in relation to the Earth's meridians. This is what has made it so popular as a nautical travel tool for sailors.
The Mercator map projection does not represent area correctly. the equatorial regions are relatively small and the polar regions relatively large (if Greenland looks larger than Australia then the area proportions are wrong Australia has more than three times the surface area of Greenland).
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
It is a Mercator projection!
what similarity about the mercator projection and the robinson projection?
The answer is the Mercator projection
what is one problem with the mercator projection
cylindrical projection
the mercator projection lines are straight but the robinsons are curved
Robinson projection
Mercator Projection, Interrupted Projection, Robinson Projection
Mercator
Greenland appears larger on a Mercator map projection compared to a Robinson map projection. The Mercator projection distorts the size of land masses as they near the poles, resulting in Greenland appearing much larger than it actually is.
The ability of the Mercator projection to allow straight and constant course lines. Or longitude and latitude lines.
