What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between mercator and Robinson projection?
the mercator projection lines are straight but the robinsons are curved
Is north always straight toward the top of the Mercator projection?
no
How do you describe a mercator map projection?
A mercator map is best described as bigger and smaller portions of land than what is actually is
What one characteristic of the mercator projection remains true or undistorted no matter where you are on a map of this type?
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.
How does a mercator map misrepresent the world?
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).
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 projection is a Mercator projectio?
It is a Mercator projection!
How are a mercator projection and an Robinson projection map the same?
what similarity about the mercator projection and the robinson projection?
What maps projection do nearly all seagoing navigators still use today?
The answer is the Mercator projection
What is less accurate about a Mercator projection?
what is one problem with the mercator projection
What type of projection is a Mercator?
cylindrical projection
What is the difference between mercator and Robinson projection?
the mercator projection lines are straight but the robinsons are curved
What came first Mercator projection or the Robinson projection?
Robinson projection
What are the three types of projection maps are?
Mercator Projection, Interrupted Projection, Robinson Projection
What type of map projection is used by ship navigation?
Mercator
Would Greenland be smaller on a Mercator or a Robinson map projection?
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.
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.
