Which map projection shows correct direction and shape but not size and distance?
B
Which map projection is true and constant in compass direction?
The Mercator projection is the map projection that is true and constant in compass direction. It maintains straight lines for navigation, making it useful for maritime travel. However, this projection distorts the size and shape of landmasses, particularly near the poles, leading to significant inaccuracies in area representation.
What kind of map is a rectangular representation of earth that shows accurate direction but distorts size and distance?
mercator projection
What kind of map is a rectangular representation of earth that shows accurate direction but distorts sizes and distance?
mercator projection
Which map projection does Cuba use?
The map projection that Cuba uses is equirectangular projection. It shows the equidistant or constant spacing map representation of the country.
What is the goode's interrupted projection?
Map shows true dimension and size, although oceans are interrupted and not shown fully.
Is it true or false that the Robinson projection shows the size of the continents accurately and the water areas are expanded to fill the extra space?
True. The Robinson projection is a compromise map projection that shows the size and shape of most continents relatively accurately, while also increasing the size of oceans to balance out the distortions of the land areas. However, no map projection can perfectly represent the three-dimensional Earth on a two-dimensional surface.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of the Mollweide projection?
The Mollweide Projection shows areas that land masses are larger and they are larger. The disorts are shape of land and direction.
The projection note for any map sheet identifies the projection system used on the map sheet?
True. The projection note for any map sheet identifies the projection system used on the map sheet.
Which type of map projection shows all latitude and longitude lines as parell?
The cylindrical map projection, such as the Mercator projection, shows all latitude and longitude lines as parallel. However, this projection distorts the size of land masses the further they are from the equator.
What type of map projection shows shapes and sizes great?
A topographic map.
Which projections map shows true directions?
The azimuthal projection map shows true directions from a central point. In this type of projection, distances and angles are preserved along radials emanating from the center, making it useful for navigation and certain geographical analyses. However, it distorts other properties such as area and shape away from the center point.
