Meridians are typically shown as straight lines radiating out from the center point of the polar projection map. They converge at the poles and represent lines of longitude, which help to indicate direction and location on the map. These meridians help users navigate and understand the spatial relationships on the polar projection.

How do meridians that appear on cylindrical projection differ from meriidians on a globe?

Meridians on a cylindrical projection appear as straight vertical lines on the map, while meridians on a globe are smooth curves meeting at the poles. The distortion of meridians increases as you move away from the equator on a cylindrical projection, making them seem more elongated.


On a globe the meridians converge toward the poles What is the pattern of meridians on the Mercator?

On a Mercator projection, meridians appear as straight, parallel lines running from top to bottom of the map, spaced evenly apart. This is because the Mercator projection is a cylindrical map projection that preserves straight lines of constant bearing, resulting in meridians being stretched vertically towards the poles.

Where is the equator in a polar projection?

A polar projection of the earth shows a pole (north or south, depending on the projection) at the center of a circular map. The equator is the circumference of the circle.


Do all of the parallels and meridians cross each other at right angles on both the globe and the Mercator?

On a globe, parallels and meridians meet at right angles only at the equator and the poles. On a Mercator projection map, all meridians intersect the equator at right angles, while parallels intersect meridians at right angles throughout the map.


How are the meridians on the map different from the meridians on a globe?

Meridians on a globe get closer and eventually merge at the North and South Poles. On a map (a flat plane) the meridians are drawn parallel and there is distortion at the poles, most noticeable on a world map.

What is the polar projection map?

Polar projections are often made in what is called the Azimuthal Equidistant Projection. The projection would be made tangent at the north pole, or at the south pole. These projections allow you to make linear measurements from the pole to any point on earth. These measurements are the shortest distances from the pole to the points and can be directly compared to one another. A polar projection shows the poles; I learned it in my science class.
