What map have projection has fairly accurate shapes in the center but increasing distorting toward the edges?
All two dimensional (flat) maps (called projections) of the surface of the Earth have distortion. Several projections are used to create such maps and each is better for some uses and not others. There is no most distorted projection. It depends on the intended use for the map.
How to make a Robinson projection made?
To make a Robinson projection, you would need to first create a world map using a cylindrical projection such as the Mercator projection. Then, distort the map by stretching and compressing sections to reduce distortion at the poles and maintain a visually appealing depiction of the globe. Finally, adjust the map to follow the general latitude and longitude spacing of the Robinson projection to achieve the final product.
What is another name for an oval shape projection map?
A Robinson Projection Map - also called an orthophanic projection in which the lines of latitude are curved. It was created by a Canadian-born cartographer named Arthur Robinson (1915 - 2004). There is also a Mollweide projection - within an ellipse in which the lines of longitude are curved. That was devised by Karl Brandan Mollweide, a German from Wolfenbuttel (1774 - 1825).

Why do Greenland appears larger on a mercator projection than it does on a Robinson projection?
Well because the Mercator project is made to stretch out so Greenland stretches out and it bigger on the Robinson projection and this is the wrong answer have a good day folks lol jk this is the right answer ppl
