The most common map projections are based on three main geometric shapes: 1) Sphere to a Plane 2) Cylindrical Projections, 3) Conic Projections.
a gnomonic map makes countries look longer, distorted, and hard to understand
Mercator and conic projections are different because conic projections have a cone/triangle shape and they are the same because both are type of maps..... I know really bad answer but I hope this helped
its between Topographic and mercator projection
The Mercator Projection, developed by Flemish geographer Gerardus Mercator, was widely used as the standard two-dimensional projection of the earth for world maps until the late 20th century, when more accurate projections were formulated. Mercator was also the first to use and popularize the concept of the atlas as a collection of maps.

yes ,Mercator Robinson and conic projections differ because Mercator Robinson is not true it`s Mercator projection . Mercator projections are the grid is rectangular and lines of latitude and longitude are all parallel. conic projections are a map projections of the globe onto a cone with its points over one of the earth`s poles

flow map for routes....isopleth,climograph,ergograph for weather...
Discounting the Mercator, which cartographers tend to HATE but is ubiquitous anyway... Probably the Lambert Conformal Conic projection, or the Lambert Azimuthal Equal-Area projection (used by the US National Atlas).
Cut off at the top. cannot see north or south poles.
Two types of uninterrupted projections are azimuthal and conic projections. Azimuthal projections are made by placing a flat piece of paper against the globe and tracing the outlines, while conic projections involve projecting the globe onto a cone and then unwrapping it onto a flat surface.
Conic sections have several disadvantages, including the complexity of their equations compared to simpler geometric shapes, such as circles or rectangles. Additionally, conic sections can be difficult to visualize and manipulate, especially for individuals who are not familiar with their properties and characteristics. Finally, conic sections may not always accurately represent real-world objects or phenomena, making them less practical for certain applications compared to other geometric shapes.
Conic projections are typically used for mapping regions with east-west extents that are greater than their north-south extents, such as mid-latitude regions. Navigating a ship or aircraft requires accurate representation of both north-south and east-west directions, making other projections like Mercator or azimuthal projections more suitable for this purpose.
