What is a Winkle Tribal map projection?
A Winkle Tribal map projection is a modified azimuthal map projection. This is one of three projection.
What system for mapping the round earth on a flat surface called?
A map projection is a way to represent the curved surface of the Earth on the flat surface of a map.
What is a conical projection and what does it distort?
A conical projection is a type of map projection where the Earth's surface is projected onto a cone placed over the globe. This method is particularly useful for mapping mid-latitude regions, as it preserves shapes and angles well within a certain area. However, it distorts areas and distances, especially as one moves away from the standard parallels where the cone touches the globe. Consequently, features can appear stretched or compressed, leading to inaccuracies in size and scale.
What are different types of map projections?
Mercator Projection : longitude and latitude as straight, parallel lines Conic Projection : a circular map made from a flattened cone, centered on a pole or other point Gall-Peters Projection : relocates standard parallels, narrows longitudinal spacing Robinson Projection : approximates a true spherical view of the Earth, except the poles Winkel Tripel Projection : an azimuth approximation of the world view, similar to Robinson The most widely used is the Mercator projection, the major disadvantage being its area expansions (areas closer to the poles appear larger and lack their true shapes). The Gall-Peters Projection provides a closer approximation of the relative areas. All flat representations of a spherical surface will create variances in "true" size or shape. (see image links)
What type of map is a Mercator map?
Mercator is not a map, but a map projection, i.e. a way of representing the continents on a map. The Mercator projection is only accurate between 30 degrees north and south latitude. The further away you go from that point, the greater the exaggeration.

What the difference between a map and a map projection?
a map projection is a map that has lots of different angles.

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.
What is Lambert projections?
It is a conical projection of the earth used for aeronautical charts
What is the difference between a map and a projection?

What map displays a flat representation of a round object?
a projection map
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 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 are two map projection?
Two common map projections are Mercator and the Robinson Projection.
