Which projection show shape of landmasses most accurately?
There is no map that shows all of the land masses correct shapes. Cylindrical projections will show land masses accurately if they are close to the equator. Planar will show them correctly at the center of the map. And conic projection will show the poles accurately. If you really need perfect sizes, use a globe (: hope that helped!
What type of geographic representation preserves the shape of the features but distorts the are?
A conformal projection preserves the shape of features on a map but distorts their area. Examples of conformal projections include the Mercator projection and the Lambert conformal conic projection.
What is the main drawback of the homolosine projection?
The main drawback of the homolosine projection is distortion of shape and distance. This projection sacrifices accurate representation of both shape and size to achieve a compromise that minimizes distortion across the entire map.
What is an Eckert IV projection?
The Eckert IV projection is a pseudocylindrical map projection used to represent the entire Earth's surface. It is equal-area, meaning that it preserves the relative size of land masses. The projection is known for its aesthetically pleasing oval shape and is often used for world maps.
How does a cartographer determine which map projection to use?
A cartographer determines which map projection to use based on the purpose of the map and the area being represented. Factors considered include the shape, area distortion, direction distortion, and scale distortion of the projection in relation to the specific geographic region being mapped. Different projections prioritize different characteristics, such as preserving shape, area, direction, or distance.
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.

Which map projection shows correct direction and shape but not size and distance?
B

What is a shape that shows a wedge shape portion of the earth?
conic projection
Is a camera 3d shape?
A camera is a 3D shape. A photograph is a 2D projection of a 3D shape onto a 2D shape.

A conformal projection preserves the shape of features on a map but distorts their area. Examples of conformal projections include the Mercator projection and the Lambert conformal conic projection.
What kind of projection exhibits a circle as an elliptic shape?
Isometric~!!
Does the mercator projection more accurately show the size shape or the location of the continents on a map?
Mercator projection is used on ships. It shows the correct shapes of continents but the areas are distorted. The longitude lines are parallel which makes the areas at the poles seem larger than they actually are. Hope this helps.
What is the main drawback of the homolosine projection?
The main drawback of the homolosine projection is distortion of shape and distance. This projection sacrifices accurate representation of both shape and size to achieve a compromise that minimizes distortion across the entire map.
Winkle triple projection?
The Winkle Triple projection provides a good balance between the size and shape of land areas on the map.
A map that accurately portrays land shape is called a?
conformal projection
