The type of map that exaggerates distances at the poles is called a cylindrical map projection, specifically the Mercator projection. In this projection, areas far from the equator, particularly near the poles, appear much larger than they actually are, leading to significant distortion in size and distance. This makes it useful for navigation but less accurate for representing the true size of landmasses.
What else can I help you with?
What type of map looks like an orange peel?
An orange peel map refers to a type of map projection known as the sinusoidal projection. This type of map projection is designed to minimize distortion of landmasses compared to other projections, but it distorts shapes and distances towards the poles. It resembles the peel of an orange when flattened out.
On which type of map does distortion increase with distance from the poles?
what is the poles distance of space and matter.
What does an azimuthal map show correctly?
I believe the azimutal map shows the poles and direction correctly
A cylinder map projection shows a high degree of distortion at the?
The cylinder map projection shows a high degree of distortion at the poles. This distortion causes shapes and distances to be exaggerated in polar regions, while the equator remains relatively accurate.
How are distances measured on a map?
East and west distances can be measured using longitude lines, imaginary lines that connect the Earth's poles. The distance between any two longitudes is the greatest at the equator, and zero at the poles.

Is azimuthal is a type of map projection?
Azimuth is the measurement of the position of a star in the sky
What is the ruler on a map to convert distances on the map to actual ground distances?
That is the scale of that map.
What is the ruler printed on map used to convert distances on the map to actual ground distances?
That is the scale of that map.
What kind of map projects the poles?
A polar projection map projects the poles. This type of map displays the Earth's surface with the North or South pole at the center, and lines of longitude converging at the pole. This type of map is useful for showing polar regions accurately.
What is ruler printed on a map used to convert distances on the map to actual ground distances?
That is the scale of that map.
What is The relationship between distances on the map and the actual distances on earth is?
Map scale
What advantage does a globes have over a flat map?
A flat map exaggerates certain countries close to the poles. A globe shows the bodies of land in their actual size. For example: Greenland looks huge on a flat map, but looks much smaller (its actual size compared to the other countries) on a globe. Next, lines of longitude and latitude are more accurate on a globe.
