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 error in shape distance or size on a map?
scale
What characteristics of earths surface are distorted by DIFFeRENT MAp projections?
Different map projections distort characteristics such as shape, size, distance, and direction. For example, the Mercator projection distorts the size of land masses near the poles, making them appear larger than they actually are, while the Peters projection preserves size but distorts shape. It's important to choose a map projection based on the specific purpose of the map to minimize distortion of certain features.
What is the Mercado Projection?
The Mercado projection is a map projection that preserves the shapes of continent to minimize distortion. It is often used to represent regions near the equator with less distortion in shape and direction.
Distortion in a map may change the shape of a?
Distortion in a map may change the shape of a continent or country. This occurs when the map projection used does not accurately represent the true size and shape of land masses, often leading to differences in how they appear on the map compared to reality.
What type of map preserves shape and preserves size?
A conformal map is a type of map that preserves shape (angles) and a equal-area map preserves size (area). However, no single map projection can perfectly preserve both shape and size simultaneously across an entire map.
What transformation preserves the shape and size?
Rigid motion
What preserves a geometric figure's size and shape?
congruence transformation
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.
When comparing map the shape ro size of the same place can look different. What is it called?
The phenomenon where the shape or size of the same place appears different on various maps is known as "map projection." Different map projections distort geographical features in various ways to represent the three-dimensional Earth on a two-dimensional surface. Common projections include the Mercator, which preserves angles but distorts size, and the Robinson, which aims for a more visually appealing balance of shape and size.
What does a line reflection preserve?
A line reflection preserves the shape and size of an object. It also preserves the orientation and distance between points on the object, but it does not preserve the direction or handedness of the object.
What is error in shape distance or size on a map?
scale
Does the Mercator projection show the size shape or location of the continents more accurately on a mapslide2?
The Mercator projection preserves the shape of countries accurately, but distorts their size, especially near the poles. This means that countries near the equator will appear smaller than they actually are on a Mercator map, while those near the poles will appear larger.
Shows size and shapes on a map accurately?
the atlas that truckers most use are maps in which show true shape but definitely indignify the size of the map
Where on the map is it the most out of shape or size?
You must be referring to a cartogram. This map places countries in population rather than size.
