The "Peter Projection" (also called the Gall-Peters projection) has accurate relative areas but distorted shapes. It is is one specialization of a configurable equal-area map projection known as the equal-area cylindric.
These projections preserve area:
- Gall orthographic (also known as Gall-Peters, or Peters, projection)
- Albers conic
- Lambert azimuthal equal-area
- Lambert cylindrical equal-area
- Mollweide
- Hammer
- Briesemeister
- Sinusoidal
- Werner
- Bonne
- Bottomley
- Goode's homolosine
- Hobo-Dyer
- Collignon
- Tobler hyperelliptical
What else can I help you with?
A globe is more accurate than a map because a globe can show?
A globe is more accurate than a map because it is a three-dimensional representation of the Earth, which minimizes distortions in shape, size, and distance that can occur on flat maps. This allows for more accurate depictions of the planet's features and their spatial relationships.
What is a Interrupted map?
An interrupted map is a type of map projection that intentionally distorts the shape, size, or distance of certain areas on a map in order to minimize distortion across the entire map. Interrupted maps often feature breaks or empty spaces to achieve a more accurate representation of the Earth's surface than traditional map projections.
Which map shows the most accurate relative Size of Antarctica the white region on each map why?
The map that shows the most accurate relative size of Antarctica is the Peters Projection map. This map emphasizes area, making regions near the poles, like Antarctica, appear larger relative to their actual size on a traditional Mercator map, which distorts land masses near the poles. The white region on each map indicates the icy expanse of Antarctica, and the Peters Projection provides a more truthful representation of its true scale compared to other projections.
Which map is more accurate mercator or Robinson?
Robinson's map is much more accurate. Mercator's is very out of proportion. If you notice, mercator's map shows Greenland larger than South America, when South America is actually the bigger of the two.
What kind of map shows the shape of the ground by means of shading or modeling?
A contour map.
Which map projection shows correct direction and shape but not size and distance?
B
What is the advantage of a Robinson Projection?
Robinson projection is a map projection of a world map, which shows the entire world at once.
What a Robinson projected map?
This map expands the water areas in order to keep size and shape of the continents accurate.
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
Which map projection accurately shows directions and shape but distorts distance and size?
Winkel-Tripel
What kind of map is a rectangular representation of earth that shows accurate direction but distorts size and distance?
mercator projection

Why do you think a globe is more accurate than a map?
a globe is a sphere and is the same shape as the earth. it shows the mountains and terrain but does not give you a specific location. the map is better becasue it is more precise.
Which map is more accurate mercator or Robinson?
Robinson's map is much more accurate. Mercator's is very out of proportion. If you notice, mercator's map shows Greenland larger than South America, when South America is actually the bigger of the two.
