Answer 1

The statements that describe conic projections are:

• Multiple types exist.
• Pilots use this projection type'
• Poles usually serve as central points

Conic projections are made by placing a cone on top of a globe and projecting light from the globe's center onto the cone. Many conic projection characteristics were used in Ptolemy's maps, but there is little evidence that he used the cone or even referred to a cone as a developable map projection surface.

Conic projections are commonly used for polar maps and maps that only show a portion of the globe. Albers Equal Area Conic, Equidistant Conic, Lambert Conformal Conic, and Polyconic are some examples of conic projections (one of the more common).
