Answer:
A Mercator map projection greatly distorts the area of land masses near the poles.
Explanation:
Mercator projection is a projection method where the meridians are deposited vertically on the parallel circles, and where the distance along these circles is gradually stretched more in relation to the terrain it gets closer to the pole. The method is common, for example on world and sea maps. It maintains directions correctly.
The projection gets right at the equator but in theory never reaches the poles and it depends on the cylindrical projection. Gerhardus Mercator's projection became famous in the 16th century and has since been used on the seas.

Answer: First off, that is a beautiful rock!
Also, is there any other information given? Like about rock layer formation, or about this rock specifically or anything?
If there is no other information, then I'd say it took thousands for years for the layers to form, but it depends on the type of rock in the layer.
For example, Igneous rock takes only a few days to form, because all it is is cooled lava, whereas granite takes a few million years to form.
This looks like it might be sandstone or something.
Sandstone takes about 10-100 years to form, so if this is sandstone, then each layer probably look about 100 years to form, and the whole rock with all the layers might have taken thousands of years, but I need more info to be sure.
