Answer 1


<h2>Gerardus Mercator</h2><h2></h2><h3>Explanation:</h3><h3></h3>

He was the first cartographer to use latitude and longitude as an assistant on sailors' maps. By applying a framework of dividing lines to navigational maps, he covered the way for contemporary marine charts.  Sailors utilizing maps in that projection no longer had to recalculate their attitudes on long trips.


Answer 2


<h2>The Lambert Projection more accurately reflects distances, shapes, and directions than the Mercator Projection and cannot show as much area as the Mercator Projection.</h2><h2></h2><h3>Explanation:</h3><h3></h3>

The Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection is a selective mapping from a globule to a disk. It correctly describes the area in all regions of the sphere, but it does not correctly describe angles. The Lambert azimuthal projection is utilized as a map forecast in cartography.


Answer 3


<h2>The Mercator Projection accurately reflects navigational directions and distorts the actual size and position of continents.</h2><h2></h2><h3>Explanation:</h3><h3></h3>

This projection is broadly used for navigation charts because any straight line on a Mercator projection map is a line of continuous true application that allows a navigator to draft a straight-line course. These projections are usually utilized to express particular geographic regions.
