Geography
1 answer:
Viktor [21]3 years ago
6 0

In other words, a map projection systematically renders a 3D ellipsoid (or spheroid) of Earth to a 2D map surface. ... Because you can't display 3D surfaces perfectly in two dimensions, distortions always occur. For example, map projections distort distance, direction, scale, and area.

In cartography, a map projection is a way to flatten a globe's surface into a plane in order to make a map. This requires a systematic transformation of the latitudes and longitudes of locations from the surface of the globe into locations on a plane.

Top 10 World Map Projections

-Mercator. This projection was developed by Gerardus Mercator back in 1569 for navigational purposes. ...

-Robinson. This map is known as a 'compromise', it shows neither the shape or land mass of -countries correct. ...
