Why do cartographers use map projections

Geography
1 answer:
Viktor [21]2 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. ...

-Dymaxion Map. ...

-Gall-Peters. ...

-Sinu-Mollweide. ...

-Goode's Homolosine. ...

-AuthaGraph. ...

-Hobo-Dyer.

SORRY IF WRONG YES BROTHER OR FRIENDS.

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

L is at point (-10, 1)

Explanation:

-4 is -3 poins away from -7, so add -7 and -3 to get -10. -6 is 4 points away from -2, so add -2 and 4 to get 1. (normally -2 + 4 is 2, but since it's a graph, you have to include point 0) sorry if my explanation doesn't make a whole lot of sense lol, just how I look at it. Hope this helps! :)
