Latitude and longitude are straight and parallel Type of Projection Shape Used Characteristics Distortions Mercator Projection Page 41 Conic Projection Page 42 Azimuthal Projection Robinson Projection A widely-used type of map in which the Earth is shown within an ellipse with a flat top and bottom. -lines of latitude are parallel to the equator -lines of longitude are elliptical arcs area is represented accurately, but the distances and compass directions are distorted Latitude and longitude are straight and parallel Land at the poles appears larger than it should. Cylinder Distorted away from reference latitude. Longitudes are straight. Latitudes are curved. Cone One point of reference. Longitude straight. Latitude Curved Greater exaggeration away from center of map. Plane
