Map Projections Four types of distortion can occur: 1. shape of an area is distorted. 2. distance between two points may increase or decrease. 3. relative size of different areas may be altered. 4. direction from one place to another can be distorted.

Mercator a map projection that fairly accurately shows shape and direction, but distorts distance and size of land masses.

Sinusoidal smoothly curving map that accurately presents the center of the map but the remaining is distorted.

Azimuthal a map which shows true compass directions; longitude lines are straight and latitude lines are circles; distorts shape and size more toward the outer edges.

Goode’s Interrupted Equal Area shows true size and shape of earth's landmasses

Fuller Dymaxion displays the entire world at once with minimal distortion. It looks like a bunch of triangles put together.

Conic a map projection of the globe onto a cone with its point over one of the earth's poles Shapes are shown correctly, but size is distorted.

Robinson a projection that maintains overall shapes and relative positions without extreme distortion. Most classrooms use this projection.

Gall-Peters a projection that displays accurate axes, but shapes are distorted. They are hard to navigate when the shapes are not accurate
