Different Map Projections Mercator Robinson Interrupted

Map Projections PositivesNegatives Mercator Robinson Interrupted

Mercator Projection

Correct shapes of land Lines of latitude are straight Lines help show true directions: N,S,E,W ≠Size is distorted ≠North and South Poles are huge ≠Lines of Longitude are also straight (curvy)

Robinson Projection

Correct size of land and water Lines of latitude are straight Lines of longitude are curvy Good for measuring distances and sizes ≠Shape is distorted ≠Places look longer than they are— stretched

Interrupted Projection

Looks like an orange peel Correct size and shapes of land and water ≠Distance hard to determine because its broken up
