4
Goode/Interrupted Projection
-represents 3-D earth -shapes and sizes accurate -impossible to measure distances -Directions confusing
5
Robinson Projection -doesn’t distort anything too badly
-can measure direction -can measure distance -isn’t too good at anything -distorted edges
6
Hobo-dyer projection -equal area Projection -more “pleasing”
than Peters
7
Fuller projection (Dymaxion)
