2 Mercator --cylindrical projection --1569 --shapes mostly accurate
--size distortions --directions true

3 Gall-Peters Projection
-size accurate -directions accurate -shapes stretched -top and bottom cut off

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)
-preserves shape -preserves size -difficult to calculate distances

8 Guelke Projection -shows distance accurately -distorts size
