Chapter 6: Map Projections 6.1. Are all of the lines of latitude parallel to each other on both the globe and the Mercator projection? 62 Do all of the parallels and meridians cross each other at right angles on both the globe and the Mercator? (Hint: Look carefully at just the immediate intersection of a parallel and a meridian on the globe) 63 On a globe, the meridians converge toward the poles. Describe the pattern of mendians on the Mercator. 6.4 is north always straight toward the top of the Mercator projection? 65 How would the North Pole be represented on the Mercator? 6.6 Could a single graphic scale be used to measure distances on a Mercator projection? Explain. 6.7 Why is it more necessary to know the properties of map projections when studying small-scale atias than large-scale topographical maps? 68 What benefits do a sailor and a pilot derive from understanding map projections? 69 Describe three of the main types of map projection, and state what type of projection you would choose for a map of the Arctic regions, giving reasons for your choice. 6:22 Give a brief explanation of the properties and uses of the Zenithal projections, and sketch the grid of parallels and meridians. 6.23 Map projections can be classified based on different criteria. Pick any three of such criteria and list the classifications under them. 6.24 Compare and contrast the properties and appropriate uses of Conical and Cylindrical Projections. 6.28 Explain the principles on which Mercator's Projection is constructed and sketch a portion of the grid from 0-60"N. and 0-60"E, Show that a straight line represents a line of constant bearing and indicate how the scale can be determined at a given point. 6.29 A straight line cuts the meridians on the Mercator projection and on the cylindrical equal area projection at a constant angle. Explain why in one case the straight line is useful to mariners, and in the other, it is not. 6.34 Different countries use different map projections. Why? 6.35 Different countries use different map projections. How does this fact relate to the position and shape of countries? 6.36 Why it is necessary to use map projections to draw maps of Earth, 6:37 Name the main eight parameters required in any geodetic map projection 638 Definitions: define the following terms with a concise sentence that clearly shows your understanding of the term: a Cylinder: b.

Design a suitable map projection for this project if scale distortions in the area must be kept to a minimum, explaining the reasons for your choices. Your design must clearly explain the aspect, distortion characteristic developable shape, locations of standard lines, locations of central parallel and central meridian, and suggest the name of the projection type
