Question 3

What is a map projection?

Accepted Answer

A map projection is a technique for placing locations on the surface of the earth onto a flat surface:Over the centuries,cartographers have devised numerous map projections that result in different types of distortions:Some of these projections are accurate in the way they portray area; they are said to preserve area:Others,which are used for local navigation,preserve angles between map features:Other projections show the shortest distance between two points on the surface of the earth as a straight line on the map:And some projections are compromises of all of these.
