RE: INTRODUCTION TO CARTOGRAPHY - CONFORMAL PROJECTIONS

in #steemstem8 years ago

Sorry I did not read careful enough. I just followed several debates about how the earth should be presented in schoolbooks due to the mercator projection portraying the west bigger than it actually is. I was confused that these articles never mention the Mollweide projections that solves these issues without introducing to big shape distortions.

I'm glad you found my response useful! Projections are generally divided into three categories regarding their properties (conformal, equidistant, equal-area). I'm thankful you took the time to read my post and response! Hope to see you around again. Stay awesome!
