Answer:
Options:
robinson / mercator / winkel tripel / azimuthal equidistant
Which types of projections are described below?
Lines of latitude and longitude intersect at right angles on a mercator projection map.
The azimuthal equidistant projection map is useful for planning air routes.
Explanation:
The Mercator projection is a type of map projection in a cylindrical shape, where the meridians are parallel vertical lines with equal separation, and the latitude lines are horizontal straight lines that become more separated as they are further away from the Equator. It's very popular in navigation charts, as it enables to plan a straight line course.
The Azimuthal Equidistant Projection is a type of map projection made to show the surface of a three dimensional sphere on a plane. One of its main characteristics is that it represents the actual distances from any point on the map to the center point, therefore is very useful for determining flight distances.
