Question

1. Draw four illustrations of a globe and paper that are positioned to yield equatorial, transverse, oblique, and polar aspect projections. Label the equator in each. Use your textbook or lecture material if you need a reference.2. On any map, why is there distortion at areas that do not fall on lines of tangency or secancy?

Answer 1

Answer:

1) attached below

2) assumption that the earth is spherical

Explanation:

1) Four illustrations of a globe

attached below

2) Reason for distortions at areas that do not fall on lines of tangency or secancy

The reason for distortion on areas outside the lines of tangency or secancy is because of the assumption that the earth is spherical which is not true hence map projections on the areas that fall on the lines of tangency do not experience distortion and are true
