Mercator projection is used on ships. It shows the correct shapes of continents but the areas are distorted. The longitude lines are parallel which makes the areas at the poles seem larger than they actually are. Hope this helps.

On a mereator projection the greatest distortion is produced
answer plss
None of them. However, the location is distorted the least.
It's the location. 'A projection is a system for mapping the round Earth on a flat surface. The Mercator projection map shows the accurate locations of the continents and oceans. The land and water areas, however, are greatly distorted toward the North and South Poles.'

One of the big disadvantages of a Mercator projection is that it cannot accurately project the areas around the north and south pole. A Mercator projection is not equally accurate in all directions, even away from the poles.
The Mercator projection map still is in use today because, although the sizes and distance were distorted, it still showed directions accurately.
Mercator is not a map, but a map projection, i.e. a way of representing the continents on a map. The Mercator projection is only accurate between 30 degrees north and south latitude. The further away you go from that point, the greater the exaggeration.
It is a Mercator projection!
what similarity about the mercator projection and the robinson projection?
The answer is the Mercator projection
what is one problem with the mercator projection
cylindrical projection
the mercator projection lines are straight but the robinsons are curved
